However, within the various new developments, each range will have more features and benefits that come as standard....
2021 marks a key milestone for anyone working in a lab. Sixty years ago, Eppendorf changed the ways of handling liquids forever by introducing the world’s first industrially manufactured piston-stroke pipette. Launched in 1961, the Eppendorf ‘Marburg Pipette’ featured the same basic elements as those found in today’s labs: a spring-loaded piston that stops precisely at a set volume level and a removable pipette tip made of plastic...
Autoscribe Informatics has announced the release of a LIMS specifically optimized for Covid testing. The Matrix Covid LIMS is pre-configured for fast deployment into laboratories performing Covid testing. The solution has already been deployed in several clinical diagnostic laboratories to drive efficiency and aid identification of Covid positive cases in the fight against the global pandemic....
Are you plagued with poor peak shapes, low sensitivities, sample carry over and/or low recoveries for challenging compounds. Several substances are able to interact with the usual inert column hardware materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The adsorption on metallic surfaces typically leads to peak tailing, loss of recovery and sample carry over. Critical substances are especially metal-coordinating compounds, such as fumonisins, sphingophospholipids or organophosphates in general....
Visitor registration is now open for Lab Innovations 2021, the UK’s only trade show for the entire laboratory industry, held at the NEC, Birmingham on 3 & 4 November.

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., have confirmed the speed, accuracy and simplicity of a novel, highly sensitive testing method for COVID-19 that can be deployed at entertainment venues, airport arrival terminals, and in remote settings where clinical testing laboratories are not available. The scientists used a three way comparison study to confirm that the Exponential Amplification Reaction (EXPAR) method is just as sensitive, but faster, than both PCR and LAMP tests...
Recent work by a team of researchers at Queen’s University Belfast and University College London has reported on a newly developed strategy for the manufacture of a high drug loaded amorphous solid dispersion (HDASD) using a hot-melt extrusion (HME) based platform. Around 80% of new drug candidates that emerge are classified as poorly soluble...
PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, has announced four new ready-to-use AlphaLISA® KRAS kits, designed to help scientists better understand complex KRAS protein structures and mutations so they can more easily, quickly, and precisely identify potential new therapeutic candidates for a wide range of prevalent cancers...
The new box is now called Box 2.0. The new design is a consistent, modern further development of the original product outfit. When epT.I.P.S.® pipette tips were introduced by Eppendorf in 2002, they were already marketed in the popular reusable box. After 19 years, the epT.I.P.S. brand is now getting a new look. But since looks aren't everything, the now even safer stackability of several boxes on top of each other is also ensured....
The UK genomic tools developer, RevoluGen Ltd. (RevoluGen or the Company), announce that its divisional method patent has been granted by the UK Intellectual Patent Office (UK IPO). This provides RevoluGen with controlling IP for its Fire Monkey High Molecular Weight (HMW) DNA extraction/size selection technology across its novel chemistry, column matrix and now its elution methodology...
