A special property of latex is its extraordinary elasticity, which cannot be matched by any synthetic product. Protective gloves made of latex are used in the food industry, hairdressing and by cleaners. However, latex gloves can cause allergies in frequent users. To prevent allergic reactions, latex products were comminuted for further analysis in the Variable Speed Rotor Mill PULVERISETTE 14 premium line...
With many scientists working in siloes, Europe’s fragmented research landscape means countless discoveries are not capitalised on and duplicate data is created. But, a €30 million project to deliver the underlying infrastructures for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) has concluded with nine key services to ensure its future smooth running – meaning researchers will now find it easier to collaborate across disciplinary and geographical boundaries with services that support their scientific discovery...

By combining longevity and quality with sustainability aspects, the CryoCube F570...
Blood testing is ideal for a wide range of analytes, but it has limitations for hormone analysis. In Canada, FLUIDS iQ has turned to saliva as an alternative test matrix, which is proving an excellent choice for measuring the bioavailability of a range of hormones in the wellness arena. Blood has long been considered the ‘go to’ medium for a range of diagnostic tests, with saliva testing....
