It is not just analytica that is taking a new approach. The redesigned laboratory pumps of the Laboport series bring simple handling to everyday lab practice. They have been honored with the coveted international Red Dot Award: Product Design 2020. The award-winning N 820 G and its sister models will be presented in October at analytica 2020, where they can be viewed around the clock in the virtual “Product premieres” area.,,,
ILC Therapeutics, a Scottish biotech company, has announced that its unique synthetic Interferon called Alfacyte™ is fifteen to twenty times more effective at preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus which causes COVID-19) in cell culture than other commercially-available Interferons such as Interferon alpha 2 and Interferon beta 1a. COVID-19 tries to slow down the body’s innate Interferon response to viral infection and Alfacyte™ is designed to help accelerate this response and prevent disease progression....
Metabolic phenotyping using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been applied to the characterization of the metabolic effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on human blood plasma. Metabolomic analysis was used to quantify key lipid and protein components of blood samples collected from...
INTEGRA Biosciences’ cost-effective liquid handling products are ideal for molecular diagnostics workflows, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis, making it easy for labs to scale up their testing capacities quickly and easily. It is often assumed that high throughput can only be achieved with huge investment. This simply isn’t the case with INTEGRA’s affordable pipetting solutions, which can increase lab productivity and the reproducibility of results, without the need for large liquid handling platforms and at an affordable price.
The Native Antigen Company (now part of LGC’s Clinical Diagnostics Division), one of the world’s leading suppliers of reagents that enables research into vaccines and diagnostics for emerging and endemic infectious diseases, has announced the introduction of ten new monoclonal antibodies recognising SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. These ten antibodies recognise different epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein, nine of which are SARS-CoV-2-specific and do not cross-react with other human coronaviruses...
With Müller + Müller now under the DWK Life Sciences umbrella, in conjunction with the substantial capital investment made in the Rockwood, TN (USA) facility, DWK Life Sciences has solidified its position as one of the world’s leading producers of precision glassware for primary packaging containers, addressing the demand for pharmaceutical, biotech and diagnostic applications....
PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, has announced that the first Turnkey Lighthouse lab in Newport, South Wales, is now processing COVID-19 testing samples as part of the Company’s collaboration with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in support of the UK Government’s Test and Trace strategy...
Cobra Biologics (Cobra), part of the Cognate BioServices family, an international CDMO manufacturer of biological materials and pharmaceuticals, and Scancell Holdings plc (Scancell), the developer of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious disease, today announced that they have entered into a collaboration for Cobra to manufacture Scancell’s COVID-19 vaccine....
The UK Government has entered into a contract with Abingdon Health, on behalf of the UK-Rapid Test Consortium (“UK-RTC”), for the supply of the AbC-19TM Rapid Antibody tests. As part of the contract the UK Government has placed its first order for one million COVID-19 rapid antibody tests. This follows an independent evaluation commissioned by the UK government of the AbC-19TM Rapid Antibody test, which will be published in full in due course by PHE, after peer review....
The American scientist Christopher Zimmerman, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute in Princeton, New Jersey, USA has won the 2020 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for his work on the neural circuits that govern thirst and drinking behavior. Zimmerman discovered that sensory signals originating throughout the body come together within individual neurons in the brain to produce the sense of thirst....
Are you looking for robust and reproducible columns to evaluate peptides? Do you want to separate oligonucleotides with high resolution? Robust YMC-Triart C18 columns are the perfect choice for reliable and reproducible (U)HPLC analyses of peptides and oligonucleotides with exceptional resolution. The wide temperature- (up to 90°C) and pH-range (1-12) provide increased flexibility....
Renishaw has introduced the Particle Analysis software module for its inVia™ confocal Raman microscope. The module automates the inVia microscope so that it can identify particles on images and then chemically analyse them using Raman spectroscopy. Renishaw's inVia Raman system has a high-quality microscope that is ideal for producing optical images of particles on surfaces....
Phase 3 clinical trials are underway for COVID-19 vaccines, some of which call for an ultra-low freezer for storage and transport. Examples described in a September Wall Street Journal article notes the unusually cold storage temperatures – as low as -80?C – required. Covid-19 vaccine candidates are one of many applications for ultra-low freezers. This post provides you with info on when and how to specify one of these units
Postnova Analytics powerful EAF4 technology combines the principle of Electrical and Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation in just one system. Electrical and Cross Flow Fields can now be applied in one Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF) channel opening up completely new routes for separations which are based on particle size / molar mass and also on particle / molecule charge....
