Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau AG marks the official start of construction for another expansion of its headquarters in Offenburg-Elgersweier with a ground-breaking ceremony. Having recently completed the new administration building, the family business is now investing in expanding its production capacity thanks to stable growth. The new building was also designed by architect Wilhelm Kasten and Kenzingen-based Freyler Industriebau will be handling the construction....
In response to the ever-increasing demand in new drug discovery and development, medicinal chemistry has progressed at a fast pace during the last ten years. To obtain a better understanding of the chemicals that are being researched, more efforts are paid to the analysis and purification of numerous compounds or polymer-bound compounds. As a professional medicinal chemistry expert as well as a leading practitioner, BOC Sciences....
The dry magnet system is helping to advance medical research at the Wohl Institute for Translational Medicine, part of the Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem. The system has a large axial 15 cm field of view which can be used for viewing the whole body of a rat, or other subjects in molecular detail. Simultaneous imaging, using both MRI and PET imaging at the same time, is possible as the MRI system has a PET module inserted within the bore of the dry magnet....
The Chromatrap® Protein Extraction kit from Porvair Sciences offers a fast and efficient method of extracting cytoplasmic, nuclear or total protein from mammalian cells. Combining the optimised protocol with proprietary reagents, the kit is able to provide high yields of purified active protein with low cross-fraction contamination in less than 90 minutes. Avoiding the need for ultracentrifugation steps in its protocol, the Chromatrap® Protein Extraction kit...
Micromeritics Instrument Corp., a global leader in material characterization technology, has launched the new, highly automated Sub-Sieve Autosizer II (SAS II), an instrument that boosts the productivity and accuracy of particle sizing via the air permeability technique, a benchmark in many industries. and substantially improved successor to the renowned Fisher Model 95 SubSieve Sizer (FSSS), it generates ‘Fisher numbers’ which are highly consistent to those of its predecessor...
The Innovation Award recognizes the significant potential the Company’s direct cellular conversion technology has to disrupt the future development of new medicines. Dr. Osbourn received the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the biotech industry throughout her career. Mogrify has developed a proprietary direct cellular conversion technology....
PhoreMost has leveraged its proprietary SITESEEKER® drug discovery platform and PROTEINi® libraries to identify a peptide sequence inhibiting a novel protein target which was previously thought to be undruggable, relevant to an oncogenic cellular pathway. Cresset Discovery Services has been contracted under a flexible service agreement to determine how the peptide binds to the target, and to ultimately help find small molecules that have the same effect....
BioMed X has announced the successful completion of their first research collaboration project with AbbVie in the field of tau-mediated neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. BioMed X received a milestone payment and the results of the project were transferred to AbbVie. The BioMed X team successfully developed research tools to assess disease-associated post-translational modification signatures of the tau protein in the brains and cerebrospinal fluids...
Scientists have tested a new way to protect crops from a widespread and devastating bacterial disease, without using environmentally damaging chemical sprays.
