An immunohistochemistry and cellular pathology laboratory, in one of the UK’s busiest hospitals, is now benefitting from the unique Water-as-a-Service (WaaS) offering from Veolia. The lab, which operates 24/7 and delivers thousands of test results daily, required a new water treatment system but lacked the capital to purchase it outright. However, through the innovative and flexible approach of WaaS, the upgrade took place, and the facility is utilising industry-leading technology and specialist expertise...
This year, the Hamburg based life sicences company Eppendorf SE is awarding its prestigious research prize for the 30th time. The independent jury chaired by Prof. Laura Machesky, Cambridge, UK, selected Dr. Varun Venkataramani, Heidelberg University Hospital, Germany as the winner of the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators 2025. Varun Venkataramani receives the 20,000 Euro award for his research on...
Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) can be caused by prolonged and repetitive movements, and almost 90 % of scientists who regularly use pipettes for more than an hour a day report hand and elbow disorders, while others experience discomfort in the wrist, arm, shoulder and neck. The likelihood of developing an RSI from pipetting is dependent on various risk factors. The 3 major ones are posture, force and repetition.
Aston University biostatistician Dr Dan Green has identified the top ten errors he commonly sees in research papers in his work as a statistical reviewer for scientific and medical journals. Since 2021, he has reviewed more than 200 papers for journals such as BMJ Heart and Addiction, and has now written an article for BMJ Heart explaining the errors to help researchers avoid them...
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Auckland in New Zealand have developed a groundbreaking bioelectric implant that restores movement in rats after injuries to the spinal cord. This breakthrough offers new hope for an effective treatment for humans suffering from loss of sensation and function due to spinal cord injury...
In pharmaceutical quality control, deviations are not an option. This is why a LC column that delivers consistently reliable results, regardless of the measurement series or production batch, is needed. This requirement is exactly met by YMC-Triart UHPLC columns: a precisely controlled manufacturing process with tight specifications ensures consistent performance and minimises unwanted variances. The result is stable retention times, consistent peak shapes, and documentable quality, day after day...
Merck, a leading science and technology company, has announced that the Heinrich Emanuel Merck Award has been bestowed upon Alán Aspuru-Guzik (48), professor of chemistry and computer science at the University of Toronto, Canada, in recognition of his groundbreaking innovations in computational sciences. The award ceremony, held at the Stadttheater Lindau in conjunction with the Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting, highlighted the critical role of computational sciences in driving transformative research...
Refeyn, the company behind pioneering mass photometry technology, announces that mass photometry has been recognized by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP)—and referenced in the new draft USP general chapter <1067>—as a key orthogonal method for characterizing USP’s new adeno-associated virus (AAV) reference standards. As a major advancement in gene therapy quality, USP has recently released new standards for measuring empty and full AAV capsids using five different methods from a comprehensive multi-laboratory study...
Data stands at the centre of transformation in today’s digital labs — both as a major obstacle and a driving force for innovation, according to a survey of more than 150 scientists from Titian Software and Labguru. Data overload and management were identified as the most significant challenges impacting lab operations. This same data deluge offers a powerful opportunity: respondents cited AI’s potential to manage and extract insights from the vast volumes of data generated by experiments...
INTEGRA Biosciences’ liquid handling solutions and pipette automation software are helping 3T Biosciences – a biotech company based in South San Francisco, California – to enhance the reproducibility and productivity of its pipetting workflows, accelerating the discovery of novel cancer targets and therapeutics. Patients diagnosed with solid cancers or autoimmune diseases often have limited and ineffective treatment options...
Low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS) is a chromatography technique that uses the MS vacuum system, along with a specially designed column setup, to lower pressure inside the entire column, thereby significantly speeding up analysis. In addition to the speed benefit, LPGC-MS can also provide a cost savings by dramatically reducing helium consumption...
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, has announced that the Regeneron Genetics Center® (RGC™) has selected the Olink Explore HT proteomics platform for a large-scale proteomics investigation involving nearly 200,000 patient samples from the Geisinger Health Study that aims to unlock new insights into the dynamic biology and mechanisms of human disease...
