BioChromato Inc. has published an interview that describes a new bioremediation technique developed by a leading Environmental Research Center and how the Smart Evaporator C1 offers a productive tool for preparing microbial degradation culture media for analysis. The novel bioremediation technique, based upon patented degrading microorganisms impregnated on carbonized wood, has been demonstrated to detoxify persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that cannot be decomposed by natural processes in soil.
A diffraction grating is used to separate polychromatic light into its constituent wavelengths. In a Raman spectrometer diffraction gratings are used to separate the constituent wavelengths of the collected Raman scatter onto different pixels of the CCD camera for detection. All Raman spectrometers will require at least one diffraction grating and will frequently be configured to contain more than one to allow the user optimum grating selection for their samples and excitation wavelength(s).
Global provider of human and animal biospecimens - AMSBIO offers a custom procurement service enabling researchers to source specific biofluid and tissue samples which are not already available in their extensive biorepository. To support increasingly complex research, AMSBIO aims to provide a full range of blood-based products, including whole blood, serum, plasma, blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)....
ACHEMA 2022 – the World Forum for the Process Industries – will be held at the Frankfurt Fairground from 22 to 26 August 2022, instead of 4 to 8 April 2022 as originally planned. This decision was made in view of the increasing uncertainty caused by the new Corona variant after intensive discussions with the community and in the ACHEMA Committee...
YMC-Triart C18 UHPLC columns with an ID of 1 mm are the ideal choice for high sensitivity LC/MS analyses. In this new application note, the screening of 6 antineoplastic drugs is shown. This analysis requires the highest sensitivity since even the smallest amounts of these drugs need to be detected due to their adverse very serious, life-threatening effects. By choosing a high efficiency column with a small internal diameter of 1 mm and coupling it to mass spectrometry the benefit becomes clear: excellent peak shapes – also for low sensitivity compounds!
