Chemical detection innovator secures access to global markets
Early-stage investor Rainbow Seed Fund announces that Oxfordshire-based Cobalt Light Systems, a provider of highly differentiated Raman spectroscopic instruments, has been acquired by Agilent Technologies Inc....
Quantum technology is seen as an important future-oriented technology: smaller, faster and with higher performance than conventional electronics.
However, exploiting quantum effects is difficult because nature’s smallest building blocks have properties quite distinct from those we know from our everyday world. An international team of researchers has now succeeded in extracting a fault tolerant manipulation of quanta from an effect of classical mechanics.....

Genevac has established a new web page that brings together customer technical articles that illustrate how centrifugal evaporation has become a sample preparation technique of choice for laboratories that seek to analyse complex samples using hyphenated mass spectrometry [MS] techniques.
Many laboratories still rely upon the use of a rotary evaporator to perform the evaporation part of their sample preparation protocol prior to LC-MS or GC-MS analysis. While rotary evaporator methods often give good recoveries, they can only handle a single sample, require continuous monitoring to control the process and to ensure that no foaming or bumping occurs....
Cole-Parmer is introducing the Arcis Sample Preparation System, which can extract DNA and RNA for downstream processes such as PCR/qPCR and sequencing in just three minutes.
A study conducted by the Institute of Infection and Global Health, University of Liverpool, compared the preparation time, DNA yield, PCR and qPCR results of the Arcis Sample Prep Kit with three other kits. The results showed that the Arcis Sample Prep Kit dramatically accelerates pre-analytical sample prep without compromising the quantity and quality of genomic material....
