INTEGRA has published a ‘How-It-Works’ guide to explain the benefits of using a peristaltic pump for pumping and dispensing a wide variety of liquids.
Pumping and dispensing culture media, buffer solutions and other liquids are routine tasks undertaken by many laboratories. Making sure that the liquid remains contamination-free during the pumping / dispensing operation, ease of operation and maintenance as well as ensuring a wide range of liquids can be transferred with high precision are key attributes of a good peristaltic pump....
Effective July 1, 2017, Analytik Jena AG is selling all of its shares in AJ Blomesystem GmbH to the GUS Group.

Researchers from University of Leicester and EarthSense examine associations of air pollution in Leicestershire
An interdisciplinary team of scientists from the University of Leicester and other institutions has played a pivotal role in research investigating a possible link between air pollution and the rise in type 2 diabetes. New research, published in the journal Environment International, examined data from 10,443 participants from diabetes screening studies in Leicestershire, UK...
A group of UK scientists led by the University of Dundee have demonstrated how aggregating image data from laboratories all around the world has the potential to revolutionise scientific research.
A team headed by Professor Jason Swedlow in the University’s School of Life Sciences has built the Image Data Resource (IDR), a public database that collects and integrates imaging data related to experiments published in leading scientific journals. This means that ‘Big Data’ from imaging experiments conducted by scientists all over the world that were previously too large and difficult to share are now publicly available...
