Long-term agreement aligns with Aleph’s scale-up strategy, stands to make production of cultivated meat more cost-efficient. Thermo Fisher Scientific will produce some of Aleph’s formulations of growth media – the feed that contains everything cells need to live and grow. The details of the agreement were published as part of a white paper earlier this week. At-scale production costs represent a major obstacle to the widespread commercialization of cultivated animal products...
The Liquid Chromatography Flowmeter (LCF) from TESTA Analytical is a real-time monitoring device for continuously measuring the performance of pumps serving HPLC and uHPLC systems. Traditionally the quality of analytical data from HPLC systems has been determined by periodic checks of a set of measured parameters. This unfortunately just gives you a snapshot of how your HPLC system is performing at a point in time and cannot assure the total quality of an application...
Biotech Fluidics has launched a new range of traceable, certified PEEK and fluoropolymer flexible tubing for use in regulated environments. Tubing is an essential part of every fluidic system. In many medical and life science applications, biocompatibility requirements from regulatory standards including ISO 10993 (medical device and dental materials), US Pharmacopeia Class VI (toxicity), FDA title 21 and EU Regulation 1907/2006 (DEHP content) strictly govern what flexible plastic tubing can be used...

Aston University has been named as one of the UK’s leading lights in what is predicted to be the future of food - lab-made meat. The University is one of 17 higher education institutions that are expected to play a major role in the development of cultivated meat. Cultivated or lab-grown meat is made from cells taken from animals via biopsy. The cells are used to create meat which doesn’t involve the slaughter of animals...
TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING a.s. announces the first installation of its UniTOM XL with the new Spectral CT capability at University of Pau’s DMEX Centre for X-ray Imaging, Pau, France. Spectral CT provides chemical information at any point inside a sample, which is not possible using micro-CT alone. With Spectral CT scientists can now see the most subtle changes in material composition and purity, and low contrast materials, such as polymers, can be differentiated from each other...
Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the release of the Agilent 8697 Headspace Sampler -XL Tray with 120 vial capacity. Customers now have the choice of either 48 vial capacity, or an increased capacity of 120 vials through the new -XL Tray option. This new Agilent 8697 -XL Tray also includes the latest instrument intelligence features for increased uptime and operator ease-of-use compared to its predecessor, the 7697A Headspace Sampler....
Scientists have developed new technology which has made it possible to isolate and study how a single protein – 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – behaves and changes over time. The Nottingham Trent University team says the work – the first of its kind – enables them to see how a protein behaves in its natural environment and that it could help better understand proteins linked to disease and how they might respond to certain therapies...
Waters Corp introduces its newest MaxPeak Premier Oligonucleotide Columns – now with ethylene bridged hybrid (BEH) particle technology in 300Å wide pore versions – providing industry-leading chromatographic resolution for long-mer oligonucleotide separations to support applications for nucleic acid therapeutics and cell and gene therapies. The new columns have all the benefits customers can expect from Waters’ MaxPeak Premier high performance surface chemistry and BEH particle technology...
England’s first centre of its kind is set to make significant improvements in cancer diagnosis and treatment – by combining pioneering digital imaging with artificial intelligence. The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and its academic research partner The Institute of Cancer Research, London, have today announced the opening of their new joint Integrated Pathology Unit (IPU)...
The ioLight compact inverted microscope is the latest innovation from ioLight. The inverted microscope wraps the microscope in a sealed package for use inside CO2 incubators in biological laboratories. The sealed case is resistant to damp acidic atmospheres and means that you can monitor experiments without opening the door or disrupting your cells. An external tablet can be used to view images remotely...
With the new Mixer Mill MM 400 RETSCH has developed an extremely versatile bench-top unit which combines easy and safe handling with maximum flexibility for your sample preparation process. It is used for dry, wet and cryogenic grinding of small sample volumes up to 2 x 20 ml. The MM 400 covers a huge range of applications: from mixing and pulverizing to cell disruption for DNA/RNA- and protein extraction and mechanochemical processes...
Indica Labs, an industry leader in quantitative digital pathology and image management innovations, and Lunit, a leading medical AI software platform company focused on cancer biomarkers announced an agreement to provide a fully interoperable solution between Indica Labs’ HALO AP® image management software platform and Lunit’s suite of AI pathology products. The combined solution is already in use at Guardant Health, a leading precision oncology company...
Eppendorf - a leading life science company that develops and sells instruments, consumables and services for laboratories worldwide - has partnered with Clustermarket - the world-leading scheduling platform for laboratories - to offer a smooth integration between the Clustermarket equipment scheduler and Eppendorf’s VisioNize® Lab Suite. The integration combines software and hardware components from Eppendorf with Clustermarket’s operating system and gives scientists access to a holistic IoT device and lab management solution...

Asynt announces the expansion of it’s unique LightSyn photochemistry platform with a range of accessible heating and cooling temperature control solutions. With photoreactors designed to suit both batch photochemical reactions and parallel reactions in tubes/vials, global lab experts, Asynt, have launched complimentary bases for the platform which are suitable for both heating and cooling – providing optimum temperature control throughout the users’ reaction...
Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly – in extreme cases they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers in a project at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Freiburg, Germany, have developed a method that speeds up the healing process, making wounds heal three times faster...
Micronic launches a new addition to its comprehensive automatic recapping equipment range to accelerate sample storage workflows: the Screw Cap Recapper CS700 with Extended Height.
