Scientists studying blackgrass, the UK’s most harmful weed, have detected early signs of resistance evolving to one of its main control agents, the weed killer glyphosate. Worryingly, these latest findings show that this ubiquitous farmland weed could soon become uncontrollable, as glyphosate is one of the last lines of defence against what has been described as a weed “epidemic”.....
Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a new Total Residual Oxidant (TRO) analyzer to address the needs of the wastewater industry, which calls for a robust, dependable instrument capable of reliably measuring low ppb chlorine concentrations in effluent and treated wastewater in line with stringent regulatory requirements. Operating on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-approved iodometric electrode technology....
Ambient air quality is critical for our health and the environment. According to the World Health Organization 91% of the world population lives in places where the WHO air quality guideline levels are not met. To monitor the air quality, Metrohm Process Analytics has re-invented the well-known Monitor for AeRosols and Gases in ambient Air (MARGA) as the 2060 MARGA.
Promega Corporation's new Promega Water-Glo™ System, launched this week, offers a highly sensitive and flexible measurement tool for monitoring microbial contamination in freshwater, process water, seawater or wastewater samples using bioluminescent technology to measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Even the slightest change in ATP levels acts as an early warning system to quickly assess the presence of live...
Translational science and research organisation, Fera Science Limited, has begun construction work on a new aquatic laboratory testing facility, which will provide a broadening range of ecotoxicology test services directly from the organisation’s site in Sand Hutton, Yorkshire. The state-of-the-art facility, which will include three advanced testing rooms and associated plant rooms, will be able to replicate a range of simulated study environments that means a wider variety of fish ecotoxicology testing studies can take place...
Could rubber and plastic from tyres, washing into rivers and streams, be contributing to pollution in waste water? A group of scientists from Denmark are using a system from Renishaw to find out. Microplastics are small, hard-to-spot, particles that make their way—from products and packaging—into the environment and cause significant pollution. The Danish Technological Institute (DTI, Aarhus, Denmark) is using a Renishaw Raman spectroscopy system to...
High throughput, fast analysis times and low detection limits: Analytik Jena has optimized its ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer) solutions for the requirements of routine drinking water analysis. The PlasmaQuant MS series offers optimal performance in throughput and analysis time without sacrificing precision. The ICP-MS systems of the PlasmaQuant MS series analyze 60 drinking water samples per hour for 21 elements...
Operators of wastewater treatment plants depend on reliable methods to monitor plant performance. Metrohm is pleased to present a collection of standardized methods (ISO, DIN, EPA) for critical parameters ranging from chemical oxygen demand (COD), to alkalinity, oxyhalides, and heavy metals. The mentioned brochure is free of charge and describes methods such as DIN 38409-44 (Chemical oxygen demand), DIN 38406-3 (Total hardness, Ca2+, Mg2+), EPA 300.1, Part B (Oxyhalides)....
IC-MS is a proven method for the highly sensitive and selective analysis of anions, oxoanions, herbicides, and pesticides. Metrohm enhances the benefits of this method by integrating inline sample preparation for more convenience, higher throughput, and better reproducibility of results. A technical poster gives an overview of the many possible applications. The Metrohm IC-MS method is dedicated to develop selective, sensitive, robust and accelerated applications for the detection of ions in matrix-loaded samples....
Spectro Scientific, one of the world’s largest suppliers of oil, fuel, and processed-water analysis instrumentation and software, has released a new generation of its field-proven FluidScan® mid-infrared spectrometer handheld oil analyzer. Patented FluidScan technology collects light transmitted through drop of a fluid sample and registers the infrared absorption spectrum. The analyzer compares spectrum to a built-in fluid reference library provid, on-site analysis of...
From September 1, 2018, the use of five neonicotinoid pesticides are banned in France, making the nation stricter than the European Union, which has only banned three of the five popular pesticides. The move comes after various studies demonstrated the potential harmful impact of the nicotine-based chemicals on bees and aquatic invertebrates. Dr Rachael Benstead, senior aquatic ecotoxicologist at...

Scientists at the John Innes Centre are relying on automatic photobioreactors from algal specialists Algenuity to look more closely at algal blooms – a phenomenon that is increasingly becoming an issue and has been linked to extreme weather patterns. Professor Rob Field, a Project Leader at the centre, explained: “Our work so far has centred on the Prymnesium golden algae. These produce a toxin lethal to gill-breathing organisms which has major implications in fish farming worldwide...
