Laboratory Science - Today's Top Stories

Accurate handheld micro to millilitre liquid handling

Accurate handheld micro to millilitre liquid handling

Integra has announced that it is now able to offer a complete range of handheld pipetting systems offering accurate liquid handling.
 

I/O Terminals Control DC Motors

As the next step in Beckhoff Automation's hybrid I/O and motor control technology, the KL2532 and KL2542 I/O terminals are a cost-effective alternative to traditional drive systems for DC motors.

Autosampler 2000 w/ bar code reader

For laboratories with high sample throughput, the real value of using SOPs is seen when fully automated particle size distribution measurements are made without operator intervention.

Automation

SOLATek 72 Multi-Matrix Vial Autosampler

Attain maximum throughput with 72-vial capacity, the highest quality sample pathway materials, and automated multiple additions for internal standard, surrogate and matrix spikes.

New Automatic cell feeding station

PROcellcare stands for a system, which supplies live cells under the microscope with biological nutrient and working solutions thus allowing the scientist/developer to execute efficient and automatic dispensing and controlling processes of the equipment.

Robotic Automation

Robotic automation is a cost effective choice compared to hand automation. Buckeye Machine can integrate a robot for your repetitive automation needs. Why choose robotic automation?

Biotechnology

Fatty acids anger the immune system

Researchers have new evidence to explain how saturated fatty acids, which soar in those who are obese, can lead the immune system to respond in ways that add up to chronic, low-grade inflammation.

Drunken fruit flies aid fight against alcoholism

A group of drunken fruit flies have helped researchers identify entire networks of genes-also present in humans-that play a key role in alcohol drinking behaviour.

Surface texture and algae growth

Engineers are assessing systematic production methods that could make the costs of algae oil production more reasonable, helping move the U.S. from fossil fuel dependency to renewable energy replacements.

Cell Cultures

Hydrogen peroxide's link to living cells

If a circadian rhythm is like an orchestra - the united expression of the rhythms of millions of cells - a common chemical may serve as the conductor, or at least as the baton.

Scaffolding helps grow skin in labs

Scientists are developing new scaffolding technology which could be used to grow tissues such as skin, nerves and cartilage using 3D spaghetti-like structures.

How bacteria avoid destruction in cells

An international team of researchers report a way in which intracellular pathogens exploit the biological attributes of their hosts in order to escape destruction.

Chromatography

CycloGraph Centrifugal Chromatography System

The CycloGraph system is a centrifugally accelerated device for performing preparative chromatographic separations. The device spins a layer of adsorbent material coated as a flat ring on a glass backing.

Multi-dimensional gas chromatograph

The key hardware component of the MDGC system is a capillary-optimized pressure switching device that directs flow from the first column directly to a monitor detector or to the second column and detector.

Cyclograph deluxe centrifuge chromotography device

The CycloGraph system is a centrifugally accelerated device for performing preparative thin layer radial separations.
SYFT

Spectrometry, imaging

Mobile microscopes illuminate the brain

Scientists have developed a way of actually watching the activity of many brain cells simultaneously in an animal that is free to move around the environment.

Unlocking Mysteries of the Brain with PET

Inflammatory response of brain cells could tell researchers more about why certain neurologic disorders, such as migraine headaches and psychosis in schizophrenic patients, occur and provide insight into how to best treat them.

Surface dissolution imaging

The SDI300 is a unique UV area imaging detector which enables quantitative imaging of surface phenomena of a diverse range of substances including APIs, formulations, gels, liquids, stents and patches.
