Whether in the field of production and quality control, research, development or the analytical laboratory, particle measurement is essential in many areas. This requires reproducible results, as with the Fritsch Particle Sizers.

Four additional variants have been added to Eppendorf’s line-up of Move It adjustable tip spacing pipettes. With adjustable cone distances, these pipettes allow scientists to accelerate and simplify their workflow when pipetting between different vessel formats such as from tubes to plates.

The Smart Manager is one of Malvern Panalytical's new smart solutions. This cloud based ‘control room’ connects and monitors all Zetium and Axios-max XRF systems.

Shimadzu has announced the release of the AOC-30 series of automatic sample injection systems for gas chromatographs. Equipped with unique technologies and functionalities, the AOC-30 series automatic sample injection systems offer the automation, productivity and remote operability needed for next-generation laboratories.

The import of palm oil, soybeans, and beef contribute significantly to deforestation in other parts of the world. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Louvain, Belgium, evaluated over a thousand policy proposals for how the EU could reduce this impact.

Semi-permeable polymer membranes are an efficient way to produce clean water. To overcome existing challenges such as fouling, US researchers have now used computational methods to advance membrane technology.

In a colourful solution to a dangerous problem, Australian scientists are adapting a component from cutting-edge solar cells to design a rapid, light-based detection system for deadly toxins.

Flavor differences in whiskey can be discerned based solely on the environment in which the barley used to make the whiskey is grown, a new study co-authored by an Oregon State University researcher found.

When most people hear “food contamination,” they think of bacteria present on unwashed fruits or vegetables, or undercooked meat. However, there are other ways for harmful contaminants to be present in food products.

Compared with meat eaters, fish eaters have a lower risk of several adverse heart diseases, including stroke. These findings, which were part of new research looking at the diets and risk of developing or dying from heart diseases of more than 420,000 people in the UK, also concluded that vegetarianism was associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease.

Food testing laboratories need reliable data management systems in order to comply with the ever increasing regulatory requirements. LIMS platforms play an important role in terms of compliance with HACCP and ISO 17025 as well as in the implementation of comprehensive security mechanisms.

Protein engineering is one of the most important — and time consuming — processes of drug development. ​Artificial Intelligence is now capable of generating novel, functionally active proteins, thanks to recently published work by researchers from Chalmers.

Scientists at the University of Würzburg, Germany, and the biopharmaceutical company Aeterna Zentaris are working on the development of an oral vaccine against Covid-19. Preclinical development, which should pave the way for the first clinical trials in humans, has already begun.

Within the framework of a strategic technology collaboration, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Artificial want to develop an integrated and comprehensive software automation platform for Thermo Fisher’s standardized Covid-19 Testing Platform. The integration ist result in increased testing throughput and support global healthcare initiatives.

Roche announced the launch of its cobas pure integrated solutions in countries accepting the CE mark. This new compact analyser combines three technologies on a single platform helping to simplify daily operations in labs with limited space and resources.

A density determination can be carried out with a balance. A new poster by Mettler Toledo gives tips on how to set up the density measurement.

Today’s busy laboratories are under pressure to produce, and spilled materials are often an unwelcome show-stopper when weighing. Not anymore. With an new patented lattice weighing pan, laboratory workers keep working while maintaining the accuracy your process requires to enhance productivity and throughput.

Weighing is an important act in every laboratory — but it can become tedious and even uncomfortable. The design of the new, smaller XPR Analytical balance gives a deeper access to the weighing chamber.

Laboratory technicians often don't know which test weights and weight class they should choose to check the performance of their balances and scales. The free Mettler Toledo GWP Recommendation service specifies the correct test weights and weight class based on the degree of accuracy you need to satisfy your specific process tolerances.
