The provider of computational pathology software and services, Indica Labs announced that following ISO13485 certification, Halo AP has received a CE Mark for use in primary diagnosis within the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK.

The inventor of the Gelred and Gelgreen DNA gel stains, Biotium, announces the release of Ember 500 RNA Prestain Loading Dye. This novel prestain loading dye is much more sensitive than conventional prestaining with ethidium bromide (EtBr). In addition, it is compatible with blue LED gel imagers, unlike EtBr, the company states.

Thousands of square metres of coral are being grown on previously destroyed reefs in Indonesia, but previously it was unclear whether these new corals would revive the entire reef ecosystem. Now a new study, led by researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Bristol, finds a heathy, diverse soundscape on the restored reefs.

Scientists from UC Riverside are studying how the popular keto and intermittent fasting diets work on a molecular level, and whether both sexes benefit from them equally.

Foie gras has been valued as a delicacy in some cultures for more than 4000 years. The texture — i.e. the feeling that the liver produces in the mouth — cannot yet be imitated. A research group has now tackled this issue in a collaboration attempted to uncover the secrets of liver pâté.

Researchers have revealed that an increase in red or processed meat trade across the globe can be directly linked to a rise in diet-related illnesses (non-communicable diseases). The greatest effect of this scenario can be seen in Northern and Eastern Europe as well as the island nations of Caribbean and Oceania. To take charge of this situation, they suggest that health policies should be integrated with agricultural and trade policies.

Do we have our best ideas while walking? Indeed, but even small movements while sitting improve creativity, as two researchers have discovered.

Addressing one of the most profoundly unanswered questions in biology, a Rutgers-led team has discovered the structures of proteins that may be responsible for the origins of life in the primordial soup of ancient Earth.

When Mr Spock and his friends beamed on the surface of an unknown planet, they used fancy instruments to detect life signs. Like many other gadgets “invented” in the Stark Trek Universe, this gadget my be closer to become a reality than you might think.

Medtech and digital health company Onera Health announced the introduction of its first Onera Biomedical-Lab-on-Chip, an ultra-low-power biosignal sensor hub for wearable health.

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.
