Dolomite Microfluidics is leading the way in nanoparticle production with the release of its Automated Nanoparticle (ANP) System for microfluidic formulation library generation. This automated platform is the result of a four-year focus on the challenges commonly associated with batch production of lipid nanoparticles and liposomes for drug and vaccine development, including inconsistent particle size and poor encapsulation efficiency.

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.

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.

Next-gen electronics is envisioned to be non-rigid, component-free, flexible, bendable, and easily integrable with different objects. Printed electronics technology has emerged as the main route to enable this vision.

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.

The European cannabis market is forecast to grow with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 67.4 % to reach € 3.2 billion by 2025, a new report has found. Already, 60,000 people were able to access cannabis medications for the first time in Europe in 2020, bringing the total to 185,000 patients for the year.

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.

Whether employed in basic research or the production of biopharmaceuticals, monoclonal antibodies are used in an exceptionally wide range of applications. Until now, harvesting of mammalian cell cultures used to be time-consuming, especially at laboratory scale, and usually involved a centrifugation step. A new diatomaceous earth-based filtration solution now improves and accelerates this process significantly.

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.

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.
