What are the hallmarks of a modern laboratory, and what do manufacturers expect? We spoke to Wolfgang Why, CTO of WILD Gruppe, a company that develops and manufactures laboratory instruments and equipment.

A new research project aims to improve treatment for patients with prostate, breast and lung cancer through artificial intelligence. The consortium behind the project wants to develop healthcare evidence-generation practices for the incorporation of real-world evidence into clinical practice guidelines (CPGs).

Worldwide, the quantity and diversity of insects are declining: scientists have reported more and more evidence for this in recent years. In politics and society, these findings have raised great concern. Now, a study analyzing the impact of climate and land use shows that urbanization is yet another key factor insect population decline.

Laboratories depend on many single-use products. COMPAMED-tradefair.com spoke to Helmut Schmid, Director of Sales & Marketing at HEKUMA GmbH, about the role of automation in this setting and the corresponding processes.

Electronic textiles offer revolutionary new opportunities in various fields, in particular healthcare. But to be sustainable, they need to be made of renewable materials. A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, now presents a thread made of conductive cellulose, which offers fascinating and practical possibilities for electronic textiles.

A team of researchers led by scientists from the Interface Science Department of the Fritz-Haber-Institute have found out that the important industrial process of methanol production can be positively influenced if the copper catalyst used in the reaction comes into contact with zinc oxide.

Eppendorf has developed the brand new Visionize pipette manager and is on its way towards digitalization in manual pipetting.

Researchers at Mainz University developed a new procedure for the quick, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly production of essential substances required by the pharmaceutical industry.

In the refining process for edible oils conditions must be carefully controlled to avoid the formation of toxic process contaminants, such as 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, Glycidol and their fatty acid esters. An automated GC/MS-method now enables highly efficient determination of these compounds based on standard methods.

Drawing upon patented Vacuum Vortex Concentration technology, the Bio Chromato Smart Evaporator C10 offers fast and effective evaporation of up to ten samples in vials in parallel improving your labs productivity.
