The Firesting-Pro from Pyro Science works with optical O2, pH, and temperature minisensors & -probes and flow-through cells, sensor spots & vials with contactless read-out. It measures important parameters in a single sample with maximum flexibility concerning analyte, sensor format, measuring mode, and application range.

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.

Tecan and laboratory software specialist Ugentec have announced a collaboration to develop fully integrated, sample-to-result solutions for PCR workflows.

The Vitrocell Cloud Alpha series innovates aerosol delivery and presents a great leap forward in automated exposure of cell cultures. It combines reliable exposure of cell cultures from the respiratory tract with ease of use.

Three years ago, chemists at the University of Innsbruck found evidence for the existence of a new variety of ice. Until then, 18 types of crystalline ice were known. The team led by Thomas Loerting now reports in Nature Communications on the elucidation of the crystal structure of ice XIX using neutron diffraction.

PCR tests are currently the most reliable method of detecting infection with Sars-Cov-2. Fragments of the genetic material of the virus are detected. The genetic material contained in the sample must first be purified and concentrated. For this purification, the most effective methods use specially coated magnetic particles. An invention by KIT scientists makes this complex method more efficient.

A team at the Salk institute revealed a never-before-seen antibody binding, informing both liver cancer and antibody design. The multi-institute collaboration used X-ray crystallography and recombinant antibodies to uncover the workings of an elusive molecule central to human health.

Agilent Technologies introduced the Agilent Seahorse XF HS Miniplate designed specifically for the Seahorse XF HS Mini Analyzer for improved immune cell metabolic analysis.

Japanese scientists successfully used a new cell culture platform to observe never-before-seen behaviors of live cancer cells under the microscope, leading to explanations of long-known cancer characteristics.

A multi-year collaboration between researchers within Resource Recovery at the University of Borås and a textile manufacturing company has resulted in a new type of reactor made of a textile material. The reactor transforms different kinds of waste into new products, such as biofuel.
