Scientists all over the world are working on solving the issue of complete light absorption. Russian researchers decided to find the answer to this question and calculate the properties of an object that could completely absorb all light it would come into contact with.

The Mohawk from Ziath is a semi-automated tube picker for frozen or thawed sample tube picking from 96-position racks.

Leica Microsystems has launched a new class of instruments for high-speed, high-quality imaging of a large diversity of samples.

A consortium wants to assess multiple new or existing process analytical technologies (PAT), including Horiba’s A-TEEM fluorescence technology. The aim is to accelerate technology development and potentially lower cost in cell and gene therapy manufacturing.

Specialist of 3D cell-based assay technology Insphero, officially launched a pre-competitive consortium that brings together representatives from pharmaceutical companies engaged and invested in the development of cross-species drug testing and validation strategies for rapid, reliable drug-testing of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and translation to humans.

The world’s oceans could harbor an unpleasant surprise for global warming, based on new research that shows how naturally occurring carbon gases trapped in reservoirs atop the seafloor escaped to superheat the planet in prehistory. These undersea carbon reservoirs have caused global warming before — and it could happen again, according to research by an international team of scientists led by the University of South Carolina.

Independent analytical testing, contract research, development and manufacturing company, Solvias, has acquired Massachusetts-based Chemic Laboratories. With this acquisition, the company gains a strong foothold in the United States and highly complementary laboratory testing capabilities.

For many years, laboratories have viewed the use of robots and automation with caution. The sensitive tasks required human instinct. In the meantime, however, the intelligent technologies behind robots and the hardware have matured to such an extent that they are increasingly becoming everyday helpers in laboratories as well. We have evaluated some revealing statistics for you and presented them in comprehensive charts.

A research team led by physicians of the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems (KL Krems) uncovers a pivotal role for a regulator protein in tumour bone marrow angiogenesis.
