Not every cell culture experiment is carried out in monitored bioreactors. Learn how continuous monitoring of different cell parameters can also be performed in conventional laboratory vessels such as shake flasks.

As of April 2021, Shimadzu will integrate its Fluidics business unit into its wholly owned subsidiary Infraserv Vakuumservice. The merger of the two companies is intended to combine their strengths in product range and services in one place in order to provide customers with even more targeted and better support.

German laboratory manufacturer C. Gerhardt completes its system portfolio for Kjeldahl analysis.

The BASF subsidiary Trinamix now supports the reliable differentiation between polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyamide 6.6 (PA66) with its Mobile Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Solution.

Microorganisms often assemble natural products similar to industrial assembly lines. Certain enzymes, non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) play a key role in this process. Biotechnologists at Goethe University have now been able to discover how these enzymes interact with each other. This brings them one step closer to their goal of engineering the production of such peptide natural products.

The Ion Rocket from Biochromato visualizes hidden compounds in samples. The device generates a temperature gradient from ambient up to as high as 600°C over several minutes. This allows compounds in samples to be sublimated, vaporized, or pyrolized according to their volatility, and then introduced into the DART gas stream.

Chemical engineering researchers have developed a new catalyst that significantly increases yield in styrene manufacturing, while simultaneously reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

About half a year before the start of Analytica Vietnam, the trade fair for laboratory technology, analysis, biotechnology and diagnostics in Ho Chi Minh City is in greater demand than ever before, the organizers announce. By the end of October, about 60 % more exhibitors than in the same period of 2016 have registered for the spin-off of Analytica in Munich, which will take place from April 03 to 05, 2019, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (Secc).

The UK-based specialists in DNA and RNA analysis, PCR Biosystems, have launched a range of Iso Fast Bst Polymerase reagents for rapid, robust and sensitive DNA and RNA amplification.

Researchers from Itmo University and St. Petersburg Academic University developed a new technology for marking authentic goods. Manufacturers will be able to label electronics, drugs, jewelry, and other products with invisible images that can only be seen with special equipment.
