Mologic has recently received funding from the UK Government to develop a test for Covid-19 which can generate results within minutes. For this purpose, the company has tied up with Dolomite Microfluidics in order to scale-up precision nanoparticles which are vital for this project.

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Nano Science and Technology led by Dr. Deepa Ghosh have developed ‘hemostat’, a starch-based material that is capable of stopping rapid blood loss during accidents.

Shimadzu has released the Nexera UC Prep, a Preparative Supercritical Fluid Chromatography system. It is part of Shimadzu’s Nexera UC platform and can be configured according to user specifications, for optimum performance of the desired purification function.

The work at the Cern research centre in Switzerland became widely known when the 2013 Nobel-prize-winning discovery of the Higgs boson completed the standard model of particle physics. What Pekkanen and thousands of other physicists at Cern do now, is explore phenomena that fall beyond the current understanding of the sub-atomic world.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has assessed the risks to public health from Listeria contamination of vegetables that are blanched — scalded in hot water or steam for a short time — before they are frozen. They conclude that the risks associated with the consumption of these products is lower than for ready-to-eat foods such as smoked fish, cooked meat, sausages, pâté, soft cheese.

Summer Arctic sea-ice is predicted to disappear before 2050, resulting in devastating consequences for the Arctic ecosystem. The efficacy of climate-protection measures will determine how often and for how long. These are the results of a new study involving 21 research institutes from around the world, including McGill University.

The new sensors from Anton Paar consists of instrumentation for density measurement, sound velocity measurement, and combined density and sound velocity measurement.

C. Gerhardt extends the product range of elemental analyzer with the Dumatherm CN.

Vitrocell has introduced the Cloud Alpha 96, which is designed for virus research, screening of inhaled drugs and toxicity testing of inhaled substances such as chemicals or nanoparticles

The University of Geneva’s (Unige) unique technique is capable of identifying an enhanced combination of anticancer drugs that are more effective than chemotherapy and at the same time also eliminate the possibility of any side effects.
