Materials testing specialist Stable Micro Systems has launched a texture analysis device which promises to increase productivity and improve cost-effectiveness where higher volume, repetitive quality testing is required.
German BioMicroscopy supplier ibidi GmbH has launched a range of "Lab-on-a-Slide" micro-slides (µ-Slides) that can be used for cell analysis and biomolecules. The slides allow cell culturing and high-resolution microscopy to be performed on the same slide for cell-based assay procedures in research and high throughput applications.
Applied Biosystems launches the latest addition to its API family of triple quadrupole analysers that aims to add to the sensitivity and accuracy of mass spectrometry for small molecule quantification, essential for DMPK and ADMET studies.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given clearance to a new product, which simplifies the process, offers improved specificity and decreases the time to result in the identification of methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA) identification.
Tracking the harmful foodborne pathogen Listeria in the food chain, UK firm Oxoid has designed a new broth that could accelerate detection time for the food industry.
Microfluidics company Nanostream has introduced a new range of cartridges designed specifically for quantitative applications such as solubility assessment and dissolution testing using its micro parallel liquid chromatography (mPLC) system.
Thermo Electron has launched a new FT-IR spectrometer specifically targeted at quality control and assurance laboratories in the pharmaceutical, chemical and polymer industries.
New techniques to minimise the risk of the harmful food pathogen E. coli in the food chain sees the launch of rapid detection system that could speed up identification and reduce costs for the meat industry.
A hive of activity at Agilent Technologies has trnsformed the company into a significant player in the competitive microarray platform market with the expansion of its array-based genomics, disease research and drug R&D applications.
Markos Kyprianou, the new Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection in Brussels, will continue in his predecessor David Byrne's foodsteps, pushing to maintain high levels of food safety in the EU.
Stopping the distribution of contaminated foods from the farm to the fork is a ceaseless challenge for the food industry that relies heavily on technology to identify any anomalies.
NextGen Sciences has licensed a new technology for protein expression from Oxford Brookes University that reduces expression timelines for proteins in insect cells by up to 10 days.
An improvement in the quality of flour ingredients is the focus of new research by US government scientists who are taking a closer look at hundreds of different proteins in the wheat kernels.
Researchers in the US have developed a fluorescent tag for proteins - based on a fragment of green fluorescent protein (GFP) - that can penetrate cells and so be used to detect proteins in living cells and cell lysates.
Informatics company Tripos has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Optive Research, which develops software for computer-assisted molecular discovery.
