FDA Issues First Emergency Use Authorization for Point-of-Care Covid-19 Diagnostic Kumar Jeetendra | March 24, 2020 FDA has given the primary crisis use approval for a state of-care covid-19 demonstrative. The approval was given for the Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 test from Cepheid, Sunnyvale, Calif. “The test we’re authorizing today will be able to provide Americans with results within hours, rather than days like the existing tests, and the company plans to …
Fast & Effective Removal of Interfering Proteins Kumar Jeetendra | March 18, 2020 Incorporating a novel dual hydrophobically treated matrix filter, Microlute™ Protein Precipitation Plate from Porvair Sciences set a new standard for labs looking to remove interfering proteins from serum, plasma or even whole blood samples prior to analysis by Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS). Biological samples commonly contain proteins that interfere with downstream applications such …
Quantitative Elemental Analysis in Research Labs Kumar Jeetendra | March 12, 2020 Workflow description- Pharmaceutical research and development laboratories typically have just a very small amount of each active ingredient they are investigating, often no more than 50–100 mg. As there are many different analyses to be carried out, each substance must be used sparingly. For quantitative organic elemental analysis, accurate weighing of samples is a prerequisite …
Biovis PSA 2000 for Particle Size and Shape analysis Kumar Jeetendra | March 12, 2020 Particle size and shape analysis has always been an important evaluation criterion in many critical applications ranging from Ink, Paint research to industrial production. Particle size and shape can affect the physical and chemical properties of a substance such as its solubility, reaction, strength, etc. Particle analysis is used by researchers to understand the nature …
The benefits of investing in powder testing equipment Kumar Jeetendra | March 8, 2020 The concepts of return on investment (ROI) and payback time are second nature to practicing engineers but that doesn’t mean that the associated calculations are always straight forward. When it comes to assessing analytical equipment then the upfront costs can be relatively easy to determine, but the potential return is significantly more difficult. Powder testing …
Comprehensive Characterisation by Field-Flow Fractionation Kumar Jeetendra | February 25, 2020 At this year’s Analytica exhibition, Postnova Analytics will present its unmatched line-up of high-performance field-flow fractionation instruments, detectors and ground breaking applications data. At the Messe München Conference Centre / Stand A1.322, visitors will be able to see live demonstrations of new NovaAnalysis software, the pioneering EAF2000 Electrical Asymmetrical Field-Flow Fractionation system and meet the …
UV Detector for High Temperature Applications Kumar Jeetendra | February 24, 2020 Testa Analytical Solutions e.K reports on its development of a unique high temperature UV detector for a leading European polymer research centre. The new high temperature UV detector is being used as part of a temperature-dependent size exclusion chromatography (TD-SEC) system to provide insights into reaction processes that were not accessible with previous methods. By …
Secure Sealing of SBS Format Tube Racks b Ziath Kumar Jeetendra | February 19, 2020 Ziath has announced the launch of impressiOn – a versatile new semi-automatic device designed to take the strain out of applying friction sealing mats or septum sealing caps to SBS format tube racks. Tube racks are a valuable tool in life science research and clinical diagnostic testing laboratories as they can be used to simplify …
Cipla Foundation sets up a dedicated state-of-the-art chemistry laboratory at IISER Pune Kumar Jeetendra | January 29, 2020 Pune, January 29th, 2020: In continuance of its efforts to advance quality education and promote industry-academia collaboration, Cipla Foundation, the social responsibility arm of Cipla Ltd, has funded the set-up of a world class chemistry research laboratory at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune. The lab aims to provide practical training …
Improved Sustainability for Chemistry Laboratories Kumar Jeetendra | January 28, 2020 Asynt reports on how chemistry labs, seeking to minimise water wastage, are electing to replace Liebig-style water condensers with their CondenSyn waterless air condenser, for both reflux and distillation reactions. Synthetic experiments often include reflux and distillation steps, making a reflux condenser an essential tool for both research and teaching chemistry. Traditional condensers, cooled by …
Ultra-High-Resolution Particle Characterisation Kumar Jeetendra | January 27, 2020 Analytik has published a white paper that provides an informative introduction to particle size characterisation using the Differential Centrifugal Sedimentation (DCS) technique. Differential Centrifugal Sedimentation is an extremely powerful tool for high resolution particle characterisation, especially in the size range 0.002 micron (2nm) to 10 microns. It enables very narrow distributions of particles differing in …
White Paper Demonstrates Benefits of Electrical Asymmetrical Field Flow Fractionation Kumar Jeetendra | January 21, 2020 An informative white paper from Postnova Analytics demonstrates how its novel Electrical and Asymmetrical Field Flow Fractionation (EAF4) technology can be used to separate a wide variety of nano-sized materials while simultaneously determining surface charge. Drawing upon this proprietary technology, the Postnova Analytics EAF2000 is the only field-proven system that combines the principle of Electrical and Asymmetrical …
