Accela - Breakthrough technology to increase laboratory productivity by Thermo Fisher
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced two new solvent delivery systems-Accela 600 HPLC and Accela 1000 U-HPLC. These enable rapid method development, reduce solvent consumption and consequently, enhance laboratory efficiency. These Accela systems' Force Feedback Control (FFC) features render accurate and precise gradients under all operating conditions and flexibility to quaternary solvent delivery.</p> <p...
Striped Nanoparticles Improve Drug Delivery System
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created the first fully synthetic nanoparticles that can penetrate a cell membrane without rupturing the protective membrane and thereby killing it.</p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Francesco Stellacci, associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Darrell Irvine, the Eugene Bell Career Development Associate...
New Technology to monitor crystal formation
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Researchers at the University of Leeds have come up with a technology that could help the pharmaceutical industry in controlling crystal formation during the process of drug development.</p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pharmaceuticals often come in the crystalline forms and undetected fluctuations in the system can alter the crystal structure which is not desired by the pharmaceutical manufacturers. Any ch...
Nested Nanoparticles Make Drug Delivery More Effective
<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Researchers at the University of Texas have come up with a matryoshka doll filled with drugs that might end up to be the missing link that would help the nanoparticles to fulfill their potential.</p> <p style=\"text-align:justify\">The nanoparticles in such a nested form is believed to produce a more targeted treatment that can bypass the immune defences which have hindered other nanotechnology therapies. These im...
Device to Control Gene Activity Produced
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Researchers at the Rockefeller University, United States have come up with a device which enables the control of gene activity during cell multiplication. According to them, the technology, enabling the comparison of gene activities from one cell to another would be important in the construction of pedigrees. It would also help in understanding the interaction of genes and proteins in driving cellular functions.<...
Biochip to simplify drug development safety studies
<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., the University of California, Berkeley, and Solidus Biosciences, Inc. have come up with a biochip technology that would accelerate the drug development safety studies with a simultaneous reduction in the need for animal testing during early experiments. Animal tests have been traditionally used to detect the drug toxicity. However such tests are not alw...
ProteoTuner systems to directly investigate protein levels
<p>Clontech has developed the new ProteoTuner™ systems based on a technology developed by Dr. Thomas Wandless and colleagues at Stanford University. This is aimed to enable the direct investigation of a protein’s function(s), a key focus in discovery-based cell biology research, through direct manipulation of the protein’s levels in vivo. The range of ProteoTuner systems constitutes the ProteoTuner IRES2 System, the Retro-X&trad...
Air-Cooled Peltier Accessories for Accurate Temperature Control
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many pharmaceutical and life science assays require accurate and constant temperature control in order to acquire meaningful data. Moreover, kinetic measurements are extremely susceptible to variations in temperature, especially over long measurements. In order to provide accurate and precise temperature control, many researchers have discovered that Peltier-based devices provide a low maintenance, cost-effective...
New SmartPill to Diagnose Gastroparesis
<p style=\"text-align:justify\">SmartPill Corporation, the developer of capsule-based medical devices, has launched its SmartPill pH.p Capsule and the SmartPill GI (Gastro Intestinal) Monitoring System, a first-of-its-kind, in-office method for assessing gastric motility index. SmartPill is used in diagnosing patients with GI motility disorder and delayed gastric emptying, a condition also known as gastroparesis. In addition, it comes as the firs...
Mass Spectrometry Platform Combines Triple Quadrupole with MALDI
<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Applied Biosystems and Sciex have commercialised a first-of-its-kind mass spectrometry platform, the FlashQuant™ designed to help pharmaceutical companies speed up the drug compound screening process. This platform is expected to be the first commercially available system to combine industry-standard triple quadrupole mass spectrometry with the MALDI technology.</p> <p style=\"text-align:justify\">MALDI is a...
