Even with the rise of rapid microbiological methods, most environmental monitoring applications are undertaken using culture media, with many alternative methods also being growth-based. This makes the selection, control and release of culture media an area of great importance, given that the quality of the culture media underpins the environmental…
The alternative method uses epigenetic quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays and successfully detects a larger number of PIDs...
Researchers at the University Hospital of Salzburg's EB House Austria are using a Tecan Spark® multimode reader to investigate epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare inherited disease that causes the skin to become ‘as fragile as a butterfly’s wings’, blistering in response to friction or trauma...
The rapid ENDOZYME® II GO assay is the latest member of bioMérieux’s ENDONEXT™ range of endotoxin detection assays based on sustainable recombinant horseshoe crab Factor C (rFC). The new assay caters to two important needs: efficiency and consistency...
bioMérieux, a world leader in the field of industrial microbiological control, announces the launch of ENDOZYME® II GO, a new endotoxin test in the bioMérieux ENDONEXT™ range of recombinant horseshoe crab Factor C (rFC) assays.
Researchers have developed a highly specific apoptosis assay designed for immunofluorescence microscopy analysis of fixed core needle biopsy specimens...
Technique measuring the cccDNA marker may allow earlier detection of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients...
Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) users, compendial experts and regulators are still orienting themselves to the recombinant factor C (rFC) assay. Changes to compendial standards do not occur overnight and, for now, users willing to change must perform the alternative validation procedure USP .
A technique which allows the continuous production and collection of a cell has been developed removing the limit on the number of cells that can be grown in a culture dish...
At least some degree of solubility in water is necessary for active ingredients in pharmaceutical products to be effective in vivo. However, as efforts to discover and synthesise new active ingredients are pursued by industrial and academic medicinal chemists, achieving sufficient aqueous solubility can often be a significant limitation to…
This article covers how the EndoZyme II assay is established, optimised and validated using the SynergyTM HTX Multi-Mode Microplate Reader with Gen5TM software...
Tecan’s innovative Spark® multimode reader can now provide walkaway processing of up to 50 assay plates per run with the addition of the new Spark-Stack™ integrated microplate stacker...
By 2040, there will be over 1.2 million people living with dementia in England and Wales (an increase of 57% from 2016), due to increased life expectancy...
