Latest news from analytical laboratory, environment, chemistry, life sciences and quality control

• Using X-rays to identify liquid chiral molecules
  Sugars, amino acids, drugs - chiral molecules are everywhere. Researchers in the AQUACHIRAL project at the Fritz-Haber-Institut have used X-rays to study hair-thin liquid jets of these molecules. U...

• High-efficiency glucose fuel cell for medical implants and sensors
  Glucose is the sugar we absorb from the foods we eat. It is the fuel that powers every cell in our bodies. Could glucose also power tomorrow's medical implants? Engineers at MIT and the Technica...

• A novel binding mechanism between small and giagantic particles
  Researchers at the 5th Physical Institute of the University of Stuttgart have verified a novel binding mechanism forming a molecule between a tiny charged particle and in atomic measures gigantic R...

• New hope for broad spectrum viral entry inhibitors
  A large number of viruses are known to make life difficult for both humans and animals. While broad-spectrum antibiotics can offer protection against a wide variety of bacteria, there are currently...

• Heavy metal pollution in rivers can increase antibiotic resistance
  Research by Newcastle University and the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi quantified antibiotic and metal resistance in sediments from the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers in India and streams in the ...

Technical Papers for Analytical Laboratories

• A Low Oxygen Atmosphere Supports the Xeno-Free Generation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
  We previously demonstrated that using low oxygen tension increased the efficiency of reprogramming human somatic cells to pluripotency. In this study, we extend our findings and further increased the development of this culture paradigm. We are able to observe that post-electroporated fibroblasts...

• Optimizing Plasmid Yields in Shake Culture
  Recombinant plasmid DNA is produced in bacterial cultures, mostly in E. coli. Plasmid yield and quality depend on multiple factors, including the insert, the selection of host strain, the vector design, and the methodology chosen for cultivation and downstream purification. Here, we focus on how ...

• Plastic determination using fluorescence spectroscopy
  Whether soft drinks, lemonade or sparkling water - PET bottles are used for beverages all over the world. PET stands for "polyethylene terephthalate" and is one of the synthetic polymers commonly known as plastic. Every year, several million tons of polymers are released into the environment. ...
