Live cell-imaging incubators are designed to perform in vitro cellular imaging experiments imitating in vivo environmental conditions. They typically integrate an inverted microscope into an incubator, for which a variety of parameters, such as temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide/oxygen concentrations, can be controlled. The imaging technology utilized varies and determines each unit’s applications and capabilities. […]
Subvisible particles are a concern in the biopharmaceutical industry due to their possible correlation with immunogenicity. The impact of subvisible particles on biologics is unknown but potentially adverse, and is complicated by the lack of technologies that can adequately measure them. Subvisible particles are usually defined as those that are too big for analysis with […]

In September, Avantor Performance Materials opened an electronics laboratory in Chupei City, Taiwan. In October, RURO partnered with Angelantoni Industrie to integrate their respective FreezerPro software and Smart Freezer line of ultra-low temperature robotic freezers. […]
Osmometers are designed to measure the osmolality of a solution. They measure changes in a solution’s colligative properties, such as freezing and boiling point, vapor pressure and osmotic pressure, which are proportional to the concentration of solute present. As particles are introduced into a solvent, freezing point and vapor pressure are lowered, but boiling point […]
