Microliter spectrophotometry is a technique used to measure extremely small sample sizes, but its market potential is anything but small. Recent activity in the market has reflected both large and small companies’ recognition of the prospects of microliter spectrophotometry. In October, Thermo Fisher Scientific acquired NanoDrop (see IBO 10/15/07), the market leader. Next year, GE […]
This year’s product safety controversies have affected manufacturers, regulators, consumers and laboratories alike. Manufacturers have increased product testing, while new regulatory efforts, by both governments and industry, have renewed calls for reform and scrutiny of the current system in multiple countries. Although it is too early to ascertain the exact effect of these efforts on […]
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is considered one of the “big guns” of the analytical instrument industry, with annual sales rapidly approaching the $1 billion mark. While one may be impressed by the sheer size of NMR systems with high-strength magnets, the probe, which provides the means to interface the sample with the instrument, is an […]
The metabolome is the full set of metabolites—the chemical fingerprints left behind by cellular processes—in an organism. The pharmaceutical industry is particularly interested in the potential of metabolomics research, because metabolites can serve as biomarkers for disease states and drug efficacy, and they can reveal toxicity during the drug discovery process. Metabolomics offers instrument manufacturers […]
