Company Announcements Techcomp announced in January that it is the exclusive distributor of Scientific Analysis Instruments’ MiniSIMS (secondary ion MS) in China, including Hong Kong. FEI entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement in January with the NIH, creating a “Living Lab Structural Biology Center” to promote structural biology research through the integration of […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Elvatech introduced the ElvaX Mobile portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument. It is controlled by a PDA and is currently shipping. PG Instruments released a new version of its most recent atomic absorption system, the AA500, which was released in mid-2011. The new version includes an embedded PC. The AA flame can run on […]
Atomic Spectroscopy LECO introduced new configurations for its latest generation of inorganic and organic elemental analysis systems. Late last year, sulfur and oxygen analyzers were released for the CHN628 analyzer. Each option has a price of about $8,000 to $10,000. In May, a sulfur option will become available for the TruMac series at an additional […]
Transfection is the process of introducing foreign material, such as DNA fragments, into a host cell. Microinjection and optical transfection, which is also known as laser-assisted photoporation or optoporation, are two specialized mechanical transfection techniques designed to be used with a wide array of cell types. Although similar in concept, microinjection uses a specialized pipette […]
Company Announcements Nikon partnered with the Instituto Italiano di Tecnologia for the study and development of new methods in super-resolution fluorescence optical microscopy for oncology and neurodegenerative diseases. Leica Microsystems entered into an agreement in November 2011 with the Max Planck Society and the German Cancer Research Center to develop gated super-resolution simulated emission depletion […]
Surface science encompasses a number of technology platforms that can broadly be termed microscopes; they provide imaging and analysis of microscopic features of samples. Market demand reached $5 billion in 2011, and sales growth for the coming year is forecast at 6.7% for the surface science sector. The largest individual technology segment is optical microscopy, […]
In its broadest sense, correlative microscopy refers to the combination of multiple microscopy techniques to observe the same structure or event. Recent announcements by two major microscopy providers suggest that correlative microscopy will be a focus of their businesses in coming years. Although correlative microscopy can take many forms, the use of light microscopy (LM) […]
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. […]
Company Announcements In September, TESCAN USA opened an applications and demonstrations lab in Pleasanton, California, for customers in the Western Region of North America. FEI in September partnered with Oregon Health & Science University to create the Living Lab for Cell Biology, run by Joe Gray, PhD, to advance cancer research and next-generation research tools […]
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 […]
