The market for high-throughput and multiplex immunoassay systems consists of a variety of proprietary technologies that miniaturize and automate ELISA-based assays. These systems have become important tools in research and bioprocessing applications. Over the past decade, their use has increased, particularly in the areas of biomarker discovery and development, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and bioprocessing. Nonetheless, there […]
The production of light is achieved in two primary ways. Incandescent objects give off light due to their high temperature. If temperature is not involved, the production of light is known as luminescence. Luminescence itself can come about in different ways, but in the lab, one of the primary phenomena of interest is chemiluminescence, the […]
Biosensors have been used for many years to identify a wide array of analytes, but instrument size has long impeded their portability. However, over the past decade, many research groups have invested a great deal of resources into miniaturizing the technology. The resulting products have recently become available on the market, targeting applications such as […]
The Market Profile that appeared in the April 15 issue of IBO was incorrect. We regret the error. Below please find the corrected version. Advanced moisture analyzers measure moisture content in solids, liquids or gasses. These systems employ capacitance, NIR, automated Karl Fischer titration (KFT) or other techniques to obtain more precise and quicker measurements […]
Advanced moisture analyzers measure moisture content in solids, liquids or gases. These systems employ capacitance, IR, automated Karl Fischer titrations (KFTs) or other techniques to obtain more precise and quicker measurements compared with the loss-on-drying method (LOD), in which a sample’s mass is compared before and after it is fully dried using an autoclave or […]
A wide variety of technologies on the market allow scientists to image cells and tissues in 3-D. However, common techniques such as wide-field or confocal microscopy are often challenged by a certain degree of inefficiencies, photobleaching and photodamage to living tissues and cells, particularly when examining cells over long periods. Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), […]
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has existed for nearly as long as the laser itself, with the first systems developed in the 1960s. It has been a fairly rare and marginal technique, but is undergoing a bit of a renaissance as its understanding and acceptance, and laser technology have advanced. The mechanism underlying LIBS uses […]
The use of 3-D cell culture technologies has grown in popularity for cell research, particularly for applications in cancer research and therapy, cell interactions, high-throughput screening and tissue engineering. In contrast to 2-D cell cultures, which are typically performed in petri dishes, 3-D cell cultures generally employ a scaffold or extracellular matrix (ECM), where cells […]
Reaction calorimetry is a subtechnique of calorimetry that is associated with determining the heat produced by specific reactions under study. These reactions can be traditional chemical reactions or other processes that have thermodynamic properties, such as phase changes. Calorimeters give information on the total amount of heat, as well as the rate and kinetics of […]
Lab reactors are generally used to optimize or reproduce large-scale chemical reactions at the lab bench. While simple, manual units make up the majority of the market, advanced systems equipped with sensors that control temperature, pH and pressure have become a more significant part of the market. Controlled lab reactors (CLR) typically employ a glass […]
