Veredus Laboratories, a leading supplier of innovative molecular diagnostic tools, has launched VereMTBTM, a multiplexed molecular diagnostic chip capable of fast and accurate detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex (MTBC) and its mutations, as well as 9 other clinically relevant non-tubercular mycobacterium.
The Norwegian company SpinChip aims to help doctors analyse patients’ blood samples on the spot and provide immediate results.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed an ultrasensitive method for detecting sugar molecules – or glycans – coming from living organisms, a breakthrough that will make possible a more detailed understanding of cellular functions than either genetic or proteomic (the study of proteins) information can provide. The researchers hope the new technique will revolutionize the study of glycans, which has been hampered by an inability to easily detect and identify minute quantities of these molecules.
From the 80 million European runners, more than 37 million have suffered a running injury during sport practice in the last year. The Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia (IBV) is working on the design of a new running shoe that integrates a measuring device that will provide training control and prevent injuries during running.
Materials characterization company Malvern Panalytical. (Malvern Panalytical, UK) has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Affinity Biosensors LLC (Santa Barbara, CA, USA) which will extend the range of solutions that Malvern Panalytical offers to the biopharmaceutical sector. The distribution agreement covers all geographies outside the USA and Canada.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new book "Printed films: Materials science and applications in sensors, electronics and photonics" to their offering.
Silicon is the workhorse of the electronics industry, serving as the base material for the tiny transistors that make it possible for digital clocks to tick and computers to calculate.
One Mind for Research and Guardian Angels For Smarter Life (GA) announced an alliance to design a new tool for the treatment of major brain diseases: micro devices that use nanotechnology monitor and transmit biological signals.
Plessey will be launching a hand held, ECG monitor at this year's Electronica Show. Aimed at the home health market, the imPulse™ will allow the routine, quick and accurate recording of ECG signal outside of the medical environment and without the need for conductive gel or skin preparation.
Biochemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have discovered a genetic sequence that can alter its host gene's activity in response to cellular energy levels. The scientists have found this particular energy-sensing switch in bacterial genes, which could make it a target for a powerful new class of antibiotics. If similar energy-sensing switches are also identified for human genes, they may be useful for treating metabolism-related disorders such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
