Sample prep is a curious and difficult task. It is not always easy to choose the right equipment, accessories and workflows since everything depends on the sample to prepare and homogenize. Homogenization of tough samples, such as bones, is even more complicated. The biggest challenge when working with such tissues is efficient sample processing. The […]

Bioaerosols consist of airborne particles that may contain or come from living organisms. The composition and concentration of bioaerosols in the air are critical parameters to consider for the welfare of animals and humans. From healthcare facilities to the food industry, among many other work spaces, the monitoring of bioaerosols and the efficiency of their decontamination […]

Independent assessment of the dose rate is essential to prevent or mitigate incidents in nuclear facilities and protect the population and the environment. For such measurements, a sustainable and fast-response measurement system with the possibility of remote control is required. In case of use, it must be possible to transport the measuring instruments around the […]

The analysis of nail clippings is a great alternative to hair analysis. They provide up to 6 months of drug usage history and are easily collected for testing. A proper sample preparation protocol is critical for drug analysis workflows. The quality and reproducibility of the drug extraction can strongly influence the results. The 3D-beating technology […]

Mycology is a science that focuses on the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties and the effects they might have on humans. Fungi can form numerous structures, including mold.  Molds are microscopic fungi found in different environments: air, soil, plants, animals, and humans. They are associated with a high level of moisture. […]

The experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model is frequently used to identify new drug targets for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), due to its similar immunological and clinical features. While there are several different disease courses of MS, EAE models can reflect some of the different clinical manifestations. For instance, MOG-induced EAE in C57BL/6J mice […]

20-Hydroxyecdysone (20-HE) is known as the insect moulting hormone. It is part of the ecdysteroids family. Combined with the juvenile hormone (JH), 20-HE plays a key role in the growth, development, metamorphosis, and reproduction of arthropods (i.e. invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, arachnids, etc.). Little is known about the function of ecdysteroids in vertebrates. There […]
