Newcells Biotech, a drug discovery partner specialising in the development of in vitro models and bespoke assay services to improve the prediction of in vivo human outcomes, has announced the launch of its proprietary CiliaBeat software and application in a Lung Ciliary Beat Frequency Analysis assay.

Newcells’ CillaBeat will enable researchers to assess the effect of drugs and chemicals on the function of the ciliated cells within the lung small airways. The Lung Ciliary Beat Frequency Analysis assay will generate reliable and predictive in vitro data on the activity of the beating cilia within the airways. These services will inform discovery and development for new drugs targeting lung conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD), bronchiectasis, as well as the impact of airborne chemicals.

Nikon Europe is pleased to announce the opening of three Nikon BioImaging Lab sites in Europe. The new NBIL sites, located at BioLabs Heidelberg in Germany, iCITY Basel in Switzerland and Babraham Research Campus Cambridge in the UK, are an expansion of the NBIL Europe main hub located at Leiden BioScience Park in the Netherlands.All establishments have been designed with life sciences researchers in mind and offer flexible spaces for biotech companies, big and small, making them perfect locations to partner with Nikon on this expansion. The new NBILs are the latest additions to a growing global network that include Cambridge, Massachusetts, US; Lexington, Massachusetts, US; and Japan. NBILs provide services for assay development as well as microscope-based imaging and analysis.

The life sciences group Sartorius is launching Vivaflow SU, setting a new standard for laboratory-dedicated tangential flow filtration (TFF). Designed for enhanced ease of use and flexibility, Vivaflow SU ensures more efficient and sustainable ultrafiltration and diafiltration processes for feed volumes ranging from 100 to 1,000mL.

• Enhanced ease-of-use for fast and intuitive setup right out of the box
• All-in-one design can be operated with a standard laboratory pump
• Advanced flow path delivers speed without tedious process optimisation
• Extended membrane range in single-use format improves molecule recovery and integrity
• Responsibly made with 30.5% less plastic and more recyclable packaging.

Liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM) enables the observation of time-resolved dynamics of a sample in liquid state as a function of stimuli, such as heat, potential and flow, at higher spatial resolution. The technique has become increasingly popular, contributing greatly to a wide range of fields, including materials science, energy and life science. The DENSsolutions Stream Infinity solution is an enhanced version of Stream, designed to truly advance and expand your research capabilities. Uniquely, the innovative solution features a new pioneering 8-contact environmental TEM holder that allows you to perform electrochemistry as a function of temperature in liquid environments. The core of the Stream Infinity system is our patented Nano-Cell (NC), which consists of a functional and seal chip – together forming a leak-tight compartment that enables you to safely perform liquid experiments inside the electron microscope.
