Diffractor Maintenance Tips

Diffractor Maintenance Tips

Assay and Screening, BioPharma, Laboratory Instrumentation
When you are using a diffractor on a regular basis, you want to ensure that you maintain it as well as you possibly can. Good, correct, and proper maintenance will ensure that your diffractor lasts your business or company for many years to come. However, where do you start with diffractor maintenance? What do you need to be looking out for, and what should you be focusing tour time on? Cooling Maintenance Always check the condition of the cooler. The X-ray tube heats up, and when it is operating, you want to be sure that it is not overheating.The ideal water-in temperature for X-ray tubes is 20-25 °C and up to 30°C in warm and humid conditions. It is best to always be above the dew point  An x-ray tube must always be properly cooled and, if it does not, you may well experien...

A laboratory information management system, or LIMS, is a software solution that helps manage and streamline a laboratory’s daily operations and workflow, whether it’s academic, clinical, pharmaceutical, or biotech-related. These systems were first developed in the 1980s to track and manage the movement of samples within laboratories. Since then, they have advanced exponentially and now encompass everything from sample and data management to data analysis and reporting.  As research and lab tech advances, LIMS technology must continually evolve to keep pace with the growing and changing needs of laboratories across the globe. From project management to sequence editing workflows and everything in between, LIMS technology is constantly expanding to include all aspects of laboratory ...

Personalised treatment Personalised medical treatment has matured to integrate into biopharmaceutical drug development pathways. This type of treatment targets patient/s with a specific drug that matches the specific disease physiopathology and/or patient characteristics e.g. genomic profile, and disease prevalence/severity. Personalised medicine has been generally developed in niche indications or conditions with high unmet need. Cell therapy, transplantation and the HLA matching Cell therapy uses cellular entities as prophylactic or therapeutic drugs/treatments. An ancestor of today’s cell therapy is transplanting hematopoietic stem cells to reset immune systems after intensive leukaemia chemotherapy. Treatment personalisation is essential to match the graft to the recipient(HLA match...

In Silicon Valley, Moore's law appears to remained on equivalent balance with the regular laws classified by Isaac Newton. Intel prime supporter Gordon Moore's notorious perception that registering power has a tendency to twofold — and that its value hence parts — like clockwork has held valid for about 50 years with just minor update. Yet as a model of quick transform, it is the focus of energetic ill-use from genome analysts. In many presentations over the past few years, researchers have contrasted the slant of Moore's law and the quickly dropping expenses of DNA sequencing. For some time they kept pace, however since something like 2007, it has not even been close. The cost of sequencing a normal human genome has plunged from about Us$10 million to a couple of thousand dollars in only...

Biotechnology can be defined as the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make useful products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives in order to make or modify products or processes for specific use.  However, contrary to its name biotechnology is not a single technology. Rather it is a group of technologies that share two (common) characteristics; working with living cells and their molecules and having a wide range of practice uses that can improve our lives. Traditional biotechnology has been practiced since the beginning of records history.  It has been used to enhance the agricultural production, to bake bread, brew alcoholic beverages, and breed food crops or domestic animals. Through early biotechnology, the ear...
