‘Drug Toxicity’
A Laboratorytalk guide
Start with the news release
LGC displays reference materials at Analytica from
LGC, which we summarised at the time by saying "LGC Standards will be exhibiting at Analytica 2010 in Munich, in hall A2, booth 107. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Partnership to develop small-molecule inhibitors from
Cancer Research UK: "Cancer Research Technology (CRT) has announced an exclusive agreement with Cephalon, an international biotechnology company, to collaborate on the development of small-molecule inhibitors.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from Quantachrome Instruments
- take a look at Autosorb-IQ ideal for porous material development
which says: "Quantachrome has launched the Autosorb-IQ, an automated gas sorption analyser for surface area and pore size analysis, plus options for use with vapours and chemisorption.".
Take a look also at the news release from Sigma-Aldrich, Sigma-Aldrich distributes small molecule compounds,
as well as Taylor provides rapid pharmacokinetic studies from Taylor Technology,
and Bridge4bio fast tracks business growth from Bridge4Bio.
