‘Reverse Osmosis’

A Laboratorytalk guide

Start with the news release Imaging technique supports tablet troubleshooting from Malvern Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "An application note has been published showing that Malvern's near-infrared chemical imaging supports reverse engineering of pharmaceutical tablets for troubleshooting product failures. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Cold-PCR technology detects tumour mutations from Transgenomic: "Transgenomic has validated the use of its licensed Cold-PCR technology to detect colorectal tumour-associated KRAS mutations that determine efficacy of recently developed therapies. ".

In February 2010, we covered the news from Integrated DNA Technologies - take a look at IDT expands qPCR range for screening applications which says: "Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has added additional flexibility to its Primetime qPCR product offering.".

Take a look also at the news release from Metrohm, Analyser determines TOC level in process water, as well as Metrohm offers TOC-measurement tool from Metrohm, and Affinityscript performs one-step RT-PCR from Agilent Technologies.
