Detecting and analysing the presence of micro-organisms is hugely important within biological applications. This is necessary to ensure the safety of public health; to track and develop antimicrobial resistance; and…
Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of individual techniques of particle analysis is a critical element in the analysis of particular powders’ particle sizes. It is important to understand the advantages…
Compound microscopy paved the way for biologists to uncover a microscopic world occupied by miniscule living organisms. But there are limitations to the optical resolving power of visible light. Illuminating…
Raman Spectroscopy is a useful tool in the molecular characterisation of materials, due to its intrinsically high molecular specificity; zero/little required sample preparation and flexible sample configurations. There are a…
We have a busy year ahead with conferences and the first of these will be at the end of next month (April 27th) for the London Polymer Group meeting. (link takes you…
Later this month (19th October), we're pleased to be back at the MiBio event in Cambridge after the COVID gap. This year's topic is "Stability of biopharmaceuticals - From molecular…
The previous article addressed the importance of thermal management in batteries and how thermal conductivity measurements can be utilised to ensure that the materials used are optimal. As well as…
Redox (reduction-oxidation) chemical reactions take place in electrochemical cells; they include the transfer of electrons. Each cell stores and transforms chemical energy into electrical energy. They consist of an anode,…
The Advanced Materials Show will be hosted this year at the NEC, Birmingham on the 29th - 30th June. Merrow Scientific will be exhibiting at stall 18- 513. On the stand…
Cell image analysis software is becoming increasingly popular in biochemistry applications, coupling with many imaging techniques such as fluorescence and electron microscopy to eliminate common sources of error or unreliability.…
