  • Bruker has installed the world’s most powerful commercial nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer at the University of Florence’s CERM research center. The 1.2 GHz NMR has a new magnet design that combines high- and low-temperature superconductors. CERM will use the NMR to study the structure and function of proteins, including those of SARS-CoV-2 (1).

  • The FDA has provided Emergency Use Authorization to EUROIMMUN’s (a PerkinElmer Company) Anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG) serology test; specific clinical laboratories will be able to use the ELISA test immediately for COVID-19 testing (2).
  • In a bid to support global COVID-19 research, Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced it will provide 50 Ion Torrent Genexus Systems at a reduced price for research consortia and industry groups focused on mapping coronavirus spread and epidemiology (3).
  • Renishaw has launched a new Raman system for forensic analysis: the inVia InSpect confocal microscope. Optimized for trace evidence analysis, it can be used to analyze samples that cannot be examined fully using other techniques, or to obtain more detailed chemical information (4).
  • The US Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, has selected JEOL AccuTOF-DART mass spectrometers for five of its labs; the instruments provide a non-destructive, rapid method for analyzing forensic samples in real time, enhancing the current capabilities of the federal labs.

About the Author(s)

Lauren Robertson

By the time I finished my degree in Microbiology I had come to one conclusion – I did not want to work in a lab. Instead, I decided to move to the south of Spain to teach English. After two brilliant years, I realized that I missed science, and what I really enjoyed was communicating scientific ideas – whether that be to four-year-olds or mature professionals. On returning to England I landed a role in science writing and found it combined my passions perfectly. Now at Texere, I get to hone these skills every day by writing about the latest research in an exciting, creative way.
