  1. Bruker has joined the EU-funded PANACEA project, which is working to facilitate the use of solid-state NMR spectroscopy by non-expert users. The aim is to broaden the opportunities for novel chemistry applications by bringing together the necessary instrumentation, research infrastructures and chemical expertise (1). 
  2. Waters Corp recently released its new BioAccord System with ACQUITY Premier – a high-resolution LC-MS capable of multi-attribute monitoring of biotherapeutics (2). 
  3. Evotec has entered a collaboration with Biognosys in the hope of accelerating drug discovery and development. The partnership will use Biognosys’ data analysis software for data-independent MS-based proteomics as well as its unique workflow for MS facility management (3). 
  4. SCIEX has released the BioPhase 8800 capillary electrophoresis system for biologics analysis – the only multi-capillary CE-SDS system on the market that processes eight samples simultaneously (4). 
  5. Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the world’s first net zero mass spectrometer, the Delta Q Isotope Ratio MS. As well as improved specifications, the gas IRMS instrument’s carbon footprint will be neutralized through “IsoFootprint” – an initiative that permanently removes CO₂ emissions associated with the manufacture and supply chain of all new inorganic IRMS products (5).

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.
