Chromatographic analysis is often an indispensable technique for a life scientist. The gadgetry and the skills required, for the successful application of such techniques, are less so common. Having spent the summer months of 2017, working for the Bio Analysis Centre, I have been a very keen observer of the company’s modus operandi. I have […]
As the global population continues to grow exponentially the demand for food becomes ever more pressing. In order to supply this mounting demand, the world’s crop production must increase through optimised methods, fertilisers, agrochemicals and pesticides. Nonetheless, with strict regulations regarding contaminants including pesticides, mycotoxins and heavy metals the manufacturing of food and drinks must […]
Analytical scientists utilise a range of sample preparation tools to aid their method development, how they approach this challenge can significantly impact their success. Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is a type of sample preparation technology that uses solid particle and chromatographic packing material to chemically separate the different components of a sample. Samples are usually in […]
Back in September, Imogen Lovera from the Bio-Analysis Centre attended a symposium asking the question, what can animals teach us about the biology of cancer? She wrote about what she discovered. The second Oncology Special Interest Group Symposium “Comparative Oncology: The Next Frontier?” was held at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) Camden Campus in London on Tuesday […]
