New Solvent Free Parasite Faecal Concentration System
An advanced sample centrifugal preparation filtration removing the need for solvents has been developed. The array enables laboratories to prepare for parasitic examination in a rapid enclosed system with only the use of Formalin and emulsification reagents. The device is delivered with ready to use preloaded and all that is required is Faecal sample addition and a short centrifugal step to separate the parasites from the stool sample.
The procedure is performed in under five minutes and is ready for microscopic examination directly. A prominent Consultant Parasitologist, said: “The New Parasep SF is a true breakthrough in the field of parasite diagnosis.” Having developed the device, Diasys Ltd asked the Consultant to trial the product – with excellent results - a separate paper can be viewed on the subject online.

Mapping Pain Pathways in the CNS
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) distributes the highly informative newsletter, DECODED. In this quarter’s edition the work carried out by Dr Philippe Sarret and colleagues is discussed in detail.
Sarret’s laboratory is based at the Université de Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, where researchers are investigating novel ways to develop analgesics and are the first to attempt RNA interference (RNAi) via direct in vivo targeting of genes expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). Using IDT’s Dicer-substrate RNAs (DsiRNAs), the team is specifically targeting pain-modulating pathways such as that mediated by the nueropeptide, neurotensin.
DsiRNAs have increased potency compared to traditional small interfering RNAs, achieving sustained knockdown at sub- nanomolar concentrations. Full details of this research can be found by downloading the latest edition of IDT’s DECODED newsletter, which also provides technology overviews, interviews, and procedural recommendations relating to oligonucleotides and their applications.

Rheology Expert Contributes to Nutraceuticals Handbook
Dr Samiul Amin, Strategic Technology Group Manager at Malvern Instruments, has collaborated with Dr Krassimir P. Velikov from Unilever R&D Vlaardingen, to provide a chapter examining the ‘Rheology of Complex Fluids Containing Nutraceuticals’, in a recently published book for industry professionals. The Handbook of Nutraceuticals Vol 2: Scale-up Processing and Automation, which was launched in May 2011 is now available on-line as an e book.
“I was very pleased to be asked to contribute to this new book and it’s great to have access to the finished product after the many months of hard work that have gone into it,” said Dr Amin. “The rheology of complex fluids is an area of personal interest for me and is one in which Malvern is heavily involved, with the Kinexus rheometer particularly suited to a wide variety of applications in the field.”
Samiul Amin is a member of the both the Society of Rheology and the British Society of Rheology, and serves on the Royal Society of Chemistry/Society of Chemical Industry joint colloid committee. He is a chemical engineer by background with postdoctoral research experience at the highly regarded University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His area of specialisation is the rheology and microstructure of complex and nanostructured fluids.

Easy Component Insertion Without the Risk of Repetitive Strain
BioPure is pleased to announce the launch of the Bio Tube Applicator, a pneumatically operated machine allowing users to insert components into tubing easily without the requirement for lubricant such as isopropyl alcohol.
Removing the need for manual application of tubing, the Bio Tube Applicator provides a repeatable process and can help reduce repetitive strain injury.
The Bio Tube Applicator can accommodate small bore barbs, up to 30” capsule filters and various types of tubing such as silicone and thermoplastic, including braided or non braided variants.
The CE certified Bio Tube Applicator can offer compatibility with a wide range of fittings and tubing, a repeatable process, reduced risk of repetitive strain injury, the removal of any form of lubricant and a potential to improve efficiency.
