Clinical, Medical & Diagnostics Medical dyes to benefit fluorescence-guided surgery


Provepharm is advancing surgical precision with plans to launch two innovative dyes in 2026, supporting minimally invasive and fluorescence- guided robotic surgery. The move marks a strategic shift toward R&D-driven growth and cutting-edge visualisation solutions.


The company has partnered with Sagent Pharmaceuticals to distribute Bludigo® - an FDA-approved injectable indigo carmine - alongside its upcoming diagnostic dyes in the US, using Sagent’s market expertise and commercial reach. Internationally, Provepharm will roll out its new dyes through its global distributor network.


“Our goal is to create the most advanced range of surgical dyes by 2030,” said Hélène Thomas, Deputy CEO of


surgeons see more clearly during complex procedures, particularly in oncology. The company’s approach emphasises efficiency, precision, and patient safety, building on 25 years of expertise in high- quality medical dyes.


Provepharm. “We are combining our deep R&D expertise with next-generation fluorescence technology to deliver highly selective, reliable, and stable dyes for surgeons worldwide.”


Provepharm’s ‘Smart Dyes’ platform will focus on enhanced purity, stability, and visualisation performance, helping


The medical dye market is expanding rapidly, with demand fuelled by increasingly complex surgeries and widespread adoption of imaging and fluorescence-guided techniques. Provepharm is positioning itself at the forefront of this growth, combining scientific innovation with global partnerships to reshape surgical visualisation.

66537pr@reply-direct.com Cleaner signals for multi-colour flow cytometry


Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Invitrogen™ UltraComp eBeads™ Spectral Unmixing Beads, designed to make spectral and conventional flow cytometry more precise and reliable. These next-generation beads mimic real cells, helping researchers separate overlapping fluorescent signals, reduce background noise, and confidently quantify complex or rare cell populations.


High-parameter flow cytometry provides a detailed view of cellular phenotypes, but traditional compensation solutions can introduce errors or false signals. UltraComp eBeads address these challenges by offering bright, consistent fluorochrome signals with minimal autofluorescence. They support antibodies from mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, and recombinant human


sources and are compatible with all major laser lines, including UV, violet, blue, green, yellow-green, red, and IR.


Each drop contains both positive and negative populations, producing clear, distinct peaks for quick and easy panel setup - even for high-parameter experiments. Researchers in immunology, immuno-oncology, and flow cytometry core facilities can now streamline workflows while maintaining clean, reproducible data.


“UltraComp eBeads deliver the accuracy and reliability researchers need to tackle complex cellular analyses,” said Trisha Dowling, VP/GM, Flow and Imaging Technologies. “They provide clearer signals, fewer errors, and confidence in every experiment.”

New kit enables detailed chromatin insights


Kits


EpiCypher®


has unveiled its CUTANA®


Fiber-


seq Kit, designed to make cutting-edge single- molecule chromatin mapping accessible to researchers worldwide. This launch follows the company’s exclusive licensing of key Fiber- seq technology from the Altius Institute for Biomedical Sciences.


Fiber-seq is a breakthrough method that reveals how DNA and chromatin are organised and regulated at the single-molecule level. It simultaneously maps chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, protein footprints, and genetic variation along individual DNA molecules, providing an unprecedented multiomic view of genome function.


The new kit includes all reagents needed to take samples from cells to purified DNA ready for library preparation and is compatible with PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing platforms. Using EpiCypher’s exclusive Hia5 enzyme, a highly active adenine methyltransferase, researchers can achieve precise and reproducible chromatin labelling across the genome.

“This technology allows scientists to connect genetic variation to epigenetic regulation with a single-molecule view, unlocking insights critical for drug development and biomarker discovery,” said Martis Cowles, Chief Business Officer at EpiCypher.


Enhanced protection for biological safety cabinets


Developed by Telstar, Zerocoat is a photocatalytic treatment that creates a high antimicrobial barrier inside biological safety cabinets, reducing cleaning and maintenance costs. Using titanium dioxide, the self- cleaning surface breaks down organic matter when exposed to white or UV light, oxidising contaminants safely and instantly at the molecular level.


Unlike conventional antimicrobial coatings that rely on silver particles applied only to exterior painted surfaces, Zerocoat is applied inside the cabinet, giving stainless steel work surfaces enhanced antimicrobial protection.


Safety Cabinets


through rigorous testing, including exposure to different light wavelengths, organic compounds, and standard cleaning procedures, proving its durability, stability, and effectiveness over time.


Telstar’s full range of biological safety cabinets — Bio II Advance and BiOptima — now feature Zerocoat as a standard interior treatment, ensuring safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective lab operations.


Since its launch in 2020, Zerocoat’s photocatalytic efficacy has been validated

Reliable containment for sharp, hazardous, and infectious waste disposal containers from Carl


Sharpsafe®


Roth are designed for the safe collection and disposal of sharp, hazardous, and infectious waste, including needles, syringes, Petri dishes, scalpels, and insulin pens. Built to resist impact and penetration, the containers comply with DIN EN ISO 23907, TRBA 250, and AFNOR NF X 30-507 standards.


Sustainability is integral to the design. Each container is manufactured using an improved,


environmentally responsible process and made entirely from 100% recycled polypropylene (PP), without compromising safety or performance.


The containers are watertight in the upright position and feature an integrated handle for secure transport. A wide opening with a transparent inner chamber allows clear visibility of contents, while an automatic closure system helps prevent vapour release


By combining advanced chromatin biochemistry with high-accuracy long-read sequencing, Fiber-seq offers a powerful platform for uncovering the functional landscape of the genome. Researchers can now explore gene regulation, disease mechanisms, and drug response with greater resolution and confidence than ever before.


The Fiber-seq kit complements EpiCypher’s expanding CUTANA®


platform, which also


includes ultra-sensitive CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag assays, along with a comprehensive library of designer nucleosomes. Together, these tools empower researchers to tackle complex questions in drug discovery, genomics, and epigenetics.

Lab Safety


into the surrounding environment. Two closure positions - temporary and permanent - support safe use throughout handling and final disposal.


Depending on the model, integrated extractors are suitable for insulin pens, Luer Lock and Luer Slip needles, and scalpel blades. A clearly visible fill-level indicator prevents overfilling, and a permanently stamped, multilingual label ensures essential information remains legible


throughout the product’s lifetime. Sharpsafe®


containers are available in


volumes of 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 (standard and tall), 13, and 24 litres. All models are supplied in dark grey with a yellow lid for clear visual identification.
