Dual-stage vacuum pump for reliable degassing


Pumps A new benchmark in differential scanning calorimetry


Anton Paar has introduced the Julia DSC series – a next-generation line of differential scanning calorimeters designed for exceptional speed, precision, and ease of use in both research and quality control.


Expanding Anton Paar’s materials characterisation portfolio, the Julia DSC brings differential scanning calorimetry alongside the company’s established strengths in rheometry, particle characterisation, and surface and pore analysis.


Biotech Fluidics has unveiled its new StabiliX™ dual-stage vacuum pump, engineered to deliver consistent, reliable performance for degassing applications where dissolved gases and bubbles can disrupt processes.


Designed for durability and long life, the StabiliX™ range ensures stress-free operation across a variety of fluidic systems. Available in both analytical and prep scale versions, the pumps are quiet, robust, and compatible with Biotech Fluidics’ full line of DEGASi® inline degassers.


Featuring a fully inert wetted path, StabiliX™ pumps can efficiently remove gas bubbles from almost any fluid. The analytical scale model is ideal for standard degassing chambers and typical fluids, while the prep scale version is tailored for high-flow applications or fluids with low vapour pressure, managing increased solvent pervaporation without compromising performance.


Next-generation design options include bottom- and side-mounted versions, offering flexibility for integration into existing systems.

“Julia DSC bridges the gap between speed, precision, and simplicity,” explained Product Manager Jiří Kislinger. “Labs can move from setup to results in minutes, with flexible cooling options and intuitive software that make even complex analyses straightforward.”


method editor with smart suggestions, automated calibration, built-in performance checks, and a dedicated QC mode. The platform is designed to deliver results quickly, accurately, and with minimal training.


The system features an air-cooled Peltier module capable of reaching -35°C without external chillers. For lower temperatures, interchangeable cooling units can be swapped in under five minutes to achieve cryogenic conditions down to -170°C – the fastest switching available.


Driven by the intuitive Julia Suite software, users benefit from a graphical


Throughput can be further increased with an optional autosampler accommodating up to 70 samples and eight references, while an energy-saving eco mode supports more sustainable lab operation.


From routine quality control to advanced R&D, the Julia DSC series makes high- performance calorimetry faster, simpler, and more accessible than ever before.

AAV reference standards advance gene therapy research


Amsbio has launched a new range of Adeno- Associated Virus (AAV) reference standards to help researchers optimise AAV production and improve the accuracy of gene therapy studies.


AAVs are widely used for delivering DNA to target cells without carrying viral genes, making them a safe and versatile tool. However, a major challenge in production is the presence of empty viral capsids - particles that do not contain a gene payload. Even after purification, these empty capsids remain, which can affect experimental reliability and therapeutic outcomes. High-quality reference standards are essential to standardise measurements and ensure consistent, reproducible results.


The new AAV reference standards from Amsbio are thoroughly characterised, providing precise titres and well-defined

support consistency from research to clinical applications. Empty AAV standards serve as reference points to quantify the proportion of full versus empty capsids in production batches, aiding quality control, immunogenicity assessment, and regulatory compliance.


full-to-empty capsid ratios. These standards are crucial for quantitative AAV production, enabling researchers to calibrate assays, validate testing methods, and maintain consistency across experiments.


Amsbio offers both full and empty capsid reference materials across multiple AAV serotypes. Full AAV standards are used to calibrate qPCR and ELISA assays, establish benchmarks for critical quality attributes, and


Each AAV reference standard undergoes extensive characterisation, including ddPCR, ELISA, silver staining, and mass photometry, along with full safety testing for bioburden, mycoplasma, and endotoxin. Quantification data are traceable to ATCC Reference Standard Material, giving researchers confidence and consistency in gene therapy development, quality control, and regulatory workflows.

Integra Biosciences is challenging laboratories to move beyond manual pipetting with its Lab Evolution competition for 2026. One winning lab will receive a personalised automation introduction from Integra experts, plus 50% off an ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot.


While manual workflows have driven discoveries for decades, increasing demands for reproducibility, throughput, and ergonomic safety mean labs are ready for a change. Integra’s ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot offers an easy-to-use, flexible automation solution that fits any bench and protocol - without the cost or complexity often associated with liquid handling automation.


To enter, labs must complete Integra’s questionnaire, sharing why they haven’t yet explored automation and which ASSIST PLUS features would benefit their workflows most.


Entries close on 31 March 2026, with the winner announced in April 2026.
