AUTOMATED ENDOTOXIN TESTING
Lonza has announced an expansion to its PyroTec Pro Automated Robotic Solution for endotoxin testing. The new PyroWave Reader add-on has been designed specifically for use with the sustainable PyroGene Recombinant Factor C (rFC) Assay. This brings a third test type option to the platform, allowing QC microbiologists to choose the endotoxin test method best suited for their testing needs. The PyroTec Pro Solution, now compatible with Lonza’s Pyrogent-5000 Turbidimetric LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) Assay, Kinetic-QCL Chromogenic LAL Assay and the PyroGene rFC Assay, expands the options available for streamlined, automated endotoxin testing. The add-on is built upon the original release of the PyroTec Pro Automated System.
Next-generation robotic platform unveiled
Arctoris has unveiled its expanded, next-
generation robotic platform, Ulysses. Arctoris was founded in 2016 as the world’s first fully automated drug discovery platform. Through end- to-end automation, the company’s technology platform rapidly delivers reliable, reproducible, and fully auditable datasets enabling better decision-making early in the drug discovery process. Looking back at the past five
years, the company’s CEO Dr Martin- Immanuel Bittner says, “The drug
96 channel portable pipette introduced
IIntegra Biosciences has launched the Mini 96 portable electronic pipette, giving every lab access to increased liquid handling productivity. This ultra-compact and portable system is an affordable electronic 96 channel pipette that is available in four volume ranges – 0.5-12.5 µl, 5-125 µl, 10-300 µl and 50-1250 µl – offering improved productivity for virtually any microplate-based liquid handling task.
The extremely lightweight and efficient Mini 96 is designed to offer the versatility of a handheld pipette in a high throughput system. Weighing under 10kg, with integrated carrying handles, the system is easy to transport and incorporate into any stage of a workflow. Electronic tip loading and ejection together with motor-driven pipetting make it ideal for repetitive liquid handling tasks. A range of modes, including mixing and repeat dispense functions, improve the reproducibility of pipetting tasks while eliminating the burden of repetitive strain.

discovery ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and the key to success is having access to the right data at the right time, to progress the right projects towards the clinic. Arctoris plays an important role in enabling true data-driven drug discovery globally, by generating the data that powers decisions in biotech and pharma companies on three continents.”
RAPID MASS SPEC TOOL
The new ionRocket from BioChromato is a temperature- heating device for direct thermal desorption and pyrolysis of samples, prior to ionisation and analysis by mass spectrometry. Direct Analysis in Real Time
Mass Spectrometry (DART-MS) is a proven technique that enables rapid analysis of both solid and liquid samples under standard lab conditions without sample preparation. However, certain polymers, powders and forensic materials are difficult to analyse using DART-MS due to the varying volatility of substituents in these complex samples. Even insoluble samples can be measured using the ionRocket/DART-MS set-up without treatment.
