CN Bio

CN Bio’s mission is to transform drug discovery through the development of disruptive single and multi-organ microphysiological systems (MPS), otherwise known as organ-on-a-chip, that optimise the accuracy and productivity of bringing new medicines to market. By supporting more efficient drug discovery, before having to go to advanced and expensive animal or human clinical trials, CN Bio’s MPS can provide significant savings in cost and time.

This short video will introduce you to CN Bio and what differentiates us as a company. It details:

1) our mission to help improve the accuracy and efficiency of drug discovery by providing researchers with the ability to generate predictive human-relevant information. 

2) use of advanced single and multi-organ in vitro models, cultured using CN Bio's PhysioMimix™ OOC, to facilitate faster, cheaper and more insightful decisions regarding compound progression into the clinic versus traditional techniques alone.

3) the benefits of an organ-on-a-chip approach to drug metabolism and toxicology applications such as DILI, Human ADME, metabolite driven toxicity, on and off-target effects 

4) how to access this technology in your own lab, or through our in house testing services

Predicting the future: humanized drug evaluation testing using organ-on-a-chip technology

Discover the benefits of CN Bio's in vitro organ-on-a-chip (OOC) approach to drug metabolism and toxicology applications.

In just 60 seconds, we will explain how the PhysioMimix™ OOC from CN Bio, provides researchers within the pharmaceutical industry with human-relevant and predictive information through the use of advanced single and multi-organ in vitro models and assays.

HTA srl

HT1500U can be used in a number of flow-through-cell (also known as flow-through cuvette or quartz cell) applications such as: UV-VIS, NIR, colorimeters and many more. HT1500U is the best choice for anyone who is looking for immediate automation, potentially avoiding the need to source an expensive sipper.
Beside the undoubted productivity boost, HT1500U will increase analysis robustness and will significatively reduce carry-over: you can indeed programme as many washing cycles as you need for this purpose; sample replicas and calibration curve could be conveniently run whenever needed with no fuss. Moreover, in case you have a precious sample to analyse, you should not worry anymore about product handling (with the relative risk of sample spill or waste): HT1500U could automatically bring back the sample inside its vessel after the analysis instead of displacing it to the waste tank.

HT1500U can be deployed in any environment, lab or production, and operated by anyone with no or minimal training. Just load the samples on the autosampler carousel and press the start button: the autosampler and the spectrophotometer or colorimeter will take care of your analysis for you.

NanoTemper

Visit NanoTemper headquarters with Matthias Molnar, the Monolith Product Manager and meet the team who put their brains together to create the new Monolith. The new instrument combines the accuracy and sensitivity of original Monolith NT.115 instruments with the benefits of simpler and faster assay development, shorter run times, increased flexibility, and higher throughput. It's been completely re-designed for better usability and for greater precision and reproducibility of measurement data.

Current manufacturing methods release harmful greenhouse gases and pollution, and many of the products produced do not biodegrade, damaging our ecosystems even further. What if we could turn greenhouse gases into biodegradable products? Researchers at the Wyss Institute are using synthetic biology to make this a reality.

Teach Me in 10

In this instalment of Teach Me in 10, we're joined by Benita Olivier, a professor and researcher in the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy in the Department of Physiotherapy, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

Olivier has a huge passion for research, but also a passion for improving the lives of researchers. To that end, she created a website – Research Masterminds – through which she shares solutions for making various aspects of postgraduate and academic life easier. In this Teach Me in 10, Olivier discusses some valuable tips and tricks for writing your first scientific paper.

Smart Thermally Actuating Textiles (STATs) are tightly-sealed pouches that are able to change shape or maintain their pressure even in environments in which the exterior temperature or airflow fluctuates. This soft robotics technology could be developed as novel components of rehabilitation therapies or to prevent tissue damage in hospital bed or wheelchair-bound individuals.

Thermtest

Discussing the benefit of using the Transient Hot-Wire (THW) method for heat transfer fluids such as ethylene glycol and water. Transient Hot-Wire (THW) is the primary method for the measurement of thermal conductivity of fluids, nanofluids and pastes because of the wide range of applications, its high accuracy and repeatability.
