A review of analytical parameters in ‘rapid’ liquid chromatographic methods for bioanalysis: Can we do better? Our Laboratory Operations Manager, Katie Lawlor, has just published her first academic paper on the applications of rapid bioanalysis 🤝 Read the #academic paper here: https://ow.ly/YnQO50SzKYm #academicpublishing #teamsuccess #bioanalysis

I would like to announce that my recent research work has been accepted in the Wiley journal. I successfully created an electrospun omniphobic membrane from a superhydrophobic membrane. Through a rheological study, I optimized the concentration of nanofillers and then coated the membrane with 1H, 1H, 2H, and 2H-Perfluorodecyltrimethoxythoxysilane (PFDTMS) to create an electrospun omniphobic membrane with a reentrant structure to repel both oil and water with a contact angle above 150 °C. This membrane is sustainable and has shown great resistance against surfactant as well.  #membranedistillation #omniphobic #watertreatment #Universityofprincemugrin #UPM

We are honored to have another #Open #Access great research in the Special Issue Honoring Professor Jean-Louis Salager #Research #Highlight: Addressing Non-Ideality in Surfactant Mixtures with the Hydrophilic–Lipophilic-Deviation (HLD) Concept Authors: Jörn Phillipp Optatzi Dr. Peter Schmiedel Birgit Glüsen, Mahdis Hesami from Henkel and Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences - TH Köln Published in: Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, First published: 22 October 2024 Full text link 👉🏻https://lnkd.in/eqn5XVRm Highlights: 1. 🧪 Rapid Evaluation of Surfactant Interactions: Using the Dynamic Phase Salinity Inversion (DSPI) method, researchers quickly determined the interaction term (GEX/RT) in surfactant mixtures, significantly reducing time and resources compared to traditional approaches. 2. 🌊 Improved Predictability for Surfactant Mixtures: The study introduced the interaction term into the HLD concept, allowing for more accurate predictions of non-ideal mixing behavior in surfactant/oil/water systems. 3. 🔍 Accurate Modeling with HLD-NAC: The HLD-NAC model, combined with the newly calculated interaction terms, showed excellent agreement with experimental values in predicting interfacial tension, validated through spinning drop tensiometry. 4. 🧼 Customizing Cleaning Formulations: This method can be used to rapidly develop tailored surfactant systems for specific soils and contaminants, enhancing the effectiveness of cleaning products in various industries. #Surfactants #HLDC #SurfactantMixing #DSPI #SurfaceScience #IndustrialCleaning

Are you a scientist working in experimental research and struggling with error analysis? Finally, our tutorial review on error analysis in water research and membrane filtration is out to help you! In this tutorial review, we propose a practical method to estimate experimental error and identify errors in the experimental design. This study will help raising some awareness of the significance to be more transparent in reporting scientific methodology, doing proper error analysis and ensuring data repeatability. https://lnkd.in/dxmsGWnk #WaterResearch #MembraneFiltration #Research #ErrorAnalysis

🔬📚 Today we would like to share with you a cutting-edge publication that addresses the challenge of boosting the performance of rotating bed enzymatic reactors! 💡 Authors Katarzyna Szymaska, Klaudia Odrozek, @Aurelia Zniszczo,Wojciech Pudlo, and Andrzej B. Jarzbski present a novel hierarchically structured siliceous packing as a solution. 🎯 Remarkable results were observed through the use of siliceous pellets with a hierarchical pore structure in micrometric and nanometric scales. These pellets, crafted using a sol-gel method, phase separation, and pore templating, were then attached to a model enzyme (invertase) and tested in a sucrose hydrolysis reaction. 📢 The research paper provides extensive evidence of the superior performance of this new structured packing. We'd love to hear your thoughts! 🎉 What types of catalysts or solid-phase materials would you be interested in testing using an RBR? 🔍 Dig deeper into this research by accessing the full paper here: https://hubs.li/Q02z2tg70 #Biocatalysis #ReactionScreening #ReactorEngineering #Porosity #Engineering #Polymers #engineering #chemistryinnovation

There are several types of laboratory incubators and ovens. Some units can be stacked depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations. The Esco Isotherm® Laboratory Incubators and Ovens are stackable for up to 2 units of the same model size. It is specifically applicable to 32 to 110 L of the Isotherm® Forced Convection Laboratory Oven, Isotherm® Forced Convection Laboratory Incubator, and Isotherm® Natural Convection Laboratory Incubator models only. Find out why IFC models cannot be stacked in Part 2.

Really cool paper showing in-vitro evolution of a teeny tiny degron (~3.5 Kd) using Phages, Chemical Biology, Structure determination and more. Next step would be to show from PK/PD and in-vivo efficiacy with this system (which can work with dTAG for e.g.) I wonder how some marketed dual iMid based degraders would perform if the "off-target" selectivity (IKZFs) is tuned out? Really nice that the Liu lab has made the paper accesible here: https://lnkd.in/d95BrBbw
