Precision Cleanrooms’ New Raleigh office will serve customers in North Carolina, South Carolina and the surrounding southeastern United States, providing turnkey cleanroom solutions and services for many industries including: pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and microelectronics industries.
As new and novel drug therapies are developed to address areas where conventional medicines are limited, drug delivery innovators, designers and manufacturers have turned to Picocyl for its unique, patented power solutions for drug and implant delivery systems.
Nanoscale Kirigami has taken off as a field of research in the last few years; the approach is based on the ancient arts of origami (making 3-D shapes by folding paper) and kirigami (which allows cutting as well as folding) but applied to flat materials at the nanoscale, measured in billionths of a meter.
NexLogic Technologies, Inc. has announced the completion of its International Standards Organization (ISO) 14644-1 Class 4/10,000 and the equivalent Federal Standard 209E (FS209E) Class 10 clean room as an integral part of its new microelectronics services and manufacturing capability.
The Food Fraud Database, launched by USP in 2012, helps food manufacturers, retailers, and other stakeholders make informed decisions about the vulnerability of their food ingredients to economically motivated adulteration. This supports compliance with FSMA and GFSI requirements by providing information on the pattern and history of food fraud and the identification of potentially hazardous adulterants.
Neovii pharmaceuticals AG of Rapperswil, Switzerland and Mundipharma have entered into an agreement giving Mundipharma the rights to develop and distribute its polyclonal antibody immunosuppressant Grafalon®, in China and Japan from end October.
ACROMEC Limited (“ACROMEC”, SGX:43F), an established specialist engineering service provider in the field of controlled environments serving mainly the healthcare, biomedical, research and academia sectors, has secured three new contracts totaling approximately S6.2 million.
Dynacure, a biotechnology company developing new treatments for patients affected by serious orphan disorders, announced today the completion of a €47 million financing round (~US$55 million) to advance its lead program into clinical development. Andera Partners (formerly Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners) led the financing round, joined by Pontifax, Bpifrance, Kurma Partners and IdInvest Partners.
Semiconductor quantum dots (nanocrystals just a few nanometers in size) have attracted researchers’ attention due to the size dependent effects that determine their novel electrical and optical properties. By changing the size of such objects, it is possible to adjust the wavelength of the emission they absorb, thus implementing selective photodetectors, including those for UV radiation.
Nanofiber-based wound dressings loaded with vitamin D spur the production of an antimicrobial peptide, a key step forward in the battle against surgical site infections, or SSIs. The findings by Oregon State University researchers and other collaborators, published Wednesday in Nanomedicine, are important because SSIs are the most common healthcare-associated infection and result in widespread human suffering and economic loss.
porous materials such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks have drawn the attention of the scientific community due to the wide range of applications derived from their porosity. Recently, a new class of all organic materials has emerged – the hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs).
