BD Announces New Robotics Solution to Automate, Standardize Single-Cell Research
The automated solution from the BD and Hamilton collaboration standardizes traditionally manual processes and speeds the generation of material for genetic sequencing. The solution includes the newly released BD® OMICS-One XT WTA Assay and the Hamilton® Microlab™ NGS STAR automated liquid handling platform. Because the NGS STAR is already installed in many laboratories and facilities worldwide, more researchers, processing samples across an array of genomics applications, can easily integrate the new automation-ready BD® assay into existing workflows.
New Project Will Enable Rapid Detection of Staphylococcus Bacteria & Create a New Bio-based Disinfectant to Reduce Hospital-acquired Infections
Early detection of nosocomial infections and effective disinfection of hospitals and healthcare centres are key to reducing these figures, but the methods currently used have their limitations. Hence the creation of the NOSOSENS Project, which is working on a new bio-based disinfectant designed to eliminate the main pathogens on a new, flexible and portable biosensor platform. It uses printed electrochemical sensors for rapid, selective detection of Staphylococcus aureus, which is resistant to methicillin and responsible for 11% of nosocomial infections.
