The 10th edition of the European Biotechnology Science & Industry Guide once more offers an interesting cross-section of the European biotech scene.
At the CPhI Worldwide in Frankfurt, the winners of the 2019 Pharma awards were announced. The CEO of WuXi AppTec, Dr. Ge Li, received the award in category CEO of the year among 12 other categories.
BioEcho develops single-spin and 96-well kits for the isolation of DNA from different starting materials. In contrast to common bind-wash-elute procedures their proprietary EchoLUTION single-step technology avoids the use of inhibitory or harmful process reagents and does not require washing steps.
Many users in research labs like to store their assay components such as assay antibodies, conjugates, antigens, calibrators or coated ELISA plates for a while without losing functionality.
BioEcho develops single-spin and 96-well kits for the isolation of DNA from different starting materials. Their proprietary EchoLUTION single-step technology avoids the use of inhibitory process reagents while using dedicated efficient lysis reagents for e.g. different plant tissues. In contrast to common bind-wash-elute procedures, the process does not require washing steps. The inhibitor-free DNA enables lowered time-to-result in enzyme-dependent genomic analyses such as PCR or NGS.
Manufacturers respond to stricter regulations with novel approaches.
Galapagos’s mission is to develop first-in-class medicines based on the discovery of novel targets. Using human primary healthy andpatient cells, the company discovers which proteins play a key role in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and fibrosis.
Oncology drugs developed through a biomarker-guided precision medicine design are 38% more likely to be commercialized. But success relies on following a plan from the start — learn how in this free whitepaper
LEA, the Lipidomics Excellence Award, was founded to strengthen life sciences through lipidomics. Over the course of April, the LEA jury deliberated on the submitted projects to announce the three LEA awardees.
BioEcho develops single-spin and 96-well kits for the isolation of DNA. Their proprietary EchoLUTION single-step technology avoids the use of inhibitory process reagents resulting in increased sensitivity and reliability of downstream analyses. Therefore, the risk of inhibition or complete failure of PCR applications is eliminated. The process does not require washing steps and is significantly faster than commonly used bind-wash-elute methods.
