Spartan Cube by Spartan Bioscience Approved for COVID-19 Testing Use
Spartan Bioscience (Ottowa, Canada) recently obtained Health Canada approval for use of the Spartan Cube, reportedly the world’s smallest DNA analyzer, for COVID-19 testing.
Spartan Bioscience (Ottowa, Canada) recently obtained Health Canada approval for use of the Spartan Cube, reportedly the world’s smallest DNA analyzer, for COVID-19 testing. The Cube provides rapid DNA results, with sample-to-result time reportedly available in less than one hour.
Iridian Spectral Technologies, a diversified optical filter manufacturer for application in the fields of fiber optic communications, biomedical optical spectroscopy, 3D entertainment, and aerospace, has supplied optical filters to support the increased production of the Spartan Cube. The company is dedicated to continued support of Spartan Bioscience and its ongoing needs in helping to fight the global pandemic.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
