Episode 7: A panel discussion about cutting edge analytical capabilities for advancing science
June 01, 2021 16:06 - 38 minutes - 44.2 MBIn this episode, as the final episode of the series, we did a deeper dive into the the role of technological and digital advances in analytical instrumentation and how these developments made possible to move science forward. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. DE44320.2799189815
Episode 6: Analysis of the complex component parts of Mergo™: an oligonucleotide-based drug delivery system for the treatment of immune and genetic diseases
June 01, 2021 16:05 - 24 minutes - 28.5 MBAs interest in oligonucleotide therapeutics increases, there is an ever-growing need for analytical techniques that can properly analyse and quantitate these complex biomolecules. Mass spectrometry (MS) is required to analyse impurities, degradants, and other biological/chemical modifications and is the method of choice for the analysis of synthetic oligonucleotides. Sixfold Bioscience, in collaboration with the National Measurement Laboratory (NML) have been using the Agilent Advanced...
Episode 5: Identification of Common Cutting Agents in Latent Fingerprints
June 01, 2021 16:04 - 24 minutes - 27.6 MBDrugs of abuse have a detrimental effect on both society and the individual. Cutting agents are often added to drugs of abuse for a variety of reasons such as increasing the effect of the drug; this can enhance the user's response but can also seriously increase health risks. Contaminants can be introduced to drugs of abuse unintentionally, for example, metal contamination from synthesis apparatus and/or experimental procedures, leaching of materials from storage (containers and 'labor...
Episode 4: Antioxidants nanoparticles and Neurodegenerative diseases
June 01, 2021 16:03 - 14 minutes - 16.8 MBGold nanoparticles are becoming a promising platform for the delivery of drugs in the treatment of Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative Stress has been considered as key modulator in Neurodegenerative diseases and the mitochondria, highly involved in the production of oxidant species, play a role in the etiology of the diseases. This project explores the opposite roles of gold nanoparticles to generate either physiological (beneficial) or pathological alterations on ...
Episode 3: Engineering of a new screening tool for early prediction of preterm birth based on microRNA biomarkers
June 01, 2021 16:02 - 12 minutes - 14.5 MBPreterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of child death under 5, world-wide. Despite the long-lasting effects on both the child and their family and the existence of a variety of treatment options for expectant mothers at risk of preterm labour, no screening tools exist on the market for population-wide risk stratification. This project aims to develop a point-of-care (POC) predictive tool to identify women at risk of PTB at the 12th week of pregnancy by detecting cell-free nucleic acid bioma...
Episode 2: Use of GC/Q-TOF in determining the flavour profiles of British hard cheeses
June 01, 2021 16:01 - 23 minutes - 26.9 MBNumerous cheeses have a certain uniqueness that is directly influenced by the unique culture and environment of the region in which they are produced. Different regions use a variety of cheesemaking techniques which are often unique to the area and have been developed over time in a direct response to new and emerging technologies, and constant changes in consumer demand. Although cheeses will often be sold on the market as the same variant, for example mild cheddar, there can be significant ...
Episode 1: The Agilent Measurement Suite
June 01, 2021 16:00 - 24 minutes - 28.1 MBListen to the key players involved in the Agilent Mesurement Suite (AMS) partnership at Imperial College London. Discover how the AMS came about, what it is used for and why it is so important for the future of analytical science. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. DE44320.2742476852
