As part of efforts to meet the increasing analytical demands of researchers, SCIEX recently announced the launch of the ZenoTOF 7600 system. To learn more about the technology behind the platform and some of the applications that it could benefit, Technology Networks spoke to Joe Fox, president of SCIEX.

Technology Networks spoke with Dr. Caroline Loew, CEO of Glympse Bio to learn more about the use of activity-based biosensors in fibrotic disease.

It is now widely accepted that bee populations can be threatened by compounds called neonicotinoids, which can also enter the human food chain as the chemicals persist in the environment for several years after use. Because of this, methods that can detect even trace levels of these compounds in our foodstuffs are necessary to help ensure a safe food supply.

Technology Networks spoke to Stefan Baier, head of food science at Motif FoodWorks, to learn more about the exclusive access to transformative plant-based food technologies the company has recently been granted. He also highlights the role plant-based foods play in protecting the environment and the importance of flavor and texture when developing plant-based foods.

Despite small molecule research spanning many fields, the characterization and identification protocols are often not as good as they should be. We spoke to Andreas Huhmer from Thermo Fisher Scientific to learn how the company's latest mass spectrometer helps address these issues.

To learn how cell cultured human milk is produced and how it compares to mothers’ milk, Technology Networks spoke to Shayne Guiliano, CEO of 108Labs. In this interview, Shayne also highlights the impact that scaling up the technology will have and shares his thoughts on what could be in store for the future of cellular agriculture.

Many of us are familiar with the undesirable physical and mental effects of a disrupted sleep/wake cycle caused by traveling across multiple time zones or working irregular hours. A collaborative project designed to address these issues is working to develop a “living pharmacy” – a personalized, wireless and fully implantable device that can control the body’s circadian clock.

In this article, we look at some of the innovations being used to give food waste new life around the world.

The full impact that microplastics have on health and the environment is still not well understood, however, mounting evidence regarding their negative effects has made microplastics a topic of interest for scientists, governments and regulatory bodies. We spoke to Kathleen A. Young about microplastics detection techniques and technologies, the importance of standards and how regulations may come to fruition in the years to come.

To detect, quantify and ultimately instigate remedial action in relation to dioxin contamination, scientists require suitable analytical tools and techniques. The USEPA recently approved a new dioxin testing method which could assist these efforts. We spoke to Frank L. Dorman, PhD, FRSC, about the hazards posed by dioxins, challenges in their identification and the future detection landscape.
