Minimize risks when selecting hardware and disposable products

Selecting the right equipment and disposables is an essential step for manufacturers seeking efficiency, quality compliance and customer satisfaction. For the biopharmaceutical industry, strict regulatory guidelines can make revalidation of new equipment or materials very difficult. In addition to the cost of revalidation, choosing the wrong equipment also results in material loss, labor costs and […]

How harmful bacteria use electrical signals to penetrate the intestine


How harmful bacteria use electrical signals to penetrate the intestine

Electric field-driven migration of Salmonella. Image credit: UC Regents Studies have shown that an electric current in the intestines can attract pathogens such as salmonella. Scientists at UC Davis found that Salmonella enters the body using electrical signals in the gut (a process called galvanotaxis). This process offers new insights into bacterial infections and potential […]

New study recommends balanced use of biocides for greater sustainability and health benefits


New study recommends balanced use of biocides for greater sustainability and health benefits

A recent review in the magazine Sustainable Microbiology discussed how the use of biocides can improve well-being – but only if there is a clear benefit. The new report suggests limiting the use of biocides to applications where there is a concrete benefit, while avoiding unnecessary restrictions when real benefits can be demonstrated. The article […]
