Field spot-checking is a common way to determine the measurement accuracy of a fixed measurement instrument between calibration intervals. However, it is important to understand that spot-checking is different from field calibration. In this blog we will briefly go over some of the differences. Spot…

Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have developed a super-resolution microscope with a spatio-temporal precision of one nanometer per millisecond. An improved version of their recently introduced MINFLUX super-resolution micros…

The new branch of the pharmaceutical logistics company is located in close proximity to the Gießen South Cross with direct motorway access to the A45, only 10 minutes away from the A5 and the Gambacher Cross.

How must stacks of fuel cells (stacks) in vehicles be designed so that the materials used can be dismantled, recycled, or ideally even reused in automated processes at the end of the product's lifecycle? Four Fraunhofer Institutes are exploring this question within the Stack to Piece (Stack2P) conso…

Ex stainless steel enclosure systems from ROSE are ideally suited for protecting electronic components in harsh environments. The metal enclosures are corrosion-resistant, exhibit very high chemical resistance, and can be used across a wide temperature range. Operators of LNG and hydrogen terminals…

Do your products tip over or float on the belt conveyor at high accelerations? Do your short cycle times not allow you to stop and handle the products with a gripper? Do you want to coat, scan, label or laser the bottom of your products?

When transporting with a vacuum belt conveyor, products are fix…

The environmental monitoring requirements of aseptic processing in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries have become more and more demanding. To provide laboratories with a new gold standard in microbiological active air monitoring and sampling, the British company Pinpoint Scientific has dev…
