New partnership will develop low-carbon ethanol ecosystem in France
VIVESCIA (a leading French grain cooperative group), Roquette (a global leader in plant-based ingredients and pharmaceutical excipients serving the food, nutrition, pharmaceutical and bio-industry markets) and Siplec E.Leclerc (the cooperative of the E.Leclerc Movement responsible for energy products and services)…
Staying Ahead of the Curve: What the Latest Global Pharmacopoeia Updates Mean for Your Lab Balance Program
Regulatory requirements for laboratory balances in the pharmaceutical industry have undergone their most significant overhaul in years, with all four major pharmacopoeias — most recent USP 41 & 1251, Ph.Eur., JP, and ChP — now moving in concert toward clearer,…
Know Your Numbers: Understanding Measurement Uncertainty in Precision Weighing
Even a perfectly calibrated laboratory balance raises an important question every scientist in a regulated environment must be able to answer: how confident can you be in the weight value displayed? This technical white paper, authored by Sartorius metrologists, walks…
Discover How to Simplify and Strengthen Your Chemical Analysis Workflows
Whether you're working in bulk chemicals, fine and specialty chemicals, or cosmetics and personal care, maintaining precision, purity, and regulatory compliance at every stage of production is non-negotiable. This resource explores the full landscape of analytical challenges labs face today…
Ionomer-free plastic for vacuum packaging applications results from collaboration
Ionomers (polymers that can form cross-links between chains due to ionized functional groups) are often used for vacuum-packaged products because they have the strength needed to resist puncture and tearing when vacuum is applied. Due to material shortages for ionomer…
Patent granted on system for feeding biomass to high-pressure reactors
One of the challenges for biofuels manufacturing is reliably feeding low-density feedstocks into high-pressure reactors, because it is difficult to feed agricultural and forest residue, as well as municipal solid waste, into pressurized systems without bridging, compaction and flow instability.…
New insights into graphene oxide’s strengthening effects in concrete could accelerate commercial development
The nanomaterial graphene oxide (GO) has been investigated as a way to improve concrete strength, but reported results of GO’s effects have been inconsistent and detailed understanding of the mechanisms of its strength-enhancing effects has been elusive. New studies by…
Circular-loop recycling for disposable baby diapers demonstrated in Europe
Disposable baby diapers are a challenging waste stream, because the absorbent polymers, non-woven fibers and organic material prevent them from mechanical-recycling processes. However, a three-way partnership has demonstrated a circular system for chemical recycling of disposable diapers. The project, involving…
Pilot project debuts integrated hydrogen storage and transport using aqueous-salt technology
Hydrogen production is expanding across the globe, but hydrogen gas remains difficult and costly to store and transport, restricting its broader use. A pilot project in Germany is demonstrating for the first time a salt-based process for long-term hydrogen storage.…
World-first sewage-treatment trial proves comprehensive dual-phase PFAS removal
An ongoing large-scale demonstration project in Australia is the world’s first to apply a foam-fractionation technology to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a sewage-treatment plant. The Surface-Active Foam Fractionation (SAFF®) technology developed by EPOC Enviro (Emu Plains, NSW,…
