How to Tell your Pinot from your Plonk: A Taste of Things to ComeThere is no eyeballing, swirling, sniffing or swishing, no waxing lyrical over beautiful summery aromas of red berries, but a high-energy ion beam and an electronic tongue can sort the pinot from the plonk and authenticate the vintage of a rare tipple. These sauvignon savvy technologies use particle accelerators to authenticate vintage wines and to spot a fake, while an electronic tongue can 'taste' grape varieties as well as vintages. |

Nano Medicine Course...
'Advances in Medical Diagnostics'
University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, 11th September 2008
 |
A one-day course, delivered in collaboration with Strathclyde and Cranfield Universities, which will review new developments in nanotechnology as applied to IVDs, including:
- Lab-on-a-chip devices
- DNA chips
- nanoarrays
- gene and protein chips
- biosensor technology
- scanning probe microscopy
- in-vivo nano-imaging
The aim of these technologies is clear - to meet the individual patient needs and monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention with maximum efficiency and minimal intervention. Recent developments in these fields, together with those of emerging complementary areas of research, will be the primary focus of this Nanodiagnostics Course

Drug Delivery Using Nanotechnologies:
Technologies, Markets and Competitive Environment
|
Drug delivery commands a sizeable proportion of the overall pharmaceutical market, approximately 15% or some US $109 billion in 2008. It is also expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall pharmaceutical market over the next 4 years. The reason? Extending patent life for existing drugs and offering new alternatives for delivery, in particular the peroral route. In all of this nanotechnology is a major enabler. This report provides a comprehensive overview of these new technologies and a market analysis of opportunities to 2012. It concludes with a description of emerging companies in this exciting and fast-developing field. |
