Clinical toxicology screening: expanding the capability of highresolution mass spectrometry

High-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical tool for clinical and forensic toxicology. It is capable of screening and confirming the presence of drugs and toxic compounds in various biological matrices. Using high-resolution MS/MS libraries helps to increase reporting confidence, verifies compound identification and reduces reporting of false-positive results.

Diagnosis of acute hepatic porphyria

The acute porphyrias are a group of rare genetic metabolic disorders of the heme biosynthesis pathway, that result in the toxic accumulation of porphyrin precursors, notably porphobilinogen and delta-aminolevulinic acid. This article provides an overview of the biochemistry and the diagnosis of acute hepatic porphyria, which is crucial to managing this condition appropriately, preventing and […]

Potential breakthrough in early diagnosis of HPV16 cancers

The link between human papillomaviruses (HPVs) as the causal agents of anogenital warts and most incidences of cervical cancer has been longestablished, and it is in this background that the vaccine against HPV has been developed. However, more recently, HPV has also been found to be responsible for the increasing incidence and death from head, […]

lab4you: opportunity for young scientists

lab4you

Shimadzu, one of the world leaders in analytical instrumentation, is inviting young scientists from all over Europe for to apply for laboratory bench space for their own research work as part of the lab4you student program.

In the “Shimadzu Laboratory World” at the European headquarters in Duisburg, Germany, they have the opportunity to pursue their creative research approaches and use state-of-the-art laboratory equipment to produce results. The latest analytical equipment from HPLC/UHPLC, SFC and GC as well as mass spectrometry, MALDI, spectroscopy (UV, IR, FTIR, ICP) and materials testing technology are available on 1,500 square meters, ensuring the best analytical results.

The lab4you program is affiliated with the Shimadzu European Innovation Center. It brings together business and academia and works with universities across Europe to develop new analytics solutions for tomorrow, that is, new methods, instruments, techniques and software solutions.

Apply here

Interested scientists can apply by October 31, 2021 at www.shimadzu.eu/lab4you with a short abstract of their research work in English. Laboratory space will be available for the duration of the research project. Requirements for participation in the lab4you program are a degree in the natural sciences, an inspiring research topic and prior knowledge of analytical technology. The program is aimed at master’s and doctoral students as well as post-docs from all scientific fields in which analytical instrumentation or materials testing technology play a role. An internal jury will select the successful applicant.
