Mixing without side effects
The range of micromixers offered by IMM is also suitable for processes susceptible to fouling, especially in fine chemistry and pharmaceutics. The new „Interdigital-separation-layer-mixers" are replacing the present generation of „Separation-layer-mixers". The new mixer system has been adapted especially to industrial... view more...

Successful Huygens test: last before separation
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its sixteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 23 November 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year. The preliminary analysis of... view more... (2004-11-23)

Improved Method for Separation of Organic Isomers
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Inorganic Chemistry have devised a novel method for separating polar organic compounds, providing a useful alternative to the usual methods of chromatography or crystallisation. The separation of mixtures of organic and inorganic compounds is of considerable importance in most areas of industrial... view more... (2003-02-11)

Huygens test successful
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its fifteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 14 September 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last but one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year, and it included some... view more... (2004-09-17)

Hanover Trade Fair 2003: Zigzag for the maximum µ-concentration
The dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip as µ-concentrator for reliable analyses Developed jointly by the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) and NorChip AS, the µ-concentrator is particular suitable for application in biomedical diagnostics. Using DEP, this chip enables the highly efficient separation and concentration of polarisable... view more... (2003-04-07)

On chip separation: large molecules pass the speed camera first
What molecule or particle passes the finishline first? A good way to split a fluid sample into its separate parts is: organize a contest in a micro-channel. The largest parts will pass the optical detector first, the smaller ones follow at short distance. This principle of 'hydrodynamic chromatography' is now also possible on a chip. 'On-chip'... view more... (2002-12-10)

New magnetic separation technique might detect multiple pathogens at once
A magnetic separation technique developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Purdue University makes it relatively simple to sort through beads hundreds of times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.   view more (2007-10-30)

NJIT professor discovers better way to desalinate water
Chemical engineer Kamalesh Sirkar, PhD, a distinguished professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and an expert in membrane separation technology, is leading a team of researchers to develop a breakthrough method to desalinate water.   view more (2006-02-10)

New technique improves purity of medicines
Dutch researcher Roelof Mol has investigated possibilities for more accurately determining the composition of medicines. He came up with a combination of two techniques that were previously considered to be incompatible: the separation technique electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) and the detection technique mass spectroscopy (MS).   view more (2007-10-25)

That picture in your wallet may relieve stress
A research group at the Babraham Institute has found that the sight of a friendly face can reduce stress in sheep. This discovery, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, could point to the reason that many of us carry pictures of loved ones in our wallets or handbags.   view more (2004-09-06)

Advances in the Separation of Nucleosides
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Inorganic Chemistry have devised a method for the selective separation and recovery of nucleoside phosphates from complex reaction mixtures using Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) materials. Nucleoside phosphates are used extensively in industry as intermediates or additives in nutraceutical and... view more... (2003-02-11)

Recycling: more than just a word
Recycling of plastics is a troublesome business. If they are shredded and melted down together the end products are often relatively worthless materials; this is known in the trade as "downcycling". If plastics are broken down into their constituent parts in the refining process, the products obtained are simply ones which can be made more cheaply... view more... (1998-11-20)

University of Pennsylvania engineers discover natural 'workbench' for nanoscale construction
Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have taken a step toward simplifying the creation of nanostructures by identifying the first inorganic material to phase separate with near-perfect order at the nanometer scale.   view more (2007-07-18)

Beagle 2 Information Note: Next Stop Mars!
We have separation! That was the message from the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, to announce that the British-built Beagle 2 spacecraft is now flying independently from its Mars Express "mother ship". Initial confirmation that the separation manoeuvre has been successful came at 10.42 GMT, when Mars... view more... (2003-12-19)
