Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (Waltham, MA) announces that the China Doping Control Center (CDCC) has selected Thermo Scientific instruments and software for its sports testing program at the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing. The CDCC has been accredited by the Chinese government and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to conduct all doping control analyses during the 2008 Olympic Games.

Millipore Corporation (Billerica, Massachusetts) announced its initiative to provide "Stem Cell Tested" products. Many of Millipore's filter products will be validated for use on stem cells. Millipore's Stericup with Express PLUS membrane is the first available under this initiative. After filtering media through a Stericup with Express PLUS membrane, stem cells are passaged five times and tested for pluripotency with no negative effect.

Matthew Meselson, a Harvard molecular biologist whose famous experiment substantiated the double-helix structure of DNA, has won the Lasker Award for Special Achievement in Medical Science.

Two separate research groups claimed to have made a 12-membered nitrogen-containing ring of a class of molecules called annulenes.

BMC Pediatrics reports on a study characterizing total homocysteine (tHcy) levels at birth in preterm and term infants and identifing associations with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and other neonatal outcomes such as mortality, sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and thrombocytopenia.

A new report, "Biomarkers, The Expanding Global Market," by Piribo predicts that mass spectrometry will play a decisive role in accelerating protein biomarker research.

The American Chemical Society's Division of Analytical Chemistry will dedicate a symposium on Interdisciplinary Analytical Chemistry at Pittcon 2008.

KDP (long-chain dipalmitate exter of kojic acid) was recently introduced to resolve skin pigment issues resulting from age spots.

Gerald Drager and colleagues from University of Hannover in Leibniz, Germany, have developed a system that enables immobilization and purification of enzymes in the same reactor, which can then be used for a variety of enzymatic syntheses. Using this technique it is possible to obtain ready-to-use enzyme reactors from crude protein mixtures within minutes.

A correction will be published in Angewandte Chemie for the MS paper presented by Fredric Menger at Emory University in Atlanta.

A study is just beginning in Brisbane, Australia using a mobile gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detected by a breath scanner.

The Journal of Chemical Physics reports that researchers are aiming to selectively ionize molecules for mass spectrometry.

Italian and American researchers have employed a new approach for studying the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Indian researchers are studying the affects that EPA and DHA (together known as Omega-3), the two main long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids found in oily fish and shellfish, may have had on the brain development of prehistoric ancestors.

Natural Products Insider repots that 58 sports supplements have been tested using various chromatography methods, including GC., to test for steroids and stimulants.

The latest research, published as an early view article in Analytical Chemistry, shows that scientists in the Department of Analytical Sciences at Amgen have used a combination of techniques?affinity chromatography, high resolution mass spectrometry, and a derivitisation procedure?to simplify the analysis of post-translational modification of the core of proteins and monoclonal antibodies.

Emeritus Professor Klaus Biemann has received the 2007 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry for developing the chemical analysis tool of mass spectrometry and using it to determine the structure of complex molecules of chemical, biological and medical interest.

A new study by Frost & Sullivan shows that the liquid chromatography (LC) market in the U.S. will grow from an estimated $596.3 million in 2006 to $1.018 billion by 2013, thanks to increasing interest and use from both the commercial and research communities.
