Agilent Technologies (California, USA) is to collaborate with the University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research (Brisbane, Australia) to further understanding of the genomic differences governing oral cancer. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, oral cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer worldwide.

Oral potentially malignant lesions (OPMLs) are visibly altered precursors of many oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs), but the reason for the transition is not known. The researchers involved hope to implement next-generation sequencing and data analysis to identify the molecular basis of the transition and therefore open up new targets for therapeutic drugs. Camile Farah, Head of the Oral Oncology Research Programme, said: "Our collaboration and support from Agilent will accelerate our work in this important area of clinical research."

Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
