The pharmaceutical sector commited to technology to reduce the environmental footprint of covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic seems to have entered its final stage, with fortunately very low numbers, both hospitalized and deceased. Its impact, however, is not limited to the health and social sphere. The massive use of medicines and sanitary material (wipes, gloves or disposable masks) is one of the most devastating side effects of COVID-19 due to its environmental damage when its waste goes to ...

A Difficult Needle to Thread
Do you know what it’s like to wake up in a different stranger’s house every morning? To open your eyes and immediately feel extremely uncomfortable, alarmed, unsafe, out of place, lost, dizzy, like your world is the most upside-down it’s ever been? Do you remember what it was like to be a kid tagging along to the grocery store with your parents? One second ...

Needlestick Injury - the pointy end of a preventable pandemic
The Challenge Every 60 minutes, of every day, six people suffer a needlestick injury somewhere in the world. Every day, 3 people die as a result of those injuries[1]. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports in the World Health Report 2002, that of the 35 million health-care workers world wide, two million experience percutaneous exposure to infectious diseases each year[2]. WHO estimates ...

Investigation into the Feasibility of a 2 mL Needle-Free Injector
The current paradigm of injectable drug delivery has stagnated since the early 2000s. Despite recent innovations, like the launch in Europe of the first electromechanical reusable and connected auto-injector (UCB’s CIMZIA ava Connect® in early 2021), almost all new biologic drugs are launched with specific and undifferentiated self-injection options: a spring-based ...

Iterations of Portal`s Needle-Free Drug Delivery
Innovations and Iterations In the consumer tech world, iterations happen very fast, though most inventions are not ‘one and done’ masterpieces: the Dyson cyclone vacuum cleaner made 5,127 prototypes. In the medical device world, development takes longer because of the appropriate and necessary regulations and need for safety. Using an agile approach, but with safety and reliability ...

The Differences between Laboratory Syringe Pump and Medical Infusion Pump
Laboratory Syringe Pumps Laboratory syringe pumps are testing equipment for scientific research experiments. Lab syringe pumps are also used in industrial manufacturing processes. The dosing rate is controlled by a step motor inside the syringe pump. A good example of the laboratory syringe pumps is the Chemyx Fusion 4000 and Chemyx Fusion 6000. Laboratory syringe pumps also have many more ...

The race to a vaccine - unintended consequences?
A gold rush is on to find a vaccine for COVID-19. According to the World Health Association (WHO) in early May, there are more than 100 projects around the world centered on the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus. Eight candidate vaccines are already being tested in people in clinical trials. Once an effective vaccine (or vaccines) has been identified, it will need to be produced ...

Syringe Sampling for Counting Particles in Fluids
Before measuring particles in fluid, consider the method for delivering the sample fluid to the particle counter. For unpressurized fluid sources, the choices available depend on the sample fluid. Water provides the greatest range of options, while fluorinated chemistries such as HF can significantly restrict the options. Compatibility of the wetted surfaces with the sampling fluids will help you ...

Syringe Sampling for Counting Particles in Fluids
Abstract A syringe sampler represents the simplest delivery system for precisely delivering a sample to the particle counter. The precision motion of the syringe drive produces a steady flow of fluid that is free of pulsations that are typical of most pumps suitable for chemical delivery. An overview of the syringe sampling system is ...

Chemyx Syringe Pumps in Neuroscience Research
Introduction The classical field of neuroscience entails biological or psychological investigation of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and the systemic network of sensory nerve cells called neurons.1 Traditionally, this field comprised of purely biological studies but has since flourished into an interdisciplinary sphere addressing the developmental, physiological, ...

Troubleshooting injection volume variation in the Concurrent Solvent Recondensation – Large Volume Sample Injection Technique
I’ve started receiving a number of questions about the large volume injection technique called Concurrent Solvent Recondensation – Large Volume Sample Injection. Most recently, a question came through the Tech Service group about injection volume variation. I had encountered a similar problem when working on the 50 µL injection for the combined 1,4-Dioxane and Nitrosamines (EPA ...

Healthcare in Crisis: Workplace Safety at Hospitals
Not long ago, I spent an extended time in the hospital with my father. As I stayed by his side, I was surprised to see how many potential workplace hazards and possible near-miss injuries hospital employees faced. The staff was looking out for my father’s safety, but I wondered if they were thinking about their own safety as well. We count on physicians, nurses and healthcare assistants to ...

Testing care-giver acceptance of new syringe technologies
The research design and empirical results of an exploratory study are reported of an experiment to estimate care-giver (n = 29) acceptance of alternative syringe technologies. The experiment included five independent factors four syringe technologies in four sizes (1, 2, 3, and 5 ccs), offered by four manufacturers, and sold by two distributors at five prices; an orthogonal, fractional factorial ...
