In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...

A microfluidic approach combines electric slip and viscoelastic forces to sort nanoscale particles, increasing the purity of synthetic beads and cell vesicles.

Crossflow (or tangential flow) filtration, in which the feed liquid passes both parallel and perpendicular to the membrane, allowing both retentate and permeate to be collected. Typical applications ...

The global food processing industry is increasingly dependent on separation, filtration and purification equipment. Used to help preserve the quality of food and extend shelf life, these elements are ...

One of the hydrogen economy's roadblocks to success is the hydrogen itself. Hydrogen needs to be purified before it can be used as fuel for fuel cells, but current methods are not very clean or ...

Rare earth elements are essential for modern technology, but their similar chemistry makes separation difficult and expensive ...

There are two types of enzymes produced by biological cells: one type of enzymes that are produced inside the cell and then secreted outside the cell for action, called extracellular enzymes. Most of ...
