Asynt adds overhead stirring to PressureSyn for more demanding high-pressure chemistry

The updated modular PressureSyn introduces an optional overhead stirring manifold, addressing a limitation of magnetic stirring in demanding high-pressure reactions: as viscosity or solids content increases, magnetic coupling can lose consistent contact with the stir bar, leading to unreliable mixing.

An approved Ebola antibody may miss its mark against Bundibugyo virus

Researchers analyzed 44 Bundibugyo virus genomes and modeled how approved and experimental Ebola antibodies might bind the virus’s glycoprotein. The models predicted disrupted binding for Ebanga, conserved targets for MBP134, and different binding behavior for the complete Inmazeb cocktail than for two of its antibodies alone; laboratory tests are needed to determine whether these findings translate into treatment benefit.
