NanoSight launches new super-sensitive nanoparticle characterization system, the LM10-HS
Amesbury, UK, January 2009 - NanoSight, the UK nanoparticle characterization company, announces the release of a new super-sensitive system to compliment their range of instruments for imaging and sizing nanoparticles in liquid suspension. The system utilizes EMCCD camera technology (Electron Multiplication Charge Coupled Device) which has improved the sensitivity of the standard Nanosight system by a factor of x100. In practical terms, this means that the lower limit of detection for a particular particle type has been improved by a factor of two when compared to the standard LM10 system.

NanoSight nanoparticle detection technique contributes to virus production to counter MRSA
Salisbury, UK, November 2008 - Virus particle detection and counting using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis is providing essential information for researchers at the University of Strathclyde’s Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS). This team develops methods to employ naturally-occurring bacteriophages to combat MRSA and other bacteria. MRSA or Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a variation of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, which has developed resistance to most antibiotics, making it difficult to treat and potentially deadly. Whilst the “Superbug” can be killed with detergents, detergent dilution and application is often inconsistent and ineffective, hence the bacteriophage route.
