Cellectricon has announced its collaboration with the Harvard Medical School, the ICCB-Longwood Screening Facility (ICCB-L "). The Harvard Medical School (ICCB-L) will use the system Cellaxess (R) HT, the system for the transfection of high performance that enables the free supply of reagents for genetic material within a wide range of cell types important biological processes.

Some of the most important properties to consider in the processing of hydrocarbons:

Density
The density of crude oil and its fractions is expressed in terms of API gravity (° API) rather than the specific gravity. The relationship between the degree API and specific gravity is reversed, a higher specific gravity less º API, and therefore heavier crude.
Crude oil gravity ranges from values ​​lower than 10 º API to values ​​greater than 50 º API, but the most crude oils having a density between 20 and 45 degrees API.

Investigators from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the Research Center for Energy, Environment and Technology (CIEMAT) and the Catalan Institute for Water Research have developed the first method of analysis for the detection of drugs in the air. The system, described in Analytical Chemistry, a tool that can provide insight into the evolution of drug use in the population, quickly and anonymously using the samples collected by the network of air quality.

To develop the methodology, the team analyzed 17 compounds belonging to five classes of drugs (cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, cannabinoids and lysergic acid) in various air samples collected at two air quality stations in Barcelona and Madrid. In all samples found levels of cocaine and a cannabinoid, the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). In any case, the results, the researchers caution, are not representative of the whole city, because "at this early stage we have focused on fine-tune the methodology and therefore the samples are only very specific areas ", explains researcher Xavier Querol CSIC, one of the directors of the study.
