Our Switch to 100% Renewable Energy!

As part of our continued work to reduce our scope emissions, we made the decision to source 100% certified renewable energy on our Nottingham site.

This means that our electricity is generated purely from wind and hydro assets matched to Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs).

This choice has meant that every year on average we prevent 32 tCO2e from being produced. This is equivalent to planting over 1200 trees or taking seven petrol cars off UK roads every single year.

We recognise that our journey to reducing our environmental impact is ongoing, and whilst we have committed to sourcing renewable energy, we still endeavour to reduce the amount of energy we consume via improved internal practices.

ULT Freezer best practice: Keep the filter clean and unobstructed.

Introduction

Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) freezers are well known to be high consumers of energy. Holding set temperatures 90°C to 100°C colder than their environment will always require a significant amount of energy. In recent months, the rise in energy costs has further placed emphasis on lab equipment running costs and means by which energy can be conserved.

ULT freezer best practices are often promoted by individual organizations, manufacturers, insurers, and LEAF (the leading lab sustainability certification scheme). Although best practices are widely encouraged, very little quantified data exists outside of changing the set temperature of the ULT freezer from -80°C to -70°C.

By warming up, modern ULT freezer energy consumption will be reduced by 18-34% depending on the model, age, and condition of the unit. However, the energy cost of bad practice has rarely been quantified.

How to make chromatography more sustainable

Liquid chromatography as we know it, is not perceived as a “green” analytical method as up to now most analyses are performed using acetonitrile and other similar solvents, utilising relatively large dimension columns.

However there are a few possibilities to make chromatography a more “green” technique without compromising the performance of chromatographic separation.

In this webinar we will discuss different possibilities which should lead to a reduction of solvent consumption, for example by using smaller internal diameter columns and/or higher efficiency shorter columns.

Another direction to reduce the ecological footprint of chromatography is to switch to nontoxic mobile phases like bioethanol.

All these options will be thoroughly discussed along with their impact on the chromatography and regulatory compliance.

LGBT+ History Month - Alan Turing

Alan Turing is one of the most famous LGBT scientists in history.

He is best known for his work on artificial intelligence and code breaking in WWII, as well as his pioneering work in computer science.

Turing was a brilliant mathematician, who made significant contributions to the development of computers.

His work was instrumental in the development of computer science and helped form the foundation of modern computing.

During WWII, Turing worked at Bletchley Park, where he played a crucial role in cracking the German Enigma code. This allowed the Allies to intercept and decipher secret messages, giving them a significant advantage in the war.

His work at Bletchley Park is widely considered to have shortened the war by several years and saved countless lives.

Happy LGBT+ History Month!

The contributions of LGBT+ scientists are an integral part of history.

In the coming month, we'll be highlighting some of the most famous and influential scientists who have left a lasting mark.

Let's pay tribute to their remarkable achievements and the impact they've made on our world.

In addition to this, we will also be donating to the Notts LGBT+ Network, a fantastic organisation set up in Nottinghamshire that provides support and information to thousands of people in the county.

Happy Birthday to Nobel Prize Winner Gertrude B. Elion: Celebrating a Pioneering Career in Biochemistry and Pharmacology

In celebration of Gertrude B. Elion's Birthday!

Gertrude B. Elion was a renowned biochemist and pharmacologist who made significant contributions to the development of drugs to treat leukemia and other diseases.

She spent much of her career working at the Burroughs Wellcome Company, where she developed a number of important drugs, including the first purine antagonist used to treat leukemia, 6-mercaptopurine, and the first immunosuppressive agent, azathioprine.

These drugs were used to treat leukemia and other cancers, as well as to prevent rejection of transplanted organs.

Gertrude was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988, along with George Hitchings and Sir James Black, for their work on developing drugs that target specific enzymes and receptors.

Elion's work revolutionised the field of pharmacology and had a profound impact on the treatment of cancer and other diseases. She was also a dedicated mentor to young scientists and a strong advocate for women in science throughout her career.
