Researchers at the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) are using Linkam’s thermal analysis instrumentation to advance studies of crystallisation properties and chemical reactions in polar ice, providing information on the changing polar ecosystem.
Researchers detect cancer cells at an early stage of development via luminescent nanothermometers
A recent study undertaken at Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona, Spain, reveals that biolabelling through luminescence thermometry has the potential to detect cancer cells at an early stage of development, just by monitoring the temperature rise in the body, due to accelerated metabolic activities in abnormal cells.
The Linkam THMS600 stage was used by researchers at the university to study the fluorescence of the nanoparticles that are produced.
