Spende

Die Stefan-Morsch-Stiftung hat es sich zum Ziel gemacht, Blutkrebspatienten und deren Angehörigen zur Seite zu stehen. Sie führen nicht nur eine Stammzellspenderdatei und suchen nach passenden Stammzellspendern, sondern helfen bei der Vermittlung von Kliniken, beraten Patienten und vergibt im Notfall die sogar finanzielle Hilfen. Die gemeinnützige Stiftung fördert Forschungsvorhaben und den Aufbau von Transplantationskliniken.

Einer unserer Mitarbeiter, Leo Engel, hat sich als Spender registrieren lassen und kürzlich seine Stammzellen gespendet. Dieses außergewöhnliche Engagement von Leo und die großartige Arbeit der Stiftung möchten wir unterstützen, indem wir die Kosten für den Verdienstausfall bei dieser Aktion spenden.

Wir sollten alle ernsthaft darüber nachdenken, uns registrieren zu lassen.

The Stefan Morsch Foundation is supporting blood cancer patients and their relatives. They not only keep a stem cell donor file and search for suitable stem cell donors, but also help to find clinics, advise patients and even provide financial help in an emergency. The non-profit foundation supports research projects and the development of transplant clinics.

One of our employees, Leo Engel, registered as a donor and recently donated his stem cells. We would like to support Leo's extraordinary commitment and the foundation's great work by donating the costs of the loss of earnings during this procedure.

We should all seriously consider registering.

New GC-QQQ and GC-FID Analytics

LAUS always strives to apply the latest technology. Our Agilent 7000E triple quadrupole GC/MS (GC-QQQ) or alternatively GC-FID opens new dimensions with regard to limit of detection and limit of quantification (LOD and LOQ) for certain substances. And our study director is looking forward to new challenges😊

>1.000 t/a
>100 t/a within the Aquatic Acute 1 and Aquatic Chronic 1 Category (H400, H410) acc. to CLP
1 t/a within the Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, and Reprotoxic Category 1A and 1B acc. to CLP

31 Dec 2028:

>100 t/a

Nanomaterials and REACh Technical Day

Hugo Giardini, LAUS Business Development Manager, will be representing our services at the “Nanomaterials and REACh Technical Day” on 7 December 2023 in Paris. Come and talk to him if you have any upcoming nano-related project, we have quite some experience in the area of nanomaterial testing for REACH. Or simply pick up some m&m’s 😊

Genotoxicity testing of Nanomaterials calls for individual Approaches

For Genotoxicity testing of Nanomaterials there are specific requirements detailed in the REACH Appendix R7-1 for nanoforms:

the dispersion of the nanomaterial should be monitored to ensure that the cells are exposed to a sufficient effective dose under in vitro conditions
it is highly advised to verify the cellular uptake by appropriate methods

During the last months we have put a lot of thoughts and research into this topic. We have successfully developed an appropriate approach for our current projects.

As there is a huge diversity in nanomaterials, each test item calls for an individual experimental methodology. So if genotoxicity testing of nanomaterials is something you are concerned with, we would be more than happy to share our experience and discuss a specific strategy for you.

LAUS helps funding the new refrigerated delivery vehicle of Tafel Edenkoben

The volunteers at Tafel Edenkoben (food bank) are doing great work supplying many people in need not only with food but also with furniture, clothes and toys. A new refrigerated delivery vehicle has been acquired in order to transport cooled goods. Funding was made possible by advertisements on the autobody. We at LAUS gladly support their work with an advertisement.

Among our newest equipment is a brand-new BBQ. Find out what else!

To the delight of our staff the latest addition to our technical equipment is a brand-new BBQ (on top of a GC-MS/MS and another LC-MS/MS, of course). Whereas the BBQ is for internal use only (and has been inaugurated already), the GC-MS/MS (Triple Quadrupole) and LC-MS/MS (Triple Quadrupole) are ready to use and waiting for new analytical challenges. If you have any analytical work on difficult substances to do, contact us to discuss our possibilities.

We use Human Blood for Genotoxicity Testing acc. to OECD 487

The Micronucleus Assay is an in vitro study to evaluate the mutagenicity/genotoxicity induced by chemical substances:

OECD 487 In Vitro Mammalian Cell Micronucleus Test

detection of micronuclei in the cytoplasm of interphase cells
test system: human lymphocytes freshly obtained by venipuncture

We have increased our capacities and can offer good timelines!

We believe that technology and sustainability go hand in hand

Our new LC-MS/MS (Waters Xevo TQ Absolute Triple Quadrupole) guarantees accurate results while reducing environmental impact. The system's reduced energy consumption and use of resources (synthetic air) make it a good choice for labs looking to minimize their carbon footprint. Paired with our highly qualified study directors this makes us a strong partner for your analytical work under GLP.

Specific testing for Biocidal Spray Products

For Biocidal Spray Products we offer specific analyses in addition to the standard requirements for biocides:

spray pattern
internal pressure of spray cans
discharge rate
clogging

The tests could be integrated into stability studies such as shelf life, accelerated or cold storage.
