Online rheometry comes of age
Rheology Solutions will be manufacturing an online rheometer developed by CSIRO Industrial Physics. The process control rheometer can be operated in an inline or online configuration and used to measure the viscoelastic properties of a process fluid in real time.

Combining clinical, laboratory and metabolic records with genomic data
An IT platform that can combine clinical, laboratory and metabolic information with high throughput genomic data about the same individual has been developed. By combining information in this way, researchers will be able to analyse the correlation between the gene expression profile in the blood of an individual and their risk of developing particular diseases.

World-first facility opens in Sydney
The world’s first elemental bio-imaging facility has officially opened at the University of Technology Sydney, focused on developing a novel metallomic imaging technique that accurately maps elements (such as trace metals) in biological tissues.
[ + ]Electrostatic detection technique for DNA and RNA microarrays
Dispersing a fluid containing thousands of electrically charged microscopic silica beads across the surface of a DNA microarray and then observing the Brownian motion of the spheres provides measurements of the electrical charges of the DNA molecules. These measurements can be observed and recorded with a simple handheld imaging device and used to interrogate millions of DNA sequences at a time.
