- Lab-on-a-chip products (Microfluidic Chip Technology) (3.2008)
- Developed in the early 90's of the last century from some vague ideas and concepts, microfluidic devices, though still in their "teens", may revolutionise many bioanalytical or molecular biological applications in the near future. ... more
- Plasticware (2.2008)
- Charts showing the annual plastic production since the beginning of the 20th century are impressive. Almost flat until 1950 the production-curve has taken off like a rocket in the seventies to reach nearly 250 million tons today.

- Thermocyclers (1.2007)
- Thermal cyclers are getting faster and faster every year. Actually, that's not the only thing they have in common with formula one racing cars.
