ELGA, the global labwater brand of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, the world’s leading water technology and service company, has received two new awards and a ‘Scientists Choice’ nomination.

The PURELAB flex has won two GOLD awards, one for Industrial Product Design and a second for Materials Innovations. And the PURELAB Pulse has been nominated as SelectScience's “Scientist Choice” by its readers.

ELGA’s innovative, integrated approach to design has paid off when it recently won two Gold Awards for the PURELAB flex water purification systems at the dba Design Effectiveness Awards held on 17 February 2011. Steve Bryant, Global Product Manager at ELGA commented ‘the PURELAB flex is a great example of how both user consultation and the latest in industrial design can deliver award winning results.”

The dba Design Effectiveness Awards are the only awards that take the commercial success of products and services into account in the judging process. The Judging Panel is made up of leading organisations and this year included senior marketers from top companies such as GlaxoSmithkline, BBC, Marie Curie, EDF Energy and HSBC.

And ELGA’s accolades have not stopped there. The PURELAB Pulse, ELGA’s unique recirculation EDI (Pulse) water purification system has been nominated by the scientific community of SelectScience for a ‘Scientists Choice Award’. The Scientists’ Choice Awards are the laboratory industry’s award to provide the online scientific community with a channel to celebrate new technologies. The awards were based on the results of an independent poll, where more than 20,000 international scientists from the SelectScience online community were invited to nominate and vote for their favourite new products.

Assay AssemblyAssay Assembly is technique used in drug discovery to develop assays to test the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, or other activities of a compound on a cell. Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Water PurificationThere are a number of water purification methods available to remove contamination from laboratory water. These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.
