INTEGRA Biosciences AG has announced that as a result of the recent merger with Viaflo the two companies will adopt a new corporate brand - INTEGRA.
"The recent merger between Integra Biosciences AG of Switzerland and Viaflo Corporation of the US has created a strong corporate entity that develops, manufactures, sells and services a wide variety of innovative laboratory products to over 90 countries” said Elmar Morscher, the CEO of Integra Biosciences, in a statement.
“The focal point of the combined worldwide business is liquid-handling solutions; both represented as instrumentation and consumables designed primarily for the life sciences marketplace. The wide range of complimentary products produced by the two companies, along with numerous exciting new product additions planned for 2010, will be repositioned under the new corporate brand INTEGRA.
“The INTEGRA brand will replace existing brands within the combined businesses and will represent a clear direction of a company that has merged the best of the old with a singular and simple goal of producing new innovative and high value liquid-handling products for the future."
A website for the brand has been set up, it incorporates the complete range of products from both companies, provides visitors with direct access to a source of information and news and provides rapid access to an expanding applications database and scientific reports bibliography.

SPE-Based Method for Detecting Harmful Textile Residues
January 14th 2025University of Valencia scientists recently developed a method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC–HRMS/MS) for detecting microplastics and other harmful substances in textiles.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
