Measuring Cholesterol Content for mRNA Vaccines
Cholesterol plays an essential role in the viral replication machinery and immune activation [1]. It is also used as part of the lipid adjuvants of mRNA vaccines, among others, and facilitates the entry of the vaccine into the human cell [2]. The Varipol B by SCHMIDT + HAENSCH is the ideal polarimeter for this analysis, which […]
Process Quality Control of Disinfectants
Food containers, but also vials or other containers, undergo a very important automatic disinfection process with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). For example, containers in medical use but even a simple yogurt container must be disinfected and cleaned before it is filled with contents. SCHMIDT + HAENSCH inline refractometers like the iPr-C2 monitor the quality of disinfection […]
