Quantum Design UK and Ireland proudly present this inaugural issue of our ‘NextGen BioTools’ magazine, dedicated to showcasing the forefront of high-tech scientific instrumentation for life science and biomedical research. In a world where precision, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration drive progress, our aim is to highlight the tools, techniques, and success stories that are redefining what’s possible in biological discovery.
In these pages, you’ll find insights and inspiration from leading researchers and organisations who are shaping the future of science. We feature an interview with Professor Hans Arwin, a world authority in spectroscopic ellipsometry, who shares his perspectives on how optical characterisation continues to push the boundaries of materials and life science research.
We also delve into the expanding field of correlative microscopy for the life sciences, exploring how advanced imaging technologies are providing scientists with unprecedented clarity and context to unravel biological complexity. A case study from the Swedish Geological Survey demonstrates the power of cross-disciplinary instrumentation in understanding the natural world, while a spotlight on Boston Scientific reveals how cutting-edge tools are accelerating breakthroughs in biomedical device innovation.
Through these stories, Quantum Design UK and Ireland celebrates the instruments and ideas empowering the next generation of discovery.
