A new report shows that three widely used pesticides could jeopardize salmon. The pesticides are used on crops ranging from rice to corn and even cotton. Conservationist groups and the salmon industry are hoping the new opinion will help to push the EPA to ban the chemicals. Salmon have been waiting four decades for relief from toxic pesticides in many of our rivers. The agencies should do their job.

Merck's €300 million Korean plant brings biologics supplies closer to Asia-Pacific drugmakers

Merck's €300 million Korean plant brings biologics supplies closer to Asia-Pacific drugmakers

Merck has invested more than €300 million in a new bioprocessing production center in Daejeon, South Korea. It is the largest life science investment Merck has made in the region to date. The 44,500-square-meter facility makes cell culture media, process liquids and sterile sampling products to support biologics manufacturing from development through commercial supply.

  • 01A single Asia-Pacific site now supplies both small custom pre-GMP media and commercial-scale media, so a regional biologics program could scale without switching to a source outside the region.
  • 02Daejeon supplies cell culture media, process liquids, ready-to-use cleaning-in-place solutions and sterile sampling products.
  • 03The useful supplier question has moved past whether Merck has an Asia-Pacific plant: ask which product lines ship from Daejeon and what batch traceability data customers can see.

IndexBox sees replacements driving a third of quantum cascade laser shipments by 2030

IndexBox sees replacements driving a third of quantum cascade laser shipments by 2030

IndexBox projects the quantum cascade laser market to grow 8% to 12% a year through 2035, linking the outlook to faster adoption of mid-infrared spectroscopy in process control, environmental monitoring and pharmaceutical QA. It says QCLs win on high spectral brightness and room-temperature operation in compact form factors, and that the installed base of analytical instruments is growing.

  • 01Roughly one in three quantum cascade lasers shipped in 2030 is projected to replace equipment already in service, so maintenance calendars will set a growing share of demand.
  • 02For a plant or QA lab running QCL-based analyzers, the useful question is which laser maker sits inside each instrument and whether a second source exists.
  • 03Analyzers bought on a three-to-five-year cycle in 2026 come due between 2029 and 2031. Those years will show whether the forecast replacement wave turns up in real orders.
