Cord blood is the blood that is left post-delivery in the placenta and umbilical cord. Cord blood is collected from umbilical cord just after the child is born. It is a rich source of stem cells, which have the ability to differentiate into a range of cell types. Cord blood banking services involve the collection of cord blood and cryogenically freezing the stem cells, as well as other immune system cells, so that they can be preserved for medical uses in future.

Akin to other industries, healthcare too is going digital. Actually; data analytics, software-based technology, cloud computing, and IoT (Internet of Things) are set to transform ‘life sciences’ like never before

Medical electrodes function by transferring the ionic current energy of the body into electrical current that can be amplified and examined for diagnosis of various cardiac, ocular, nervous, and muscular diseases. Medical electrodes play a vital role in providing ideal electrical contact between the patient and apparatus/device used to record or measure activity. Medical electrodes contain lead, metal, and electrode-conducting paste or gel. 

Advanced gastrointestinal drug eluting stents (DES) were introduced in the market to overcome certain disadvantages such as restenosis and neo-intimal hyperplasia associated with the first generation stents namely, bare metal and plastic stents. In addition, a paradigm shift from conventional invasive procedures to minimally invasive procedures is fueling the demand for GI stents. Thus, DES is widely used since it supports minimally invasive procedures.

The human body is a vast maze of cells and tissues, each performing a vital function. In an animal body, there are four basic types of tissues - epithelium, connective tissue, nervous tissue and muscle tissue. While in case of plants, the four basic tissue types are dermal tissue, vascular tissue, ground tissue and meristematic tissue. Cells are broadly classified into two types - prokaryotic and eukaryotic.

Nowadays, everyone, be it man or woman, teenager or adult, is focused on keeping their skin glowing and fresh. You might have seen advertisements about anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle creams and lotions on the television. This is a burgeoning industry right now, as manufacturers have managed to strike a chord with consumers through their attractive product features. However, there are products that may cause more harm than good for the skin. 

Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, is an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan and is a gooey, clear substance which is produced naturally by the human body. It is mostly found in the skin, eyes and connective tissues, and its main objective is to keep human tissues moist and well lubricated. It is distributed throughout epithelial, connective and neural tissues. Majority of the consumers use it as a supplement, but it can also be used in topical serums, injections and eye drops.

You might have heard sportspersons saying, “I would not miss this match for my life!” Well, what would happen if this match is just a couple of weeks or a month away, and this sportsperson gets injured? Straight to the doctor’s table he goes, where the whole fitness team tries to get him/her ready for the game. Today, the expansion in research and technology fields is so rapid that medicines are witnessing a revolutionary development each day, and more so in the field of games and sports.

Tourniquets are mechanical devices that are used during surgeries for temporary control of blood circulation. Multiple research studies have revealed that commercially available tourniquet systems can be effective in the management of uncontrolled, life-threatening extremity hemorrhage

The demand for aerosol products is expected to be driven by the rising consumption of personal care products such as deodorants, hair sprays, hair mousses and shaving foams. 

The market for anti-counterfeit packaging is expected to be driven by the increasing efforts of the manufacturers across application industries towards ensuring the authenticity of their products. Increasing demand for such packaging to monitor and secure the products through the supply chain is expected to drive the industry growth.

The Infrastructure is a very important aspect for any country and the people living in it. Moreover, building whether it may be residential, commercial, public or institutional plays a very pivotal role in the life of the people. Concrete is the single most widely used construction material used in the world. 5% of the global annual CO² production is from production of concrete. 

Fiberglass pipe is a composite used as an alternative to traditional pipes such as Poly vinyl chloride (PVC), concrete, and steel, which fail to meet the changing consumer requirements in applications such as oil & gas, chemicals, sewage, aviation, renewables, and irrigation. Raw materials used in the production of fiberglass pipes include various types of resins, glass fibers, catalysts, accelerators, and additives. 

Glass scintillator is a material that constitutes of lithium silicate along with activated cerium. It has ability to detect high intensity gamma radiation, which is mostly radiated during the operation of nuclear power plant. The primary raw materials that are utilized during the production of glass scintillator include lithium silicate, cerium, and other chemicals.

Green or sustainable constructions typically adopt green building materials. These materials are popular due to their customer & eco-friendly properties. They have lesser operating & maintenance costs

Composites are made up of two different materials exhibiting different properties. In fact, the new material counteracts each of the earlier materials’ weaknesses and hence, is more useful than the individual components. The high performance composites value chain comprises raw material suppliers, manufacturers, distribution channels, and the end-users. The major materials used in the manufacturing of these composites are carbon fiber, boron, epoxy resin, and phenol.

In recent years, the world has been facing serious issues such as shortage of energy supply, climate change, and fluctuating energy costs. Energy conservation has become the name of the game, and this fact is not lost on organizations and institutions. It is widely accepted that as the prices of basic raw materials go on increasing, the costs of energy consumption are also going to increase. 

Welding products are consumables such as flux and fillers used in the welding process. The filler material is melted to join metal strongly and flux is widely used to generate gas protection around the weld pool to prevent hot metals from oxidation. These products join materials, such as metals or thermoplastics by fusion, unlike joining techniques such as brazing and soldering.

1,4 butanediol (BDO), also termed as 1,4-butylene glycol or butane-1,4-diol, is an organic compound that is primarily utilized in the production of plastics, fibers, and solvents. It is a versatile chemical intermediate that possesses excellent durability, strength and thermal stability.

Does the term ‘agar-agar gum’ ring a bell for you? If it does not, well, in the near future, it definitely will. It is a gelatinous polysaccharide used in food products that is well-known amongst the vegetarian and vegan crowd, as shifting lifestyle choices across the globe has prompted various substitutes for animal-based items such as gelatin in the food industry. Gelatin, once highly popular and a crucial ingredient for baked goods, desserts, confectionaries and similar items, is now considered by many as “non-vegetarian” since it is derived from animal sources.
