Biolubricants are fluids created using vegetable oils and downstream esters. A number of plant oils have been used as biolubricants for decades. These include rapeseed oil, coconut, palm, and sunflower oils. These natural products have numerous benefits and can be easily recycled. They are also relatively inexpensive compared to petroleum and mineral oils, which are more expensive. Along with this, biolubricants have a low environmental impact, making them a more sustainable option. In recent years, biolubricants have become popular and competitive. The rise in oil prices, limited resources, and global climatic change have made eco-friendly lubricants more desirable. Furthermore, increased environmental sensitivity has resulted in renewed interest in the use of modified natural oils for non-edible purposes. Moreover, these biodegradable oils have the added benefit of helping lubricate in a sustainable way.

One of the most important processes in oil production is oxidation. This process can increase the oil's acidity, increase its viscosity, and cause it to degrade. The most popular vegetable oils are made from a triacylglycerol structure. The vegetable oil matrix consists of complex chains of fatty acids. Unsaturation functions as the active site for various oxidation reactions, making them particularly attractive for use in biolubricants.

Vegetable oils have several benefits over conventional petroleum oils. They are biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. Moreover, they are a better choice for some applications due to their high acidity and low melting points. As such, they can be an excellent alternative to synthetic lubricants. They are also considered more sustainable than other lubricants. Vegetable oils have poor thermal and oxidative stability. Vegetable oils contain acyl groups, which are oxidatively and thermally unstable. It is therefore important to select biolubricants with high flash points. For transportation purposes, biolubricants can also be used in jet engines. These fuels are more environmentally friendly than petroleum-based fuels and can reduce the amount of toxic emissions. They also have better fuel efficiency than fossil fuels. In December 2019, in collaboration with Neste, AT-Toute launched first industrial lubricant with alomost 100% bio-based content, AT Renewable Penetrating Lubricant globally.

                                                                                                         Label-Free Array Systems Label-free array systems are widely used in the drug discovery process by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. A system works on principle of optical interferometry, impedance-based assays, and refractive index to identify and validate new molecules as the possible drug candidates. Moreover, the system helps to reduce the cost and time for drug identification and validation process. In the past few years, label-free array systems have taken center stage as an effective research tool in all major clinical drug discovery processes. Label-free array systems comprises two types of biosensors, namely optical and impedance-based biosensors, including techniques such as bio-layer interferometry, isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, and others. Of which, surface plasmon resonance is the most commonly used technique. The main advantag

Cataract Surgery Devices have significantly improved over the years with rising emphasis on the safety of the patient and accuracy of the surgery

Image
                                                          Cataract Surgery Devices Cataract surgery involves replacing the natural lens of the eye with an intraocular lens. The condition causes a cloudy vision. The natural lens of the eye has become opaque. In order to correct this problem, a person may need this procedure. The surgery is commonly known as a lens replacement. Although it is not a traumatic procedure, it can be painful and requires several sessions. However, it is not the only option for this condition. A high-frequency ultrasound device is used during cataract surgery. The surgeon will remove the lens with the use of a suction device. The surgery can be done on the day of the procedure. A temporary prescription eye shield will help to recover faster. After the procedure, the patient will still need to wear glasses or contacts. One can even start a new activity right after the surgery. The process of recovery varies depending on the specific needs and the extent of the
