How a University of Mississippi researcher used electroglottography (EGG) and surface electromyography (sEMG) to find out how your chocolate preference is linked to your eating behavior.

The compact, lightweight way to record and analyze Human Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) data...

PowerLab and LabChart are being used in research for the ESA to help understand how our brains work in space.

Members of our research and support teams spent a day at Plato BioPharma honing their skills in pressure-volume surgery.

W e are pleased to congratulate the 2017 Delsys Prize winner: Dr. Mitsuhiro Hayashibe from Tohoku University in Japan.

Our flexible and accurate wireless products were the focus of an innovative workshop at JUIT in Solan, India.

Students explore illuminating new ways to use fruit fly larvae for neural research at the Drosophila Neurobiology course, at the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

James Elworthy, Multimedia Designer at ADInstruments and Kait Mikes, Biomedical Sales Engineer at ADInstruments, joined Dr Trevor Day on an intrepid journey to Mt. Everest Base Camp.

ADInstruments is proud to support the Delsys Prize for Innovation in Electromyography and we are pleased to congratulate this year’s winner: Dr. Max Ortiz Catalán from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.

For Damian Bailey, a Professor of Physiology and Biochemistry, the attraction of freediving is partly about discovering the limits of physical capability, but it is also about understanding one of the most important processes in the body - oxygen transport to the brain - and gaining unique insights that may help millions of people to live better and longer, disease-free lives.

This week we introduce you to Dr Kevin Evans, our fearless rock climber and Research Support Specialist working out of our Oxford office. Kevin was lucky enough to be able to combine his hobbies of adventure sports and climbing with his knowledge of physiology into a very interesting and energetic PhD.

Philip Carvil, a PhD student at KCL funded by the European Space Agency’s Science and technology Office (ESTEC), has been working with the Space Medicine Office at the European Astronaut Centre to develop and test a ‘loading’ SkinSuit for astronauts that aims to help mitigate some of the health problems they face in microgravity. Specifically, he is looking at how the SkinSuit can affect the spine “with the aim to attenuate spinal elongation in space and assist in preserving the spinal stabiliser muscles.”

When it comes to ‘maths that could transform lives,' it’s hard to go past recent work by cardiovascular pharmacologist Dr Manasi Nandi and mathematician Dr Philip Aston, who will be co-presenting an exhibit at the Science Museum entitled Cardiomorph. The exhibit is part of a festival clebrating the London Mathematical Society. Manasi and Philip head up a team of biologists and mathematicians who have collaborated to apply non-linear mathematics to blood pressure data in a completely novel way - with some surprising and potentially life-saving results.
