Beyond the attention war: How TECHNI’SENS secures research integrity and data reliability for international brands
While digital noise fragments consumers‘ attention, French research institute TECHNI’SENS integrates cognitive science to strengthen data integrity. With research showing that 10% to 12% of respondents can be considered inattentive depending on the detection methods used (Meade & Craig, 2012), TECHNI’SENS ensures that high-risk strategic decisions are based on relevant information rather than statistical noise. In today’s world of digital information overload, TECHNI’SENS combines knowledge from cognitive science and survey methodology to ensure data quality in consumer research. Faced with fragmented attention spans and consumer fatigue with surveys, particularly in online environments, the institute adapts its protocols to limit statistical noise and preserve the validity of decisions. The main objective…

Implementation of a bioanalytical control device for routine measurement of drug products at VelaLabs
Bioanalytical control of biological drug substances is performed at VelaLabs using new capillary electrophoresis sodium dodecyl sulphate (CE-SDS) and capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) technology for charge and size analysis. In 2025, VelaLabs (Vienna) performed multiple assay developments for monoclonal antibodies to analyse their size and charge – either reduced or non-reduced. The Maurice device from protein simple (ProteinSimple – Maurice) is a fully automated cartridge based imaged capillary electrophoresis system. It is a device which uses the technology of SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulphate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and IEF to analyse the size and charge of proteins. The Maurice uses a capillary system to separate biomolecules like antibodies, dependent on their size…
