British developed purple transgenic tomatoes can be anti-cancer anti-diabetes

Genetically modified foods have long been a topic of debate. To change the public's negative perception, British scientists have been working on a special type of purple tomato. This genetically modified variety contains high levels of anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant known for its ability to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and offer other health benefits. Since 2014, researchers in the UK have been focusing on this project, aiming to develop a more nutritious and appealing version of the tomato. The purple tomatoes are not only rich in nutrients but have also been successfully cultivated on a large scale in Canada, showing great potential for future use. Recently, a batch of these tomatoes was processed into 1,200 liters of juice, which was then sent to Novartis in the UK for further scientific evaluation. This step marks an important milestone in the research process, as it allows experts to study the long-term effects of consuming these genetically modified tomatoes. The project began at the John Innes Research Centre, where scientists led by Professor Martin worked to extract specific genes from snapdragons and insert them into regular tomatoes. This genetic modification enables the tomatoes to produce anthocyanins naturally, giving them their distinctive purple color. These compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and blood sugar-regulating properties, making them a promising addition to the human diet. As research continues, the hope is that these purple tomatoes could not only improve public opinion about GM foods but also offer real health benefits to consumers around the world.

CaF2 Drilled Window

Single crystal Calcium Fluoride Lenses or Calcium fluoride windows are ideal for high performance imaging and laser systems.

Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) is an optical grade glass which has an extensive transmission range from UV, visible and IR. Especially, Calcium fluoride has a high transmittance from 200nm to 7μm. The transmittance of uncoated Calcium Fluoride window can up to 94% due to its low absorption and low index of refraction.

We offers high precision and quality caf2 window with cost-benefit price as well as stable supply ability. Dimensions and shape depends on your project, CaF2 drilled window, Caf2 Irregular Window could be customize.  Meanwhile, experienced engineer could advise you professional advices according to your applications, drawing is aslo available.
Besides CaF2 window, other Infrared Window such as Zinc Selenide windows, CaF2 window, sapphire window and other High Precision Optical Glass Window are available upon request.
