What Makes Your Laboratory Unique? Your people, your protocols, the work you do to change the world - and the instruments and equipment that help you to reach your goals. You shouldn't have to fit your workflows around standard equipment. Your Equipment should be adaptable to you, while operating within the safety, performance, and compliance parameters that your work requires. In short, your laboratory equipment should work the way you do.

Everything in moderation - at least when it comes to alcohol - has been the takeaway from a litany of studies touting the health benefits of drinking. But a new meta-analysis claims that these studies are skewed.

Advances in technology are pushing the limits of sample throughput for qPCR, ELISAs, and many other core biological assays. This has the potential to greatly improve lab efficiency but also create process bottlenecks if not managed correctly. With the proper tools, scientists can tackle the greater number of samples and the levels of repetition this sample processing requires, while ensuring reproducibility of their results.

With the requirement to increase testing of agricultural and food products for the presence of aflatoxins, reliable and convenient testing methods that utilize readily available standard laboratory tools are in demand. For the general laboratory, newer technologies for aflatoxin analysis may be financially unattainable. This app note focuses on the innovative method developed to accurately test aflatoxins using general equipment.

Think your DNA is all human? Think again. And a new discovery suggests it's even less human than scientists previously thought.

When he was a teenager, Lee Gonzales could not save his uncle from a heroin overdose. Now he worries that the same drug could kill him after he gets out of jail.

An international team used a selective amplification technique to sequence the genomes of two divergent parasite species from miniscule volumes of chimpanzee blood to find clues about the evolution and pathogenicity of Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite that affects people.
