Due to an increase in the abuse of synthetic insulins, doping laboratories require faster and more consistent testing options. The methodology to detect and confirm the presence of peptide hormones by mass spectrometry is preferred to the current use of immunoassays or other immuno-reactive techniques. This white paper explores and compares the different available methods, revealing the fastest and most accurate options for synthetic insulin detection.

Using a new low-cost, 3-D printed testing device, researchers found that e-cigarettes loaded with a nicotine-based liquid are potentially as harmful as unfiltered cigarettes when it comes to causing DNA damage.

About 60 volunteers went on 2.5 mile hikes through the British countryside, each wearing a sock on the outside of one shoe, to help a group of UK researchers survey the wild population of campylobacter microbes in the first outdoor survey of its kind.

A new family of multichannel electronic pipettes is closing the gap between traditional manual pipettes and robotic systems. This new video will provide you with an informative insight into how to improve your biological sample processing and collection.

Many people are familiar with the body's 24-hour biological clock that follows a circadian rhythm and regulates things like sleep and wake cycles. However less is known about the biological basis for a separate 12-hour clock that coordinates other bodily functions including body temperature, cognitive performance and blood pressure.

Flatworms that spent five weeks aboard the International Space Station are helping researchers to study how an absence of normal gravity and geomagnetic fields can have anatomical, behavioral, and bacteriological consequences, according to a new paper.

A new study is providing more clues to the origin and progression of the most frequent tumors including those of colon, lung and breast cancer.

While root canals are effective in saving a tooth that has become infected or decayed, this age-old procedure may cause teeth to become brittle and susceptible to fracture over time. Now researchers have developed a process by which they can engineer new blood vessels in teeth, creating better long-term outcomes for patients and clinicians.

Ken Shefveland's body was swollen with cancer, treatment after treatment failing until doctors gambled on a radical approach: They removed some of his immune cells, engineered them into cancer assassins and unleashed them into his bloodstream.

Epigenetic changes present at birth - in genes related to addiction and aggression - could be linked to conduct problems in children, according to a new study by King's College London and the University of Bristol.
