  • Five Ways to Improve the Workflow and Financial Health of the Laboratory

    Friday, September 25, 2015
    Henry Ford quipped, “There are no big problems; there are just a lot of little problems.” In the laboratory, everyday “little” problems can be costly. Best practices for improving workflow and financial performance are given below. Read More
  • Raising Raman’s Bar

    Friday, September 18, 2015
    A sample’s Raman spectrum provides information about molecular vibrations that can identify and quantify the chemicals in a material. Read More
  • New Currents in Viscometry

    Wednesday, September 16, 2015
    Scientists and engineers are putting viscometry to traditional uses and creating new ones. In terms of applications, we are continuing to see the more traditional uses for viscometry—mostly quality assurance for products such as creams, oils, ... Read More
  • PCR Pushes Ahead

    Monday, September 07, 2015

  • Profiling Particles

    Monday, September 07, 2015
    Imagine throwing a variety of marbles, nuts and bolts, children’s breakfast cereals and, oh, let’s say, ground-up asphalt into a big beaker. Then, mix this all together and shrink it down, making the pieces range in size from nanometers to ... Read More
  • Eliminating Inaccuracy in Precision Weighing Caused by Static Charge

    Monday, September 07, 2015
    In precision weighing, the balance pan, made of stainless steel, is isolated from ground and will hold a static charge. This can cause issues with weighing accuracy. Read More
  • HPLC: A Versatile, Powerful Separations and Analysis Technique

    Friday, June 05, 2015

  • A Micro Look at Microplates

    Monday, May 11, 2015
    Microplates, also known as microwell plates, are widely used in molecular biology, clinical and analytical workflows. Multiwell microplates are a staple for performing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Read More
  • GC/MS Technology: Improving Sensitivity and Results

    Monday, May 11, 2015
    Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is a highly selective analytical technique for identifying compounds using mass detection. As in liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography relies on a mobile phase, but in GC, the mobile phase is a ... Read More
  • Beyond Light: Characterizing the Molecular World With Scanning Electron Microscopes

    Friday, April 10, 2015
    Centuries ago, glass lenses were employed to visually enhance small objects beyond the physical abilityBof the human eye. Light and compound mi- croscopes led to the birth of microbiology. However, the physical properties of visible light greatly ... Read More
  • Shaking Cells to Produce Novel Products

    Friday, April 10, 2015
    “Biotechnology” is a term that has only been used for a few decades. However, the fundamentals of biotechnology, including the concepts of shaking, heating or cooling a fermenting mixture, actually have been used for thousands of years. Read More
  • Cryoware: Essential Tools for Cryopreservation

    Friday, February 27, 2015
    Cryopreservation is the process of freezing cell cultures and storing them at extremely low temperatures. During that process, cultured cells are mixed with a cryo-protective solution and added to labeled storage vials, which are then cooled to ... Read More
