These so called cerebral organoids present an unprecedented 3D cell culture model of human brain development.

Early instruments were hand powered, but in 1912, with the introduction of electric centrifuges, that changed. The early centrifuges were mostly used for non-biological applications, such as separating milk and collecting precipitates.

To make bricks out of Mars soil simulant, without additives and without heating or baking the material, two steps were key. Read More Feature Article New Microscopic Technique Could Help Detect, Diagnose Metastatic Melanomas Researchers have devised a new tool to detect and analyze single melanoma cells that are more representative of the skin cancers developed by most patients The fight against skin cancer just got a new weapon. For years, melanoma researchers have studied samples that were considered uniform in size and color, making them easier to examine by more conventional means. But melanomas don’t always come in the same shape and hue; often, melanomas are irregular and dark, making them difficult to investigate. Read More eBook Purchasing a CO2 Incubator? Here's What You Need to Know CO2 incubators are designed to copy a cell’s natural environment with a relative humidity of around 95 percent, a temperature of 37°C and a pH of 7.2 to 7.5. They are most common in biology labs performing tissue or cell culture and are used in any process where cells need to be cultured for a few hours or many weeks, or where cells need to be expanded or maintained. In this eBook you'll learn: Questions to ask before buying a CO2 incubator Maintenance tips on CO2 incubators Expert advice on use, care, and disinfection Download your FREE eBook White Papers and Application Notes Flexible Respiratory Pathogen Testing Why clinical laboratories no longer have to settle There is now an abundance of multiplex molecular options available for many infectious disease states, including RTIs. However, none of the currently available respiratory pathogen tests alone provide laboratories with a complete solution to address the full spectrum of provider, patient, and laboratory needs. Learn more about how clinical laboratories of all sizes can offer a respiratory pathogen testing algorithm that fully addresses clinician and patient needs in a format that minimizes the financial and resource burden on the laboratory.
