More than 400 years ago, renowned mathematician and scientist Johannes Kepler speculated about the creation of one of nature's most angelic and unique shapes: the six-sided snowflake. Although atoms would not be discovered until over two centuries later, Kepler openly pondered about the microscopic building blocks that lead to the ice crystal's hexagonal formation.
Freezers and refrigerators are an integral part of any laboratory that requires temperature controlled storage
Maintaining samples at an optimal temperature while in storage is vital for many lab professionals and this makes choosing the right freezer or refrigerator a crucial task. While the average kitchen freezer operates at about -20°C, laboratory variants have a much wider range of options depending on the storage conditions needed.
Using single-cell RNA sequencing and clever statistical analysis to track stem cells as they mature
Adult stem cells have the ability to transform into many types of cells, but tracing the path individual stem cells follow as they mature and identifying the molecules that trigger these fateful decisions are difficult in a living animal.
Appropriate care using sporicidal disinfectant is essential to prevent dangerous exposures and injuries
The class of liquid sporicidal disinfectants are popular non-bleach disinfectants used for clean rooms and biosafety cabinets. Since their introduction, liquid sporicides have become one of the products of choice for many biological research and production facilities wherever high-level microbial control is critical.
Because drugs tend to be small-molecule structures, GC-MS serves as confirmation both for alcohol level and for most drugs
Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as an everyday analysis tool suitable for screening and confirmatory analysis, and in some cases it blurs the distinction between the two. Gas chromatography (GC) equipped with a headspace and flame ionization detector (FID) remain the workhorses for blood alcohol analysis.
Quorum sensing helps beneficial bacteria reign in their pathogenic origins
Microbiology research has long focused on species that affect humans, animals, and economically important crops. Recent advances in bacterial identification and sequencing have allowed for more and more environments, including our skin, mouths, and guts, to give up the secrets of their microbial biodiversity.
This webinar discusses the benefits of onsite gas generation, compares cylinder and gas generator usage, and demonstrates the advantages of switching to hydrogen carrier gas owing to declining helium supply.
As an attendee, you will learn more about:
Compressor technology advancements to increase reliability
How onsite generation enhances safety
Quality compliance with onsite generators
How larger capacity generators can solve helium supply issues
Researchers say their findings may lead to a better understanding of hunger, cravings, and ultimately weight gain and obesity
Using fruit flies, Johns Hopkins researchers say they have identified a specific and very small set of brain cells—dubbed dopamine wedge neurons—responsible for driving the insects’ food preferences toward what they need, rather than what they like.
Looking for evaporator technology that suits the specific needs of your academic lab?
The EZ-2 centrifugal evaporator from Genevac is used by hundreds of university and college groups in chemistry, pharmacology, biology, natural product, and environmental science departments worldwide to concentrate or completely dry samples. Benefiting from a suite of pre-programmed methods, the EZ-2 evaporator has proven particularly popular in multi-user academic environments.
An ultimate goal of the research is to expand the area of cultivation for the cowpea, especially to areas with limited water
Scientists at the State University of Paraíba in Brazil have found that salicylic acid—also used to make aspirin—can help the cowpea be more drought tolerant. They focused on germination, the period when the plant is just sprouting, and early growth.
