Read More White Papers and Application Notes Reduce and Control the Costs of Your Laboratory Pipettes A recent study conducted by a well-known liquid handling testing provider found 10% of pipettes in use at a biomedical research facility were performing out of tolerance. Costs of these errors can run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this resource you`ll learn more about: Establishing a regular employee technique validation program Partnering with service providers Balancing equipment quality and cost of ownership Download the FREE white paper to learn more Feature Article New Tool for Combating Mosquito-Borne Disease: Insect Parasite Genes DNA of a common insect parasite could help fight dengue, Zika, and malaria Wolbachia is the most successful parasite the world has ever known. You’ve never heard of it because it only infects bugs: millions upon millions of species of insects, spiders, centipedes, and other arthropods all around the globe. Read More Lab Health and Safety The Best Accident Response Plan for Your Lab Forethought and preplanning, i.e., developing a response plan, can help immensely when crisis hits We believe in prevention—identifying and eliminating hazards before employees are hurt. But try as we might, workplace injuries and fatalities still occur. And that is why some forethought and preplanning, i.e., developing a response plan, will help immensely when crisis hits.

Tiny bubbles trapped in ice provide samples of ancient air, but this record goes back only 800,000 years. To reach further, scientists must depend on climate proxies, or measurable parameters that vary systematically with climate conditions.
