(Video) While much was said about a variety of topics during the presidential campaign, little was said about science Donald Trump is now the 45th president of the U.S. While much was said about a variety of topics during the presidential campaign, little was said about science. This leaves uncertainty around how the new administration will deal with science and how its approach will impact chemistry, research funding, trade policy, and more. 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 technique validation program Partnering with service providers Balancing equipment quality and cost of ownership Download the FREE white paper to learn more Feature Article Roots of Related Genetic Diseases Found in Cell Powerhouses Experimenting researchers found that the process for copying mtDNA is prone to stalling “Our study suggests that we have not only found the mechanism behind the common deletion in mitochondria and precisely how this type of DNA is copied, but perhaps a mechanism behind many disease-related deletions,” says senior study investigator Agnel Sfeir, PhD. Read More Management Tips Tips for Combating Negative Behavior in Meetings Occasionally, a group member's negative behavior can derail a meeting Reasons for negative behavior may include a meeting climate that avoids confrontation, personal style, or even the "rush" that such actions cause. Understanding these negative behaviors and how to deal with them can help you turn around potentially disastrous situations. Read More White Papers and Application Notes Thermometric Titration of Acid Number Acid number (AN) determination is used to monitor oil degradation and acidity. Although standard potentiometric acid-base titrations work well for the determination of AN, they can be time consuming measurements. In this white paper, you will learn more about: Thermometric vs. Potentiometric Titration of AN ASTM D8045 standard of AN determination Click HERE to learn more Feature Article Scientists Develop First Catalyzed Reaction Using Iron Salts A new iron catalysed reaction could prove to be a thousand times cheaper than equivalent processes Researchers have developed a new chemical reaction that is catalysed using simple iron salts—an inexpensive, abundant, and sustainable alternative to more scarce and costly metals. Read More Feature Article Research Findings Could Help Prevent Crop-Killing Pathogen from Coming to U.S. New findings may provide further evidence to help researchers stop the disease that continues to torment growers New findings by University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences researchers could help prevent more genetic strains of the potato- and tomato-killing late-blight pathogen from entering the United States. Read More Automated Liquid Handling Survey Tell Us About Your Automated Liquid Handling System Take Our 30 Second Survey Automated liquid handling (ALH) systems span the range from semi-automated multichannel pipettors to room-sized systems. If you use, or are planning to use, an automated liquid handing system in your lab, we'd like to hear from you. Please take this short liquid handing survey for a chance to win one of two $50 Amazon.com gift cards and an Eppendorf 1.5 ml snap-cap adapter compliments of Konnis. Take the Survey White Papers and Application Notes A Simple, Low-Cost Approach to Improving ICP Productivity Most ICP systems incorporate an autosampler. With these systems there is a significant delay between the time when the autosampler probe enters the sample and the time when the sample reaches the nebulizer. There is a similar delay between the time when the probe enters the rinse solution and the time when the rinse solution reaches the nebulizer.

Costs can be astronomical where these medications are needed most, and when doctors are able to acquire those medications they face another challenge—time. Read More Shopping for a New Stirrer? What to Consider When Purchasing a New Stirrer Purchasing a new stirrer may not be as straightforward as you think Join Linda the lab manager and her team as they review what features the best stirrers can, (and should) offer in this short video sponsored by IKA.
