Accuracy depends on you: know your pipette, maintain it, and practice good technique.

Analysts are always looking for a handheld, push-button replacement for complicated laboratory processes

As a multidisciplinary activity, drug discovery relies on a range of life science analytical and processing platforms.

Disease and drug response testing from the bottom up

Probing nature’s building blocks

Flow cytometry has been instrumental in the discovery of rare cells and in understanding how they differ from more abundant cells. 

Many factors can negatively affect accuracy in refractometry; the secret is to eliminate them

Cell culture media fuel modern life sciences research. Whether the objective is cell-based assays, antibody production, or virus replication, the medium is a make-or-break component

"That tip you discard after each pipetting step, costing just a few cents, embodies technical sophistication that’s critical for pipetting accuracy." - Brian Perry, PhD.

While HPLC and mass spec make inroads into nontraditional markets, interest remains in molecular techniques that address the unique needs of  clinicians and drug developers.

Angelo DePalma recommends that you ask a lot of questions when searching for a suitable CO2 incubator

Because drugs tend to be small-molecule structures, gas-chromatography-MS (GC-MS) serves as confirmation both for alcohol level and for most drugs.

While no one will call a handheld “everything” field environmental laboratory a concrete goal, that is where the industry is heading.

Chromatography data systems (CDSs) have evolved alongside computers and data systems during the past 40 years, reaping all the benefits of cheap storage and data processing.

Maintaining laboratory instrumentation often involves balancing in-house expertise, downtime, and the cost of outside services
