Raman spectroscopy opens new approaches in clinical diagnostics for many medical conditions.

With the range of options available, most scientists can find something that fits many—if not all—of their needs in automating immunoassays.

The adage of “adapt or die” applies to a laboratory information management system (LIMS) just as it does to evolution.

The food industry is doing a pretty good job of ensuring that people don’t eat things that give them an allergic reaction

When titration runs into trouble, history impacts the troubleshooting

Whether an experiment or procedure requires heating or cooling, beads can be easier to use and more economical.

The ongoing changes in today’s microwave digesters make it possible for researchers to use these devices in more sophisticated ways

Nearly any biologist can now use some form of this microscopy

In many cases metals can contaminate the environment, and scientists and public health workers rely on tools like ICP-MS to deliver accurate analysis.

Most of today’s biology labs need to shake something, and often in a controlled environment. That’s a job for a temperature controlled or incubator shaker.

A material’s refractive index—essentially how much it bends lights—can be used to describe the material and its use.

Used equipment can help keep your costs down, but you'll want to make sure you have the right warranty.

To feed the world safe and consistent foods and beverages, companies need increasingly fast ways to screen products from start to finish.
