Researchers have collaborated to craft a request that could fundamentally alter how the antibodies used in research are identified.

Lab wins 2 Federal Laboratory Consortium awards for technology transfer.

A problem that has gone relatively unnoticed when achieving reliable measurements is that of transpiration. Transpiration is defined as the passage of vapor from within a container to the outside. Transpiration is a systematic error that increases the concentration of a solution as time passes.

It’s ‘survival of the fittest’ as bacteria colonies pump out chemicals faster than ever.

In my days in the lab, a pipette seemed about as impersonal as a lab tool could get. Today’s world of scientific equipment offers many ways to personalize your pipetting. For old-school scientists like me, though, the first question is: why personalize a pipette?

Multichannel pipettes are invaluable when working with multiwell plates. However, prolonged and repetitive pipetting sessions bear the risk of strain and fatigue, often resulting in repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and less reproducible results.

Flammable liquids should be stored in fireproof cabinets.

No matter what field you serve, your role as a modern laboratory manager requires an intimate understanding of how safety, productivity, and sustainability work together to determine the success of your entire operation in achieving accurate results and containing costs. It’s no surprise that one of the biggest challenges of running a successful lab operation is meeting all these expectations without sacrificing any one of them.

Key laboratories worldwide contribute to collaboration.

Educating users on proper technique is essential to avoiding pipette neglect

INTEGRA has announced a software update for its VIAFLO II electronic pipette range that now features a full-text, multilingual user interface in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.

Integrating an INTEGRA VIAFLO 96 multichannel pipette into their high throughput expression facility has enabled Molecular Partners (Zurich, Switzerland) to streamline the discovery and development of a novel class of targeted protein therapeutics termed DARPins.
