Diagnostic effectiveness is driving the accelerated acceptance of Stanbio Laboratory’s Beta Hydroxybutyrate LiquiColor® reagent in U.S. hospital chemistry laboratories. The assay is used primarily for determining both the presence and degree of ketosis in suspected diabetic ketoacidosis cases.

How digital systems can save money, eliminate safety risks, and increase productivity

Fluorescent western blotting is a powerful imaging technique which facilitates accurate protein quantification and multi-color analysis.  At Abcam, we listened to the demands of our customers, and generated high quality Alexa Fluor® 680/790 conjugated secondaries, to a large number of target species, for fluorescent western blotting.  As a result of this diversity and minimal spectral overlap of Alexa Fluor® 680 and 790, the reagents are ideal for multi-color analysis; furthermore customers can be reassured of the quality as Abcam publishes QC data for each individual product within the range.

A new £7 million centre at the University of Leeds will lead UK research in manufacturing advanced chemical products.

Criminal charges relating to a 2008 lab accident at UCLA continue to raise concerns over safety practices in all university labs.

INTEGRA Biosciences has received a Red Dot Design Award for its innovative VIAFLO ASSIST - a new laboratory device that, in combination with a VIAFLO II electronic handheld pipette, enables the pipette’s protocols to be performed automatically. With its origins dating back to 1955, the Red Dot Design Award ranks among the most renowned design competitions in the world.

In this technical note, INTEGRA presents accuracy and precision data for VIAFLO 96-channel pipetting heads, measured using Artel’s MVS.
