The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced plans to fund research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Engineering on technologies that would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the capture and permanent safe storage, or sequestration, of carbon dioxide (CO2).

New approaches promise financial and environmental cost savings while addressing the challenge of increased bio-specimen collection

Lab manager Larry Decker's TestAmerica environmental lab in Connecticut is where he and his staff analyze thousands of soil, wastewater, and monitoring well samples each month. One key to the lab's success is a management team that works on training every individual to be reactive and ready to go if the person is needed in a different department.

The study of cells and their behavior is growing rapidly in drug discovery and disease research. This has created a huge demand for more efficient methods to culture cells.

The cooling and subsequent storage of frozen cells is a vital step in providing a continuous source of tissue and genetically stable living cells for procedures such as bone marrow transplant, IVF, and organ donation. Cryopreservation works by inhibiting all biochemical activity.
