ASTM type II water is the fallback pure water grade for low-criticality biology work, including labware cleaning.

Program addresses unmet need for engineers trained to bring technology from prototype through regulation to market

Auditors know that they shouldn’t be influenced by management confidence, but the experiment showed that they are

Associate editor Rachel Muenz speaks with research scientists Freya Freestone, MChem, and Helen O'Shea, BSc about data processing, analysis, and managing workflows in the lab.

Problem: According to the Allotrope Foundation, “Underpinning every experiment, every scientific decision, and every regulatory submission is data generated by a scientist using an instrument in the laboratory.” These mountains of analytical data are analyzed and interpreted in global R&D laboratories to help evaluate, identify, and characterize compounds and formulations. 

According to court documents cited by the Des Moines Register, former Iowa State University researcher Dong-Pyou Han will plead guilty to charges of research fraud.

The STAP stem cell scandal at Japan’s RIKEN research institute officially came to a close on Friday where it was announced at an Osaka news conference that Haruko Obokata, the stem cell scientist behind the research, was unable to replicate her results in a recent set of experiments.

The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) has issued a former University of Queensland researcher with a Notice to Appear in court on 16 fraud-related offences.

What is the value of laboratory accreditation? Whom does it benefit? And what are those benefits? What is the standard of competence? What value does accreditation have from an internationally recognized body such as the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation?

Labs of all kinds need standards, but they must be the right standards. Good standards are neither goals nor quotas that we will try to reach, but rather rules of behavior that we will follow every day, every time.

Assumptions scrutinized on career damage and funding waste

Particles of soot floating through the air and comets hurtling through space have at least one thing in common: 0.36. That, reports a research group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is the measure of how dense they will get under normal conditions, and it’s a value that seems to be constant for similar aggregates across an impressively wide size range from nanometers to tens of meters.*
