Disposing of unwanted or outdated lab chemicals has always been somewhat of a troublesome, expensive, and sometimes outright dangerous process. Ironically, the introduction in the UK of legislation designed to make this practice simpler has not, in our experience, always had the desired effect.

Get lists of questions to ask when buying either qPCR or RNAi reagents; the most recent chemicals, reagents, and standards releases; and an updated chemicals, reagents, and standards manufacturer's list in this section.

The license enables SAGE Labs to use the CRISPR/Cas9 system to engineer cell and animal models for their clients as well as distribute validated CRISPR reagents.

Store acids and bases separately. Store fuels and oxidizers separately.

Chromatography data systems (CDS) are an integral component of any analytical laboratory. Yet, over time a CDS may no longer meet a lab's needs. This white paper from Waters details how to go about determining when you should replace your CDS.

This event features a suite of unique, interactive programs hosted in “virtual pavilions” dedicated to Lab Management and Life Science Research.

Properly storing hazardous chemicals is an important part of many labs’ safety programs. But you wouldn’t expect it to be an issue in someone’s home. However, that’s just what firefighters discovered in a house in Seattle April 8 while giving one of the home’s residents a hand walking down his stairs, according to a USA Today article.

On April 10, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced research grants to Arizona State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara to better understand the impacts of chemicals and nanomaterials throughout their life cycle—from design, manufacture, use and disposal.

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

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.
