In this webinar you will learn that SPME is a fast, solvent-less alternative to conventional sample extraction techniques. It’s ideal for the challenging sample matrices commonly encountered in many food laboratories. 

The Wallops Incident Response Team recently completed an initial assessment of Wallops Island, Virginia, following the catastrophic failure of Orbital Science Corp.’s Antares rocket shortly after liftoff at 6:22 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Oct. 28, from Pad 0A of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

In sequencing laboratories, lab managers and scientists have to face many scientific challenges. Having to worry about the quality of the water they use shouldn’t be one of them. In this webinar Dr. Sean Kennedy, of the MetaGenoPolis NGS platform, MetaQuant, will share his experience and help you make the right decisions concerning water for your laboratory. 

This webinar will focus on proper placement and other design considerations when installing chemical fume hoods. The presentation will touch on the design differences of major types of chemical fume hoods and briefly discuss their features and functions.

This month, we highlight companies that will be exhibiting at two upcoming scientific trade shows–the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists’ Annual Meeting and Exposition (AAPS 2014) and the Society for Neuroscience’s Annual Meeting (Neuroscience 2014). AAPS 2014 takes place at the San Diego Convention Center from November 2-6 and offers pharmaceutical scientists the opportunity to network with others in their field and check out the latest pharma equipment. Neuroscience 2014 will run November 15-19 in Washington, DC, allowing neuroscientists to present emerging science, learn from experts, forge collaborations with peers, explore new tools and technologies, and advance careers.

Soon, the growing capability of your smartphone could be harnessed to detect cosmic rays in much the same way as high-end, multimillion-dollar observatories.

This webinar will explain the role of standards in bringing about the goal of safety in the workplace, or, for that matter in families and other teams. Good safety standards will be defined and explained, with tools provided that you can put to work tomorrow.

Tune into this webinar to hear Dr. Whaley discuss lessons learned when The Dow Chemical Company successfully integrated their fragmented chemical inventory data and rolled out a new, centralized system worldwide.

Dangerous new pathogens such as the Ebola virus invoke scary scenarios of deadly epidemics, but even ancient scourges such as the bubonic plague are still providing researchers with new insights on how the body responds to infections.

The wrong type of communication can destroy trust. In this webinar, you will learn five simple strategies for building and maintaining free flowing communications within your lab.

Astronomers searching the atmospheres of alien worlds for gases that might be produced by life can't rely on the detection of just one type, such as oxygen, ozone, or methane, because in some cases these gases can be produced non-biologically, according to extensive simulations by researchers in the NASA Astrobiology Institute’s Virtual Planetary Laboratory.

Forgotten smallpox samples found in July leads to search of other government labs, finding more samples of other deadly pathogens.
