The key to successful peptide mapping is generating reproducible, high resolution separations of peptides so that any subtle differences between sample components can be visualized. In this webinar, sample preparation techniques and LC instrumentation parameters will also be discussed in an effort to improve reliability.

Singer/Songwriter Adam Cole performs live “A Biologist’s Mother’s Day Song,” a touching, quirky, and hilarious ode to the genetic wealth his mom has given him.

NolR is a master off-switch for the process that converts bacteria from free living to nitrogen-fixing.

We’ve already seen less-than-savory practices from a few scientists recently due to the tough funding environment in research these days, whether that’s altering research findings or faking them altogether for more impressive results. In the latest example of such unethical behavior, two professors from the University of Houston have been charged with wire fraud and making false statements in order to get $1.3 million in research grants from the U.S. government, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Selecting the best candidates is the first stage of successfully moving someone into management. Developing skills and experience through exposure to a variety of situations is an important, relatively straightforward but not commonly done phase of a successful process.

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.

The person who knows how to negotiate usually wins the better end result. In this webinar, you will hear proven ways to become not just a good but a great negotiator.

As one of the most widely consumed and commercially important beverages on the planet, one would expect the experts to know everything there is to know about lager beer.

Learning to use evaporation starts very early in chemistry. For students, the process takes a very simple
 approach, maybe just putting a solution in a beaker over a flame and waiting. That technique, though,
 doesn’t provide the sophistication, control, or throughput that advanced techniques require. Consequently, scientists can use dedicated evaporators.

When preparing a sample for analysis that requires high temperature and pressure in an acidic environment, a scientist selects microwave digestion for the process. This attracts scientists from an extraordinarily large range.

This month we highlight vendors who will be exhibiting at the 114th general meeting of the American Society for Microbiology (asm2014) and Experimental Biology (EB 2014). 

Thanks to a new house bill, records "created or collected in the course of academic research" or for related purposes, are now exempt from the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983.

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

In this interactive webinar, a discussion of OSHA and ANSI standards sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of laboratory glasses, goggles, face shields, eyewash fountains, contact lenses and safety shields.

During this webinar, we will look at current ways of labeling vials, and identify techniques that will provide your laboratory with the best options for identification of chromatography sample vials.
