At Georgia Tech, researchers from the Colleges of Sciences and Engineering have joined forces to create the Center for Bio-Imaging Mass Spectrometry. Understanding biology at the systems level is difficult, especially when studying complex specimens like tissue slices or communities of organisms in a biofilm. Scientists must be able to identify, quantify and locate the molecules present in the samples. The Center for Bio-Imaging Mass Spectrometry aims to tackle these types of challenges.

You're nine months into the year and your lab's budget is almost spent, now what?

The goal of pipetting is to ensure maximum accuracy and repeatability when transferring fluids. A high-quality pipette in the hand of an untrained operator is an unreliable instrument. Beyond user skill and consistency, ergonomic design, autoclavability.

An appropriate HPLC detector has the ability to sense the presence of a compound and send its corresponding electrical signal to a computer data station.

In addition to being able to reach and maintain temperatures as low as -86 C, today's ultra-low temperature laboratory freezers need to provide greater energy efficiency, smaller footprints, uniform temperature stability, and alarm system reliability.
