The custom technologies arm of Molecular Devices, a leader in bioanalytical systems for drug discovery, life science research, and bioassay development, has partnered with the Discovery Technologies team at the Roche Innovation Center Basel of Pharma Research and Early Development (pRED) to develop a high-throughput detection system for drug discovery screens employing Roche’s proprietary Ruthenium-based nanosecond time resolved fluorescence (Nano-TRF®) assays. The pRED screening teams in Basel and Shanghai are now installing the custom-developed Nano-TRF® cartridge in their existing Molecular Devices SpectraMax® Paradigm® multimode microplate readers and will receive on-demand delivery of new cartridges and continuing global technical support.

A new imaging platform designed at Janelia produces high-resolution images with little light damage to cells.

Understanding how viruses attack giant algal blooms may help us understand their role in fixing global carbon.

Key laboratories worldwide contribute to collaboration.

Crucial steps and surprising structures revealed in the genesis of the enzyme that divides the DNA double helix during cell replication.

Whether it's plain cheese, deep-dish stached with meat or a thin-crust veggie delight, there a lot of chemistry going on in this ACS video

A new technique makes it possible to quickly detect the presence of drugs or to monitor certain medical conditions using only a single drop of blood or urine, representing a potential tool for clinicians and law enforcement.

Pity the poor lithium ion. Drawn relentlessly by its electrical charge, it surges from anode to cathode and back again, shouldering its way through an elaborate molecular obstacle course. This journey is essential to powering everything from cell phones to cordless power tools. Yet, no one really understands what goes on at the atomic scale as lithium ion batteries are used and recharged, over and over again.

Yale welcomes scientists to participate in core facility opening and super-resolution workshops October 20 through 31.
