Disease and drug response testing from the bottom up

DNA sequencing keeps getting faster and covering more bases, and today’s fastest approach is  massively parallel sequencing (MPS)—also known as next-generation sequencing.

Cell culture media fuel modern life sciences research. Whether the objective is cell-based assays, antibody production, or virus replication, the medium is a make-or-break component

Agencies and consumers demand more vigilance...and that takes new technology

While HPLC and mass spec make inroads into nontraditional markets, interest remains in molecular techniques that address the unique needs of  clinicians and drug developers.

Because drugs tend to be small-molecule structures, gas-chromatography-MS (GC-MS) serves as confirmation both for alcohol level and for most drugs.

While no one will call a handheld “everything” field environmental laboratory a concrete goal, that is where the industry is heading.

Standardizing the methods will improve products for recreational and medicinal applications

Just how big is biomedical data? Well, genomic data alone could soon swamp YouTube™ and Twitter™ as the world’s largest data generator.

In forensic work, the smallest detail can make the difference in solving a crime. Those details can come from genetic evidence, such as DNA. Collecting the DNA is one thing, analyzing it is another.
