Primary cells have been a key part of life sciences research, and demand for these cells is at an all-time high.
To feed the world safe and consistent foods and beverages, companies need increasingly fast ways to screen products from start to finish.
Digital PCR (dPCR) is a gene amplification method particularly suited to detecting and quantifying rare genes.
As food is raised in one spot, processed in another, and shipped around the world, it’s no wonder that food safety creates an international concern.
From marine accidents to murders, this technology helps experts analyze the evidence
The most significant equipment-related trend in bioprocessing over the past 15 years has been the replacement of reusable glass and steel equipment by single-use plastics.
With more than tens of thousands of chemicals used commercially, keeping track of their levels in our bodies creates a challenge.
Cell culture today presents a subtle paradox. Coaxing cells to produce biopharmaceuticals, vitamins, and industrial products requires inserting foreign genes and adapting cells to artificial growth conditions.
The many variables involved in pesticide use presents special challenges when it comes to food safety analysis.
Many factors in materials impact foods and beverages. These range from safety issues, such as microbiological contamination, to texture issues, such as the smoothness of peanut butter.
Most drug discovery efforts begin with a biological target—the molecule inside the body whose activity the drug is expected to enhance or diminish. Assurance that the target is pharmacologically accessible and responsible in some way for the disease in question is based on target validation studies.
