Many laboratories purchased pipetting solutions from INTEGRA Biosciences during the COVID-19 pandemic, to help them cope with the high numbers of samples they were receiving every day for PCR testing. Now the pandemic has been brought somewhat under control, labs are once again able to concentrate their efforts on other vital work, but what has become of those pipetting platforms and devices? A recent survey conducted by INTEGRA provides insights into how these systems are finding new uses...

Compared to elemental analysis of carbon (including TIC and TOC), sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen concentrations with spectrometric methods, combustion analysis offers several advantages, including the ability to measure a wide concentration range from 1 ppm up to 100%, short analysis times, easy operation of the analytical instruments, and highly reliable measurement results...
Nature paper solves 20-year mystery of how epigenetic modifications act as traffic lights to control gene expression. A major new study in the journal Nature reveals a ‘traffic light’ mechanism controlling genetic activity within cells – a system which could potentially be targeted by cancer drugs already in development. The research describes how ‘epigenetic’ changes to the structure of DNA can act as a stop-go signal in determining whether a gene should be read...
