INTEGRA has introduced a Row Dilution Plate Holder accessory for its VIAFLO 96 and 384 handheld benchtop pipettes.

The new row dilution plate holder adds the functionality to perform serial dilutions in rows. Serial dilutions are often carried out in row format because it allows experimenters to dilute more samples (12 instead of 8 in a 96-well plate). The plate holder can easily be adapted to work with either 96 or 384 well plates.

Avacta Analytical has released a number of software updates for its innovative Optim^® series of biophysical characterization instruments.

Designed to reduce the time and cost of therapeutic protein preformulation studies, the compact and robust Optim instruments can probe multiple protein stability­ indicating parameters at high speed using ultra-low sample volumes. The latest software updates have been developed to streamline this process, offering faster, more flexible operation and analysis....

The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has produced a new version of the video Making a Difference Through Newborn Screening: Blood Collection on Filter Paper (NBS01-A6 DVD).

This video is an updated version of the LA04-A5 DVD and is based off of CLSI document Blood Collection on Filter Paper for Newborn Screening Programs; Approved Standard—Sixth Edition (NBS01-A6). For hundreds of years, newborns who appeared healthy at birth later had severe intellectual or physical disability, or died because their genetic and heritable disorders went undetected and untreated. Thanks to advancing science and...

Serial dilutions are often carried out in row format because it allows experimenters to dilute more samples (12 instead of 8 in a 96-well plate). The plate holder can easily be adapted to work with either 96 or 384 well plates. Serial dilution of assay components is a key technique in drug discovery and life science research. In assay development, serial dilution can be...

A prototype of new technology to help specially trained dogs ‘sniff out’ the tell-tale signs of cancer in biological samples has been unveiled by The Open University (OU) at the 2014 Royal Society Summer Exhibition.

CHN microanalysis is a key analytical technique for determining whether or not a sample is pure by providing a precise and accurate analysis of its percentage Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen content and comparing the result versus theoretical figures.

Drawing upon over 25 years experience in the technique, Exeter Analytical Inc. has produced a video that provides an informed and easy-to-understand introduction to accurate determination of Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen by CHN microanalysis....

Its space saving stackable design allows you to make the most of your lab space and the modular design allows for different combinations to suit single and multiple GC applications.

Looking to the future, the F-DGSi Modular Alliance Series can also accommodate Helium to Hydrogen conversion as natural resources run low and costs rise, with our high purity H2 generator model WM-H2. Hydrogen provides many advantages over helium including, higher resolution, shorter run times, longer column life, and cost savings. Many instrument manufacturers now provide resources to make switching carrier gas easier....
