Our world is becoming more environmentally aware with recycling being considered a necessity both domestically and commercially.
Anybody working in a laboratory that uses pipettes and tips knows how much waste tip racks produce, how expensive they are to dispose of and the amount of space these used racks can take up. For most labs the cost of running a recycling scheme can be prohibatory as they tend to be priced upon the weight of the plastic being recycled....

Scientists at the University of Dundee have identified a `molecular commando’ which can be stealthily deployed to activate a hypoxic response, a process which can help to fight a range of conditions including stroke, angina, colitis and brain injuries.
A Dundee team led by Professor Alessio Ciulli in the School of Life Sciences have used pioneering techniques to develop a `small molecule’ chemical probe called VH298, which offers highly targeted access to the parts of the cell which regulate hypoxia, known as the hypoxic signalling pathway....
The Chromatrap® Enzymatic Shearing Kit provides an excellent method for the preparation of high quality, ideally fragmented chromatin for ChIP analysis.
The success of a ChIP assay is highly dependent on the quality of chromatin prepared. The Enzymatic shearing kit provides buffers to optimise the shearing conditions of your chromatin by enzymatic digestion. Chromatin prepared using this kit demonstrates excellent enrichment, independent of starting cell number...
