The Division of Cell and Developmental Biology, part of the University of Dundee’s School of Life Sciences, is taking advantage of Anachem’s recently launched Rainin TerraRack™ pipette tip racks to minimize storage and waste disposal requirements.
Ian Newton, Scientific Officer in the Näthke lab, explained: “Our laboratory is focused on adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), a multi-functional protein which has a role in a variety of basic cellular processes, including cell migration, cell adhesion, and proliferation. Mutations in APC are closely linked with both inherited and sporadic colon cancer, and we use a variety of techniques to investigate the various protein interactions of APC in vivo....
New from Finneran, Polypropylene Plastic Pastuer pipets provides chemical resistivity needed for many applications.
Two sizes available – 5.75” and 9” for easier handling and longer reach for working with larger vessels. Available in sterile (gamma irradiated) and non-sterile pack options.
As with any scientific technique, it is crucial to ensure that qPCR is undertaken with complete accuracy and reliability. Should this ever fail to be the case, the results can be disastrous. One such situation occurred when two papers, published in 1998 and 2002, highlighted supposed links between the MMR vaccine and bowel inflammation and developmental disorders. Many parents refused to vaccinate their children, and several court cases were undertaken as a result.
