INTEGRA, in conjunction with DPX Labs LLC, has produced an application note that describes a novel high throughput semi-automated sample method for processing urine samples ready for drugs of abuse analysis by LC-MS/MS. 

Using an INTEGRA VIAFLO 96 electronic pipette with DPX mixed mode tips, a single 96-well plate loaded with samples can be extracted and ready for LC-MS/MS analysis in less than ten minutes eliminating the need for a time-consuming evaporation step. Sample preparation is required to remove matrix interferences from urine samples prior to LC-MS/MS analysis. This procedure is typically very time-consuming and is...

A distinguished panel of experts from four leading bioscience research institutes come together during this year’s Cambridge Science Festival to discuss and respond to public questions about the current and future applications of genome editing – a process by which sections of DNA are removed or replaced.

Human genomes contain natural errors or mutations. Most are relatively harmless and underpin evolution but some cause life-threatening diseases. In a few cases, patients have been treated by conventional gene therapy, where new genes are incorporated using a carrier virus to counteract defective genes. However, so far few patients have been treated by genomic editing. This could all change now that new and much...

The annual two-week Festival, which runs from 7 – 20 March and stages more than 300 events, examines the growing interaction between humans and technology

Will artificial intelligence be superior to or as creative as the human brain? Are we letting machines take over and give rise to mass unemployment or worse? Should we be worried about quantum computing and the impact it will have on the way we work, communicate and live in the future? Or should we harness rather than hate the digital deluge? As we teeter on the brink of total machine dependency and epoch-making technological...
