*Centrifuge for blood samples* Centrifuges are used in clinical applications including the separation of blood samples - a process where the different components of blood are distinguished from one another by weight, size, and density through rotational forces. Clinical centrifuges come in types according to their application. For instance, a...

Mixers are one of the most utilized instruments in many lab applications. Mixers come in shakers, rockers, rotators, and others that have varying configurations (capacity, speed, duration, slope, and more) and are used according to specific applications. Mixers are highly useful for basic experimentation, particularly in sample preparation. The diversity...

Flammables, combustible liquids, and hazardous chemicals in laboratories, work facilities, and business sites must be handled with extreme caution. Even with exhaustive safety programs created to ensure safe storage and use of these, there is still an evident number of accidents and fires recorded all throughout the year. Ignorance and...

Alkaloids produced by plants that are found both in nectar and pollen serve as protection against herbivores. A research study led by the University of Exeter and Bayer AG showed how genes of several species of pollinators called Hymenoptera - insects that include bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies - produce...

International researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine and universities from Zürich created a powerful resource in examining the extracellular RNA (exRNA). This research lays the groundwork for how exRNA and its carrier proteins function in a healthy way. It also explores the diseased setting that might provide a way...

During aging, stem cells that have the ability to move between growth compartments in hair follicles get stuck. This leads to losing the ability to mature and maintain hair color, suggests a new study by the NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman School of Medicine research team. The researchers focused...

Fume hoods and other engineered controls are significant parts in most laboratory facility planning. However these controls are energy-intensive and have a considerable impact on a building infrastructure and performance. Studies have stated that labs consume up to 5 to 10 times more energy per square foot compared to other...

A multidisciplinary science team representing 11 institutions from the United States, Canada, and France used advanced ocean technologies to make the discovery. Scientists used autonomous and remotely operated underwater vehicles resulting in 65 square miles (170 square kilometers) of seafloor mapped at one-meter scale resolution, an area approximately the size...

Thanks to a recent upgrade to the medical isotope facilities at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, actinium-225 (Ac-225), an isotope that shows great promise for treating cancer, can now be produced, purified, and shipped ready for use directly from the Lab. The first shipment left Brookhaven...

Answers with regards to the age-old debate of whether beer tastes better in a can or bottle have been inconclusive. Food scientists from ACS Food Science & Technology tried to address this dilemma by stating that it depends on the type of beer. For instance, amber ale stays fresher in...

A team of researchers have developed an easy-to-use colorimetric assay for the detection of food contaminated with salmonella. The assay is based on a novel nucleic acid probe that is cleaved by an RNase enzyme specific to the salmonella species. As the team report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, this...
