New Points to Consider in Genomics

As the cost of whole genome sequencing (WGS) declines, the number of human genome sequences is increasing rapidly. This is revealing new biochemistry, for example, exogenous RNA in our blood, ... read more
Product Intelligence: Differential Scanning Calorimetry—A Fundamental Thermal Analysis Tool

Differential scanning calorimeters (DSCs) are valuable tools that are used to determine the heat capacity and thermodynamic transition of a wide variety of samples. DSCs are employed in many areas, ... read more
Microcentrifuge Buyers Guide

A microcentrifuge is an invaluable tool that finds application in research, academic, and clinical laboratory settings. In order to select the right microcentrifuge for your purposes, you will need to... read more
Webinar: The Evolution of Mass Spectrometry

American Laboratory recently celebrated its 45th anniversary and presented a live webinar: “The Evolution of Mass Spectrometry—History and Advances over the Last 45 Years.” read more
45 Years of American Laboratory

October 1988: I remember it well. My lab overlooked the parking lot at Varian Associates. We were expecting a visit from Bill Wham and Ken Halaby, the founders of American Laboratory magazine. read more
Automatic Motorized Leveling of Laboratory Balances

A fundamental rule for using high-resolution balances in pharmaceutical laboratories is that the instrument be level at all times. If the lab balance is not level, it cannot accurately measure objects... read more
How Personalized Medicine Led to the Convergence of LIMS and LIS

When the Human Genome Project mapped all 20,000+ genes in the human body in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it cost roughly $3 billion. read more
The Biofuels Story

The story of biofuels begins with biomass. Simply stated, biomass is any plant or animal material of recent origin, as opposed to plant or animal material that, over millennia, has transformed ... read more
A Sensitive and Selective GC/MS Method for Analyzing Persistent Organic Pollutants Using a Novel Ionization Source

Charge transfer chemical ionization (CI) was among the ionization types studied decades ago by researchers investigating fundamental Characteristics of chemical ionization. However, the technique was ... read more
The Story of MALS

The concept of measuring light scattered from a solution at each of a plurality of angles simultaneously began in late 1976 in a very unlikely application. At that time, scientists from Science ... read more
The Art of Milling

A variety of methods can be used to analyze solid materials. What they all have in common is the need for a representative, homogeneous analytical sample of a defined fineness. In this White Paper ... read more
