Diagnostics From the Chemistry Laboratory to the Point of Care: An Interview With Shane Needham of Alturas Analytics, Inc.
The disease discovery and therapy workflow is lengthy and convoluted, with the potential for technical, regulatory and turf issues. read more
“Genomical” Replaces “Astronomical” at Converged IT Summit
The Converged IT Summit, held September 9 and 10 in San Francisco, Calif., provided examples of integrating IT and science to support discovery—especially improved healthcare. read more
Book Review: Clinical Research Compliance Manual
The Clinical Research Compliance Manual: An Administrative Guide is a substantial update from previous editions. read more
Fighting Resistance With Calorimetry: New Tools for Antimicrobial Drug Development
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing concern, and with good reason—an estimated 23,000 deaths and two million illnesses occur annually in the U.S. read more
The Deeper You Dig, The More You Find
”The deeper you dig, the more you find” is frequently heard in proteomics, particularly at Proteins Powering NexGen Healthcare—Revolutionizing Biomarker Research and Translational Science Symposium: ... read more
SPE Method to Eliminate Matrix Effect in the LC/MS (TOF) Analysis of Illicit NBOMe Synthetic Hallucinogens from Urine
The high specificity of LC/MS is relied upon for detecting illicit compounds. However, issues related to method robustness and matrix interference have driven the need for developing better analytical... read more
Aye, Robot
At the annual SLAS meeting (January 23–27, San Diego, Calif.)—the “main event” of the year in automation, if you will—American Laboratory spoke with representatives for vendors of robotic platforms ... read more
Improved Liquid Biopsies With Combined Digital PCR and Next-Generation Sequencing
The discovery that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be found in the blood, urine and other bodily fluids of cancer patients has led to a new type of biopsy that bypasses surgery—liquid biopsy. read more
Highlights From SLAS2016
Despite a blizzard in the Eastern United States, 6293 scientists—an increase of about 25% from the conference’s previous high—were able to travel to sunny San Diego to discuss laboratory automation ... read more
Steel-Shell Centrifuge: Small Footprint, Big Speed, User Safety
Multipurpose or general-purpose centrifuges are indispensable tools used to separate components in a variety of solutions. read more
Tech Intelligence: Sample Handling
From X-rays to blood draws, researchers and clinicians need a variety of ways to handle samples, from the time they are collected through storage and analysis. read more
Determination of Pain-Management Drugs in Human Urine Using “Flip-Flop” Chromatography and Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry
Methodology is presented for analysis of 13 pain-management drugs using reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction chromatographic separations. read more
Best Practices for CO₂ Incubator Maintenance
The use of long-established mutant lines in culture has shifted, and it is common to find researchers using more sensitive stem cells, primary cells and 3-D cultures in applications including vaccine... read more
Special Protein Testing in the Clinical Laboratory: Overview of Available Assays
The proteins found within the human machine are, quite literally, the building blocks of life: individual cells contain more than 5000 individual proteins. read more
Cell Culture Advances Yield More Reliable Data for Cancer Research
Cells stored with traditional culturing practices express different gene and protein profiles than their in vivo counterparts. read more
