How MRR Spectroscopy Overcomes MS, GC Challenges

Oct 4, 2024 | labcompare.com | Christopher Thompson

by Christopher J. Thompson, Ph.D., Vice President of Commercial Development, BrightSpec, Inc. For decades, researchers have relied on analytical techniques like mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography (GC) to navigate the complexities of drug formulation, identify impurities, and ensure product quality.
Buyer’s Guide: Automated Cell Counters

Sep 26, 2024 | labcompare.com | Michelle Taylor

As complex ecosystems, laboratories can sometimes be slow to adopt automated technology. That was not the case for cell counters, however. In general, the lab environment embraced the change from manual cell counters to automated, with the technology becoming both routine and essential for many life science researchers. Compared with manual cell counters, automated cell counters have the advantage of removing human subjectivity from the cell counting workflow.
Analytical Balances: A Balancing Act in the Laboratory

Sep 19, 2024 | labcompare.com | Michelle Taylor

Weighing is one of the most common tasks in the laboratory. Reliable analytical results begin with accurate weighing. And while modern balances are sophisticated enough to not require a specifically designed weighing room any longer, they are still extremely sensitive instruments beholden to their environment, use and care. For example, vibration, drafts/airflow, heat/temperature and humidity can all lead to invalid weighing results.
Do’s and Don’ts of Cell Culturing

Sep 13, 2024 | labcompare.com | Michelle Taylor

By very precisely regulating CO2, humidity and temperature, cell culture incubators produce in vivo conditions in vitro. Creating the ideal environment for cell and tissue work, however, is an extremely sensitive process that requires optimum and reproducible growth conditions. DO: Ensure optimal starting conditionsScientists need blank canvases to begin the difficult cell cultivation process.
Preparing for Change When Deploying New Informatics Software

Aug 16, 2024 | labcompare.com | Geoff Parker |Lead Consultant

By Geoff Parker, Co-Founder and Lead Consultant, ScimconScience is constantly evolving, meaning laboratories must be able to keep pace and effectively adapt to change. While laboratories have undergone change throughout history, modern laboratory managers are facing a new wave of challenges in the digital age, and must now consider investing in more advanced informatics systems, as well as harnessing the power of digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
Protein Interaction Assays: Why Working In Solution Can Be The Solution

Aug 9, 2024 | labcompare.com | Sean Devenish

By Dr Sean Devenish, Chief Scientist, Fluidic Sciences LimitedProtein interactions are central to biology and their characterization is important for scientists from basic research to drug development. Traditionally, protein interaction assays, such as the dominant Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technology, rely on immobilizing proteins on a surface. However, this approach has several limitations.
7 FAQs About Ultrapure Water

Jul 2, 2024 | labcompare.com | Michelle Taylor

Water is arguably the most fundamental substance in the laboratory. But not all water is created equal. There are three main types of water: Type I, Type II, and Type III. Type III water, or primary grade water, is used for non-critical work, like rinsing glassware. Type II water, or purified water, is most often used for media preparation and buffer creation. Type I water, or ultrapure water, is used in highly sensitive techniques, like chromatography, spectroscopy, and cell cultures.
How to Make Water a Lab Sustainability Priority

Jun 24, 2024 | labcompare.com | Michelle Taylor

When laboratory sustainability concerns arise, often the first element that enters the conversation is energy—usually in relation to fume hoods and/or lighting. More often than not, water conservation is ignored or at least given a low priority. But, that’s not an effective strategy when there are typically multiple water-intensive instruments in just one lab. Additionally, reducing water consumption reduces overall energy use, thereby furthering the “green goal” with little effort.
Buyer’s Guide: CO2 Incubators

May 20, 2024 | labcompare.com | Michelle Taylor

CO2 incubators are essential for biological work. By very precisely regulating CO2, humidity and temperature, incubators create the ideal environment for cell and tissue work. While there are many types of incubators suited to various applications, CO2 incubators are ubiquitous in the biological/chemical laboratory, especially if cell/tissue cultures are routine work.
Building on the Success of Wastewater-based Epidemiology

Apr 30, 2024 | labcompare.com | Michelle Taylor

In 2019, the use of wastewater-based epidemiology on a large scale was closer to a pipe dream than reality. Five years and one global pandemic later, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is heralded for the data collection potential it provides for a vast array of pathogens. Tracing the cellular rudiments of disease-causing organisms and viruses excreted from the body provides a unique type of non-invasive, anonymized mass test.
