Mammalian cell cultures have been around for decades—but they definitely aren’t going anywhere. They are increasingly valuable in drug development, for which the pharma industry is turning to cell-based assays for drug-safety testing because animal models are sometimes unreliable, or even inhumane…

Centrifugation in the Clinical Laboratory : Mar-Apr 2013 – MedicalLab Management Magazine
The use of centrifuge technology is critical in the clinical laboratory setting for the separation of liquid and solid components. In laboratories performing biochemical analyses on body fluids, centrifuges are routinely used to separate blood cells from serum/plasma, to separate sediment from urine, to measure the volume fraction of erythrocytes in blood (the hematocrit), and to separate bound from free components in protein binding and immunoprocedures. Less routinely, centrifugation is used for separation of lipoproteins in reference procedures for their measurement, separation of cellular components, and separation of DNA fragments.1

Biocompare | How to Maintain a Constant Temp in Your CO2 Incubator
Editorial article from www.biocompare.com
Thursday, January 17, 2013
The modern cell culture incubator is much more than a box in which to keep cells warm. Talk of maintaining humidity, IR sensors, HEPA filters and decontamination cycles loom just as large in reviews and ads as mentions of temperature control. Yet how the box is heated (and perhaps cooled), how temperature uniformity is…
NuAire is a Bronze sponsor and exhibiting during USDA ARS ABSA 2nd International Biosafety and Biocontainment Symposium.
Visit NuAire during the USDA ARS ABSA 2nd International Biosafety and Biocontainment Symposium at booth 39 February 4 – 7.
“The Symposium will include ten pre-symposium courses and 2 days of scientific presentations. There will also be exhibits showcasing the latest agricultural biosafety and biocontainment products and services.
The Symposium will consist of sessions covering a variety of topics including containment and security challenges, GMOs, and agroterrorism. There will be a roundtable discussion on the culture of responsibility and security and another on LAIs and break in containment. Keynote speakers will open the program on Tuesday and Wednesday.
In addition to the valuable courses and sessions, you will have the opportunity to network with professionals from the biosafety and scientific research industries, organizations, and agencies.”
