Due to an increase in the abuse of synthetic insulins, doping laboratories require faster and more consistent testing options. The methodology to detect and confirm the presence of peptide hormones by mass spectrometry is preferred to the current use of immunoassays or other immuno-reactive techniques. This white paper explores and compares the different available methods, revealing the fastest and most accurate options for synthetic insulin detection.

Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in the skin and seeds of grapes has been touted for a variety of health benefits. Now, a new study from Penn State researchers says the compound may also be effective at killing colon cancer stem cells.

There is no doubt that technology solutions help both sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) improve operational efficiencies and facilitate decision making. While one would expect to hear a similar story from all stakeholders involved in clinical trials, a recent survey suggests that these technologies are having the opposite effect at investigative sites - adding to what is already a heavy workload burden.

A new family of multichannel electronic pipettes is closing the gap between traditional manual pipettes and robotic systems. This new video will provide you with an informative insight into how to improve your biological sample processing and collection.

A new antibody has been developed that targets blood cancer in two ways, by killing the cancer cells directly and by pushing them out of the fostering bone marrow environment into outer bloodstreams so that they are more susceptible to other agents such as chemotherapy.

Consuming moderate amounts of chocolate was associated with significantly lower risk of being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation - a common and dangerous type of irregular heartbeat - in a large study of men and women in Denmark.

Liquid biopsies for various cancers are being developed as non-invasive early detection methods that could save lives and offer a more personalized approach to patients.

A noninvasive approach to drug delivery for next generation brain therapies uses ultrasound and bubbles.

Fortuitous discovery suggests how proteins may sequester and silence our genetic material.

It's a classic conundrum: while rushing to get to an important meeting or appointment on time, you spot a stranger in distress. How do you decide whether to stop and help, or continue on your way?
