Restriction Endonucleases Undergo Rigorous QC Testing to Ensure Optimal Performance
Stratagene Restriction endonucleases are used in many molecular biology protocols,making the functional purity of critical importance. Each restriction enzymepreparation must be free of contaminants that can potentiall...Measurement of proteasome inhibition in live cells in Molecular Devices microplate fluorometers
Proteins inside eukaryotic cells exist in a dynamic state, in a highly-regulated balance between synthesis and degradation. Whereas prot...UV Absorbance Measurements in SpectraMax Microplate Spectrophotometers MaxLine Application Note #32)
Molecular Devices Corporation. 7/99 In 1994, Molecular Devices introduced SPECTRAmax , the first microplate reader equipped with a monochromator, rather than bandpass filters, for wavelength selection. It was also the first microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance below 340 nm. These new features transformed the micropl...Real pulse of the economy? Check real estate foreclosures

housands of engineers and scientists rely on LabVIEW for a variety of applications: test and measurement, process control and automation, monitoring and simulation. LabVIEW is the tool of choice due to its unparalleled connectivity to instruments, powerful data acquisition capabilities, natural dataflow-based graphical programming interface, scalability, and overall function comp...Screening of Corticosteroids in Urine by Negative Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization LC/MS/MS
Corticosteroids are a class of components often abused and misused in sport. They are very potent drugs in the treatment of inflammations and asthma [1]. Corticosteroids can have an effect on the nervous system and can improve an athletes...In Vitro Measurement of the Second Messenger cAMP: RIA vs. FlashPlate
Abnormalities in neurotransmission within the brain can lead to several disease states, including anxiety, depression or schizophrenia. Extensive research has been carried out to discover the mode of action of various transmitters, in order to understand and combat these diseases. In many cells, binding of the neurotransmitter to its recept...Phosphorescence lifetime measured using the SPEX phosphorimeter
A phosphorimeter integral to the SPEX system can uncover important information on various systems of chemical and biochemical interest, by revealing data normally masked by intense but rapid fluorescence. <P>This Application Not...Picking Vista sure seemed like a good idea at the time
