Ice core 'dipstick' indicates West Antarctic ice has thinned less than believed
Rising sea levels 20,000 years ago, as the last ice age was beginning to wane, often are attributed in part to melting in West Antarctica. But in a new study led by University of Washington researchers, an ice core of 1,000 meters was used as a sort of dipstick to show that a key section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet probably never contained as much ice as scientists originally thought...Scientists design simple dipstick test for cocaine, other drugs
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a simple "dipstick" test for detecting cocaine and other drugs in saliva, urine or blood serum. The test is based upon DNA-gold nanoparticle technology, and can be packaged in user-friendly kits similar to those used for home pregnancy tests. "Building upon our earlier work with lead (Pb) sensors, we constructed c...DNA DipStick Kit from Invitrogen
Description:The DNA DipStick Kit is ideal for estimating nucleic acid concentrations and approximate yields. Works with ss- and ds-DNA, RNA, and oligonucleotides at concentrations as low as 0.1 ng/l....Indian Scientists Develop Dipstick Test for Dengue
Indian researchers have developed simple, safe and cost-effective dipstick for the early detection of dengue fever. The researchers say its low cost, sensitivity and ease of// use make it better than current tests for dengue. Nagesh Tripathi and colleagues at the India-based Defence Research and Development Establishment developed a way to efficiently produce a protein that the dengue...Clearview hCG Urine II -- Dipstick
