New Technology May Enable Earlier Cancer Diagnosis
December 17, 2012 3:41 pm | by MIT | News | CommentsFinding ways to diagnose cancer earlier could greatly improve the chances of survival for many patients. One way to do this is to look for specific proteins secreted by cancer cells, which circulate in the bloodstream. However, the quantity of these biomarkers is so low that detecting them has proven difficult. A new technology may help to make biomarker detection much easier.

Evaluation of a New Nano-Type UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
March 3, 2011 4:11 am | White PapersAnalysis of one- to four-microliter size samples for nucleic acids has become routine in many life science laboratories. However, until now, available instruments require considerable manipulation of the instrument and sample; some require manually recording the data. The user must typically lower and raise the arm manually, then wipe the sample manually from the target after each analysis. And fiberoptics used in some of these instruments are subject to deterioration.
Benchtop NMR Spectrometer
March 1, 2011 7:41 am | Product Releases | CommentsThe 45-MHz picoSpin spectrometer from Cole-Parmer resolves proton chemical shifts with a resolution of 100 parts per billion using a very small sample volume of less than 20 microliters.
