Searching for Diseases and Cures
Summary: Scientists are devising new methods to detect viruses with relative certainty. Part of the challenge that comes with treating a disease like malaria is being able to track the infection before the patient succumbs to it. In these battles of time, every hour counts and more effort is being put into solutions that allow…

The Basics of Anti-Microbial Coatings
Anytime there is an opening into the body, such as when a catheter is used, micro-organisms can fester. Medical devices are a necessity, but without proper treatment can also lead to infections. Microorganisms, including bacteria, infiltrate the body through these openings and slow the healing process or create entirely new problems. Anti-microbial coatings applied with…

Altering Oligos to Improve Research Efficiency
Recreating the conditions for a specific medical condition is not easy in a laboratory. It can be difficult to track down willing subjects for testing, and some countries make it illegal to do so entirely. It is also difficult to study just the disease on a genetic level. This kind of granular understanding is necessary…

Synthetic Genetics is Groundbreaking
By The Midland Certified Reagent Company To many, it may be hard to grasp the idea of a synthetic gene. But, in principle, it’s very simple, its ramifications, not so much. Thanks to our grasp on RNA and DNA, scientists have learned how to essentially build genes. It’s not a perfect science at the moment,…

How Vacuum Evaporation Works
Vacuum evaporation is used to prepare foods, but it can be used in other industries to create products we use every day. Written by: Denton Vacuum, LLC A vacuum evaporation system causes liquid to evaporate, which creates pressure. The chamber reduces that pressure to below the vapor pressure of the liquid, effectively evaporating water and…
