This widely used immunoassay to probe samples for specific proteins and posttranslational modifications has potential time and material savings associated with variations of the transfer step. Whether it’s a simple buffer switch, or a more involved equipment swap - it’s always worthwhile to explore lab workflow efficiencies. Just take care not to risk a successful blot!
Read MoreAlcohol-based tissue fixation in place of formaldehyde, that’s the spirit!
Formaldehyde fixation may be the gold standard for preserving cells and tissues but alcohol-based fixation can deliver improved results in many biomolecular techniques - with the benefit of safer, greener chemistry.
Read MoreEffective and eco-friendly use of common lab surface disinfectants
Biologists have a heightened awareness of surface contamination and a preference for eco-friendly decontamination methods. It’s more important than ever to connect that awareness to effective lab practices. Learn how ineffective disinfection can increase both contamination and ecological risks.
Read MoreSpeeding up and greening up bacteria culture count methods
Isn’t it the best when lab sustainability synergetically improves both science and environmental stewardship? Reviewing your method to estimate unknown bacteria cell culture numbers is a great opportunity to reduce single-use lab plastic waste. It can also reduce your workload and support the accuracy of your experiments.
