Glycemic Index Testing is used to rank food containing carbohydrates based on their impact on a person's blood sugar and insulin. Foods with a high Glycemic Index raise a person's blood sugar more than foods with a lower GI. The scale goes from 0-100 with pure...
Barbara McClintock was born June 16, 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. During high school, she developed a love of science and was determined to continue her studies at Cornell University studying agriculture, and in 1923, she received her BS in botany. McClintock...
Researchers identify 16 metabolite compounds used to differentiate between women with and without early-stage ovarian cancer
An immunoassay is a highly sensitive chemical test done to detect a substance in blood or other bodily fluid sample. Immunoassays have been used to track things like proteins, hormones, drugs, tumor markers, and antibodies, as well as to detect contaminants. The...
Need anti-viral testing and research? Contract Laboratory receives many requests for anti-viral testing. Today, we received a request from a University Medical researcher needing a laboratory for conducting In-Vitro testing of a polyherbal formulation against H1N1...
Medical device irritation testing is a highly regulated industry (read more about medical device cleaning and validation) with requirements for cleaning, sterilization, reprocessing, and irritation testing. Similar to biocompatibility, irritation testing determines...
DNA purification, a cornerstone technique in molecular biology, is a process designed to extract and purify DNA from various biological samples. This crucial procedure not only facilitates the isolation of DNA but also ensures its purity, making it suitable for a...
Cytokines, small proteins crucial for cell signaling, play pivotal roles in the immune system's response to infection, inflammation, and trauma. They are key mediators in the body's defense mechanism, coordinating the battle against diseases and infections....
Genetics and genomics testing are tests that involve genetic material. Though similar, genetics and genomics are actually quite different. Genetics is the study of single genes and how they affect a person, while genomics is the study of all an organism's genes....
Microbiology is the study of living organisms too small to be seen by the naked eye, like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and algae, also known as microbes. Microbes play important roles in food, bodily functions, biodegradation, control of disease, and even...
Candida is a type of yeast that causes most types of fungal infections and is the cause of most bloodstream infections. Though normal amounts of candida are often harmless, if an overgrowth occurs it can cause infection in people and animals such as candidiasis,...
