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...
Genetic markers are bits of genetic material, like genes or a DNA sequence, that are easily identifiable and used in laboratories as a way to tell apart cells, individuals, and species. Gene markers are often used to research and study relationships between an...
Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction qPCR is a laboratory technique used to detect a specific DNA sequence or sequences. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction qPCR is common in both scientific research and diagnostics for detecting the presence of...
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,...
A technique with the ability to both track and identify bacteria
The United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health NIOSH publishes a Manual of Analytical Methods. The methods detail sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, and in the blood and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed....
DNA microarrays allow scientists to learn about many genes at once
Over 1500 standards ensure that our highways and roads are constructed efficiently and safely
Extractables and leachables testing helps the pharmaceutical industry identify extractables and leachables from drug packaging, containers, or container closures before they pose a risk to patients. Extractables extract from a container or device under controlled...
Epigenetics is the study of changes or variations in gene expression that are caused by external factors switching the genes on and off, ultimately affecting how they are expressed. Epigenetic changes occur naturally though they can be influenced by age, lifestyle,...
Translational science is a newly popular term used in the biomedical world. Also called translational medicine or translational research, it is a term used to describe turning or translating, laboratory or other scientific observations into new treatments or...
The Controlled Substance Act was passed as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. It has schedules for the control of 5 classifications of drugs. The US Food and Drug Administration and the US Drug Enforcement Administration...
The Scoville Heat Scale, devised by Wilbur Scoville in 1912, has long been the benchmark for measuring the pungency of chili peppers and other spicy foods. While the original method was a sensory test, modern laboratory professionals rely on more objective, precise...
