Smooth Surface microplates feature no logo or
lettering for improved heat sealing and liquid handling. Solid black or white high base well bottoms and black clear bottom low base well bottoms are optimized for top and bottom reader sensitivity, respectively. Superior flatness minimizes intraplate and interplate variability. Multiple surfaces available.

Scientists unveil new tools for rewriting code of life
eBio News Share
The power to edit genes is as revolutionary, immediately useful and unlimited in its potential as was Johannes Gutenberg's printing press. And like Gutenberg's invention, most DNA editing tools are slow, expensive and hard to use — a brilliant technology in its infancy. Now, Harvard researchers developing genome-scale editing tools have rewritten the genome of living cells using the genetic equivalent of search
and replace.

Underground experiments would address questions of 'paramount importance'
National Academy of Sciences Share
Proceeding with three physics experiments planned for the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory would provide an "exceptional opportunity" for major scientific advances and give the U.S. a leading role in underground science, says a new report by the National Research Council. Although the future of DUSEL is uncertain, each of the proposed experiments addresses at least one crucial unanswered
question.

Natural chemical found in grapes may protect against Alzheimer's
Science Daily Share
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that grape seed polyphenols — a natural antioxidant — may help prevent the development or delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The research, led by Giulio Maria Pasinetti, Professor of Psychiatry and Geriatrics and Adult Development at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, was published
online in the current issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

Shortening drug development cycle with new silicon-based screening tool
Nanowerk Share
Researchers from A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics have developed a lateral silicon-based drug screening tool that has demonstrated simultaneous capture of 12 individual cells — 12 times higher throughput than conventional patch clamping. The device can be scaled up to allow 1536 cell-recordings simultaneously, permitting 16 times higher throughput than existing planar patch clamp approach.

US support needed to expand assault on neglected diseases
Speaking of Medicine (blog) Share
If you asked average Americans if they've ever heard of sleeping sickness, river blindness or elephantiasis, you'd probably get puzzled looks. But ask a Congolese, Sudanese or Bangladeshi about these parasitic diseases, and you might get a nod of the head or perhaps even a point in the direction of someone who has been infected.

A new push against HIV
Chemical & Engineering News Share
The National Institutes of Health is providing three research teams — each consisting of an academic and an industry partner — with up to five years of funding to develop
new strategies for combating HIV. The agency plans to spend as much as $70 million to support the new anti-HIV research program. Merck & Co. will participate in two of the three projects, joining forces with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the University of California, San Francisco.
