But it requires sophisticated lab facilities for amplifying genes that are beyond the limited resources of most developing nations. "It will be very difficult to bring expensive technologies, machines and trained technicians on a wider scale," predicts Dr. Arvinder Pal Gill, district TB officer in Moga, in India's Punjab region. In addition, the test can detect only MDR TB, not the emerging XDR strains. But both...
...Federline’s corndog went for $520. So what about Biel’s wine glass? JT’s napkin? As Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Roberto Kolter attests, the saliva on the glass and whatever may linger in the napkin can prove valuable in a lab. “Even if a few thousand or a few hundred thousand molecules remain, you can still break it down and get a DNA sequence out of it,” Kolter says. But in spite of the wonders of modern technology, Noyer isn’t looking...
John McCain and Barack Obama are both selling theories about what kind of leader America needs in the 21st century. But the financial crisis yanked their notions out of the lab and tested them in real time, under a magnifying glass. And now we have a much clearer idea of what we would risk with either...
Paper was an ideal medium because it is cheap, lightweight, and widely available, Martinez said. He and his colleagues in the Whitesides lab have patterned the paper into a “microfluidic device” with channels that allow the fluid to be separated into different compartments where independent assays can take place...
...this location throughout the renovations, and certain departments—visitor services, security, and the education department—will remain close by in the Sackler. Still, not all of the museum’s departments have been relocated. The Strauss Conservation Center, which will move to a conservation lab in the off-site facility when renovations get underway, remains on the fourth floor of the Fogg and is actively aiding the museum as it prepares objects for transport. The Fine Arts Library, currently located in the Quincy Street building, will remain for now, albeit behind a security barrier that...
