Did your 2020 goals go as planned? We bet they didn’t! This year and its many turns affected the schedule of most industries and shifted public interest towards the scientific community. Despite the current global health crisis, research continues […]
“Cash is king” they say, and one could argue, it is one of the dirtiest kings out there. Research on the contamination burden of currency points to the benefits of a cashless society, and whether this solution may seem constrictive, imperative, or […]
UV LED radiation has proven to be an effective and innovative measure for disinfection and decontamination. Particular wavelengths affect different bonds within biological molecules. Therefore, determining what wavelengths are most effective against […]
Great news appear in the Covid-19 prevention research landscape! Recent studies from Boston University have concluded 22 mJ/cm2 of UVC light should be enough dose to approach 6 log reduction of the Sars-CoV-2 virus (also known as corona-virus) that […]
Previous research has shown that KeyProTM (Phoseon Technology) rapidly and reliably decontaminates laboratory pipetman (1, 2). The unanswered question is, how necessary is this decontamination? Here we present a quantification of the contamination […]
What is currently being used?
Current procedures for vaccine research often utilize gamma radiation to inactivate a virus while leaving host protein structures intact for further analysis like ELISAs. Unfortunately, gamma radiation technology is not […]
Certainly so! The principle behind vaccinations is to trigger an immune response that will provide us with antibodies to prevent infection in the future. This goal can be accomplished through a variety of mechanisms that are encompassed in 4 […]
RNase A Contamination: Unpredictable and Catastrophic
Working from previous knowledge that 275nm and 365nm sources work synergistically to speed RNase A inactivation, we used these wavelengths on Greiner Bio-One flat-bottomed black opaque microplates. Sample wells were first treated with 0.01u/mL of […]
Many experiments are carried out in Tris buffers because they are nearly bulletproof at maintaining a neutral pH regardless of what you (metabolically) throw at them. These buffers cannot be subjected to the same decontamination methods, as DEPC […]
The KeyPro™ KP100 system is the first in a family of products designed specifically to take advantage of Phoseon’s SLM™ LED Technology for Life Sciences applications. The KP100 is initially targeted at microplate, preparatory slide, and small […]
