Protein Melting Instrument performs thermal shift assays.

2015-04-09 14:31:07| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

Automated PCR LightCycler® 1536 allows life science researchers to perform thermal shift assays in 1536-well applications. Plate-based real-time PCR amplification and detection system generates 1,536 data points in single PCR run in under 50 min. System also produces data for high-throughput gene expression profiling and genotyping. Featuring Therma-Base technology, it heats as quickly as 4.8°C/sec, improving speed and accuracy in protein melt results.

Melting ice slows down ocean circulation

2015-03-29 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Living on Earth: The Atlantic Conveyor Belt is a system of ocean currents that bring warm temperatures and important nutrients to the waters off of East Coast America and Western Europe. But as global warming melts ice in Greenland, the influx of fresh water seems to be slowing the northward drift down and could shut the system down altogether. Climate scientist Michael Mann tells host Steve Curwood that could spell trouble for the ocean and the economy. Transcript CURWOOD: It's Living on Earth. I'm Steve Curwood....

Melting of Antarctica was already really bad. It just got worse

2015-03-17 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Washington Post: A hundred years from now, humans may remember 2014 as the year that we first learned that we may have irreversibly destabilized the great ice sheet of West Antarctica, and thus set in motion more than 10 feet of sea level rise. Meanwhile, 2015 could be the year of the double whammy -- when we learned the same about one gigantic glacier of East Antarctica, which could set in motion roughly the same amount all over again. Northern Hemisphere residents and Americans in particular should take note...

Greenland is melting -- The past might tell what the future holds

2015-02-20 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

[NEWS] A team of scientists lead by Danish geologist Nicolaj Krog Larsen have managed to quantify how the Greenland Ice Sheet reacted to a warm period 8,000-5,000 years ago. Back then temperatures were 2-4 degrees C warmer than present. Their results have just been published in the scientific journal Geology, and are important as we are rapidly closing in on similar temperatures. While the world is preparing for a rising global sea-level, a group of scientists led by Dr. Ni…
