| Determining the Geologic Provenance of Tiny Obsidian Flakes in Archaeology Using Nondestructive EDXRF |
by Richard E. Hughes
The beginning of the 1960s witnessed the widespread introduction of physical sciences methods and techniques in archaeology. Along with instrumental neutron activation, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis was among the first techniques to be applied to archaeological research and the subsequent collaboration between archaeologists, geologists, and chemists provided archaeology with a new ability to employ instrumental measurement techniques to determine, with a great degree of confidence, the parent geological source materials from which prehistoric obsidian artifacts were manufactured…

| HUBER Minichillers® reduce water consumption and improve process efficiencies |
 |
The compact Minichiller® from HUBER reduces water consumption to zero, offering a low cost, chilled water supply with environmentally friendly refrigeration for a variety of laboratory applications.
With the ever rising cost and environmental impact of waste water, Scientists and Facility Managers are increasingly looking for alternative ways of cooling applications in the laboratory. A calculation, based on water consumption, shows that in a working week (8-hours a day, 5 days a week), the Minichiller® saves approximately 48,000 litres of water, and as the Minichiller® is low in cost, it offers a fast return on investment which can be measured in months…

| The Path to the Paperless Laboratory: A Workstation-Based Consumables Inventory Management System |
by John P. Helfrich
In all analytical laboratories, the purchase, preparation, storage, and control of chemical reagents, standards, and working reagents are routine tasks. In a compliant environment (such as the life science industry), the documentation of important metadata concerning the solutions and materials is critical for proper control of the preparation process and assurance of proper procedural completeness, accuracy, and documentation. Key information such as manufacturer, purchase date, quantity, expiration date, usage by analyst, and minimum inventory needs is required to effectively manage the operations and provide the context link of these consumables to the analytical data. Today, the traditional process is paper-based using notebooks and forms that often require reviews and approvals by peers or supervisors. In a paper-based environment, the chemical reagents and materials management is subject to resource training and compliance with standard operating procedures that are often difficult to monitor and control…

| 2-D in a Day: A Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Work Flow Completed in Under Five Hours |
by Gary B. Smejkal and Darren J. Bauer
While O'Farrell1 first described two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) of proteins 35 years ago, it remains one of the most widely used tools in proteomics today. Continuing refinements of 2DE, particularly the development of immobilized pH gradients,2 new surfactants that increase and maintain protein solubility,3 and sample fractionation,4 have further increased the utility of the method…
