Efforts are underway to develop a more environmentally friendly process for dyeing denim with indigo, the storied "king of dyes," used to the tune of 50,000 tons annually to color cotton blue jeans and hundreds of other products. That effort is the topic of an article in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN). C&EN is the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society. In the article, C&EN Assistant...
New integrated circuit design could lead to cheaper, faster DNA sequencing As nanotechnology becomes ever more ubiquitous, researchers are using it to make medical diagnostics smaller, faster, and cheaper, in order to better diagnose diseases, learn more about inherited traits, and more. But as sensors get smaller, measuring them becomes more difficult—there is always a tradeoff between how long any measurement takes to make and how precise it is. And when a signal is very weak, the...
North Carolina State University researchers have created specially engineered mammalian cells to provide a new "chemical handle" which will enable researchers to label proteins of interest more efficiently, without disrupting the normal function of the proteins themselves or the cells in which they are found. Protein labeling is used by researchers in a variety of fields to help them understand how these important molecules affect the normal functioning of cells. Currently, proteins are...
The Life Sciences Website EurekaMag.com publishes articles in all areas of biological science. The latest articles cover Cerebrum which is a part of the forebrain directing the conscious or volitional motor functions of the body, DAPI which is a fluorescent stain that binds strongly to A-T rich regions in DNA and is extensively in fluorescence microscopy. The article on Isaac Newton covers one of the greatest and most influential physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher,...
Research presented at ASCB annual meeting New fluorescent labeling technology that distinguishes in a single image the population size and spatial distribution of 15 different taxa has uncovered new taxon pairings that indicate unsuspected cooperation -- and standoffishness -- between members of the microbe biofilm that covers teeth, according to a presentation on Dec. 7, at the American Society for Cell Biology's Annual Meeting in Denver. Members of the genera Prevotella and...

SHANGHAI, Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- "InterDye", known around the world as the largest and one of the best professional exhibitions in the dye-chemical industry, will land in Ahmedabad, India from 8 to 10, December 2011, occupying an exhibition area of about 5,000 square meters. This will be the first stop on its Asia tour. Up until now, almost 100 famous companies have had their booths in this exhibition including Huntsman, JAY Chemical, Bodal Chemicals, Colourtex Industries,...
With all the pressures on the fabric dyeing industry to use less water and since the release of the report by Greenpeace on Fabric Dying in China, Katmandu and Critical Masses' phones, emails and fax machines have been ringing from companies within the United States, the E.U., Latin America, China, India, the Middle East, and South Africa. All of these companies are asking about the new green dyeing process called Kinetic Colorizationâ„¢, which uses Physics, not water or...
American Peptide Company recently began a collaboration with Sandia Biotech to synthesize peptides to be used in their Split Green Fluorescent Protein (sGFP) detection system. Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) August 04, 2011 American Peptide Company recently began a collaboration with Sandia Biotech to synthesize peptides to be used in their Split Green Fluorescent Protein (sGFP) detection system. The split GFP technology consists of a 16 amino acid fusion tag and a complementary protein to detect...
