Flow cytometry has not traditionally been considered a core component of the microbiology toolkit, however technical advances coupled with developments in microbe-specific staining, acoustic focusing and imaging are increasing the scope of its applications.

Working at the correct safety level depending on the given organism or toxin you are working with in a biosafety lab is essential to minimize the risk of laboratory-associated infections and contamination of the environment. Each biosafety level has its associated risk assessments, microbiological practices and containment procedures for you to follow.

Maintaining high-level biosafety laboratories is key in protecting public health, scientific research and national biosecurity. However, when working with infectious agents and toxins, there is so much more to consider than just the physical design and build of a lab.

Greater appreciation for the complex and dynamic connections between metabolic poise and immune cell function enables researchers to monitor and control how metabolic reprogramming and microenvironmental signals affect the function, fate and fitness of immune cells.

Cell-based assays offer extensive advantages across multiple fields of research, advantages that can be maximised by the specialised features and high throughput capabilities of microplate readers.

In the “Quality by Design” approach for monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapeutics development, stability characterization—the probability of a protein unfolding—is performed to ensure that structure and function are preserved throughout development and manufacturing.

Traditionally, microorganisms have been studied through culturing individual species or strains using artificial culture media; however, of the ~10 million species so far catalogued, only ~10,000 have been cultured in the laboratory.

Understanding of infectious diseases has increased exponentially, but the challenge of keeping up with variants, mutations and novel pathogens is still significant. The immune response is far more diverse than assumed—every step involves a range of different responses.

Traditional approaches have enabled researchers to make great strides in understanding the complexities of cancer biology, and to translate ground-breaking discoveries into lifesaving cancer treatments and therapies.
