Researchers use SIG-Blocks for cognitive testing and training of adults and children

Psychologists have long used building blocks to assess cognitive skills. But researchers at Case Western Reserve University are imbedding the blocks with technology that may provide a clearer view of problems a child or adult may suffer due to developmental disabilities, brain trauma or dementia.

METTLER TOLEDO announces new white paper to help users prepare faster, accurate samples

Out-of-specification (OOS) results can have a significant impact on the profitability and even reputation of a pharmaceutical or biotech company. Yet workflows to prepare samples manually, which rely on volumetric flasks and subjective meniscus reading, have not changed significantly in nearly 100 years.

Implementation of large-scale genomic tumor profiling viable but faces several challenges

Researchers leading the largest genomic tumor profiling effort of its kind say such studies are technically feasible in a broad population of adult and pediatric patients with many different types of cancer, and that some patients can benefit by receiving precision drugs targeted to their tumors' mutations or being enrolled in clinical trials.
