High-throughput spheroid microplate benefits cancer research, drug screening

When it comes to organic synthesis, drug discovery, or natural products/polymer chemistry, one of the trickiest but most ubiquitous steps in the workflow is evaporation. For many years, chemists have struggled with the task of rapidly and efficiently evaporating solvents that have high boiling points – think DMF or DMSO. The standard rotary evaporator in the lab is not ideal for getting rid of these solvents; it is painstakingly slow in such cases, must be closely monitored, and can easily bump.

Norgen Biotek Corp., an innovative privately held Canadian biotechnology company focusing primarily on advancing powerful tools for nucleic acid and protein stabilization and purification, today announced their unique cf-DNA/cf-RNA Preservative Tubes were found to be the most suitable for liquid biopsy when compared to other leading competitor's blood collection tubes (BCTs)
