The current scientific paradigm, based upon an erroneous assumption of linear biologic reality and simple cause and effect relationships, has outlived its usefulness. In order to begin to turn the voluminous data the reductive process provides us with daily into meaningful understanding of life, it is essential to integrate these data within a complex, multi-frequency temporo-spatial framework....

Description: Integrating SAMPLE PREPARATION conference webcast, a part of the Knowledge Foundation’s Detection Technologies Conference Series an internationally recognized meeting for experts in sample preparation technologies for detection, identification and analysis of biological and chemical agents and threats, will explore the latest R&D developments as well as ready-to-market technologies...

Standoff detection measuring the fluorescence spectra of seven different biological agents excited by 294 nm as well as 355 nm wavelength laser pulses has been undertaken. The biological warfare agent simulants were released in a semi-closed aerosol chamber at 210 m standoff distance and excited by light at either of the two wavelengths using the same instrument. Significant differences in seve...

Controlling the assembly of basic structural building blocks in a systematic and orderly fashion is an emerging issue in various areas of science and engineering such as physics, chemistry, material science, biological engineering, and electrical engineering. The self-assembly technique, among many other kinds of ordering techniques, has several unique advantages and the M13 bacteriophage can b...

Screening for biologics, in particular antibody drugs, has evolved significantly over the last 20 years. Initially, the screening processes and technologies from many years experience with small molecules were adopted and modified to suit the needs of biologics discovery. Since then, antibody drug discovery has matured significantly and is today investing earlier in new technologies that commer...

Biomarkers are characteristic biological properties that can be detected and measured in a variety of biological matrices in the human body, including the blood and tissue, to give an indication of whether there is a threat of disease, if a disease already exists, or how such a disease may develop in an individual case. Along the continuum from exposure to clinical disease and progression, expo...
