Power on: SU professor and team work on solar energy technology Sep 17, 2009
Shelves of beakers line the walls, dozens of samples stand waiting to be prepped for testing and caddies of pipettes sit on nearly every countertop. At first glance, Mathew Maye's laboratory looks like a typical lab. (Daily Orange, NY)
Dividing Cells 'Feel' Their Way Out Of Warp Sep 11, 2009
In the experiments, as soon as the two proteins accumulated to a certain level, the cells contracted, escaping the pipettes and assuming their original shapes. After the cells righted themselves, the proteins realigned along the cells' midlines and pinched to divide symmetrically into two daughter cells. (Science Daily)
Bones mystery solved Sep 8, 2009
Some of the artifacts include broken window glass, medicine bottles, pipettes, liquor bottles and metal medical instruments, all consistent with the late 19th century. The team hopes to complete its study in the next several weeks and eventually present its findings at the South Eastern Archeology Conference in November. (Gamecock Online, SC)
Protein structures revealed at record pace Jul 21, 2009
To maximize speed, Hura installed a robot that automatically pipettes protein samples into position so they can be analyzed by x-ray scattering. And to analyze the resulting data, they used the supercomputing resources of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), which is based at Berkeley Lab.

A's reliever has medical career on hold May 28, 2009
He likes research but said recently, "I've always dealt better with people and personalities than pipettes and balances." Whatever those are. There's a story that Yogi Berra was on a Yankee bus ride, sitting next to infielder Bobby Brown, who was studying to become a cardiologist. (San Francisco Chronicle -- Sports)
Previously, some researchers and law-enforcement officials have raised red flags. May 13, 2009
Using pipettes and other equipment borrowed from his community college, he extracts viruses called bacteriophage from sewage and grows them in petri dishes. Mr. Holtzman's goal: Breed them to survive the high temperatures of the human body, where he thinks they might be useful in killing bad bacteria. (Harper's Magazine)
Carbon Nanotube Device That Can Detect Colors Of The Rainbow Constructed May 5, 2009
13, 2007) Researchers have successfully developed carbon nanotube-tipped pipettes that could become key to cell biology in-situ DNA sequencing and organelle-targeted drug. (Jan. (Science Daily)
H1N1 flu: Reconstructing a puzzling outbreak May 3, 2009
The lab will start by infecting ferrets by squirting pipettes of the virus into their nostrils and then housing them with uninfected ferrets. More than two dozen pigs are on order. (Honolulu Advertiser)
Basic guides to PCR, labeling neurons featured in Cold Spring Harbor Protocols Apr 2, 2009
The loading of individual cells with fluorescent probes via patch pipettes is regularly performed in neuroscience research laboratories ... Arthur Konnerth and colleagues from the Institut fr Physiologie der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitt Mnchen () have written "Dye Loading with Patch Pipettes," available in the April issue. (EurekAlert!)
Researchers Cheer Obama's Vote for Stem-Cell Science Mar 10, 2009
Lab personnel had to log each minute they spent studying embryonic cells and had to keep all equipment, from computers to pens and pipettes, separate. Often, different lab facilities had to be built to avoid any potential crossover of funds. (Time.com)
