Stability Chamber Helps Evaluate Extended-Release Drugs
Anything that helps patients follow their treatment regimen is good. One common example is the idea of reducing the number of pills that a patient needs to take. That is, rather than giving a small dose at 4 hour intervals, you give a larger dose at 8 hour intervals. That doesn’t work, though, if the

Measuring Amphibian Defensive Skin Secretions Without Sacrifice
It’s much harder to measure anything when the measurement destroys your sample. If your sample is a living organism, then it’s even more difficult: you have to maintain lots of organisms and then extrapolate the condition of one sacrificed animal to another sacrificed at a different time. It’s even worse when your sample animal is

How Do You Treat Heat-Related Symptoms When Everything is Hot?
Just in case you were lacking reasons, here’s one more reason to admire people who serve in the military. This 1994 report from the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine summarizes the experience of an army brigade during a three week simulated battle training exercise. Specifically, the report examines heat stress suffered by the

One of the Laboratory’s Timeless Tools: the Incubator
Some laboratory instruments are almost timeless. Sure, technology advances, but the basic role of the instruments are so essential to laboratory operations that older versions are simply replaced with newer. The analytical balance is one such instrument, and the laboratory incubator is another. This 1952 paper outlines work done by researchers at the Department of

Weigh, Weigh, Weigh, and Away We Go
Here’s a cute little video illustrating the measurement of percent water in a hydrate. Actually the video isn’t that cute, but the music is. And I find it kind of irritating when someone uses “mass” as a verb, presumably in some attempt to clarify the difference between mass and weight, but really, can’t you just
