Bulked segregant analysis using the goldengate assay to locate the Rpp3 Locus that confers resistance to soybean rust in soybean
Few resistance loci to soybean rust (SBR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd., have been genetically mapped and linked to molecular markers that can be used for marker assisted selection. New technologies are available for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping that can be used to rapidly map traits controlled by single loci such as resistance to SBR. Our objective was to demonstrate ...

Matrix LIMS Brings Time Savings and Efficiency Gains - Case Study
By replacing an inflexible LIMS with MATRIX Gemini LIMS, the analytical laboratory at a leading metal refiner has been able to incorporate 100% of its test records and results. The Autoscribe Informatics LIMS solution can be easily configured to meet the laboratory workflow rather than laboratory practices being adjusted to fit the LIMS. Ongoing in-house configuration has refined procedures to ...

Asbestos in Dusts Can Pose Health and Safety Issues for Building Occupants
Asbestos was used heavily in many building materials in the United States up until the mid-1980s. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “Asbestos fibers may be released into the air by the disturbance of asbestos-containing material during product use, demolition work, building or home maintenance, repair, and remodeling.” The EPA goes on to report, ...

EP Dust collections manufacturing case study
Client: Sodexo FM- Pilkington plc Location: Greengate Works, St Helens Date: Ongoing Sector: Manufacturing About the Project: GPT were contacted by the client following the set-up of a new manufacturing process on site. This resulted in the production of a new waste stream, the exact composition of which was unknown. The requirement was to remove large quantities of up to 13 tonnes of the waste ...

Hydrogen carrier gas for total petroleum hydrocarbon analysis
Many labs are facing helium supply difficulties and rapid price increases as a result of the helium shortage. Lab managers are therefore looking for alternative carrier gases and for many GC applications, hydrogen provides an excellent alternative to helium. Using a hydrogen generator can supply gas to a whole lab and at the same time remove the danger of storing hydrogen in the lab. Laboratories ...

A geochemical and statistical approach for assessing heavy metal pollution in sediments from the southern Caspian coast
Abstract: The nearshore marine environment of the Caspian sea is a major repository for toxic metals originating from various sources. Since the persistent toxic metals pose serious health risks this research concentrated on investigating the concentrations and spatial distribution of metals in the nearshore sediments along the Iranian coast of the Caspian sea. Fourteen sampling sites were ...

Surface Decontamination of Asbestos by DeconGel 1101
Abstract Determine the surface decontamination efficacy of DeconGelTM 1101 on linoleum tile, painted drywall and concrete surfaces contaminated with Asbestos fibers (Chrysotile fibers) was performed with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM; ASTM Standard Test Method: D6480- 05) and Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM; EPA approved method for analysis of asbestos from bulk samples). Hazardous ...

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Surveys in High-Rise Commercial/Residential Buildings
We have developed a distinctive approach to evaluating individual tenant spaces and entire high-rise buildings for air quality, including molds and chemicals. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and Building Related Disease (BRD) are more likely in large commercial spaces because of the complexity of the HVAC systems, variety of tenants, space constraints and the surrounding area. As buildings age, the ...
