Choose Love
As far as we know, human beings are the only life forms on the planet with conscious awareness – the ability to know that we know and to be aware that we are aware. We’re able to perceive both our inner and outer environments and we can make conscious choices about where we direct one of our most valuable gifts: our attention. - Tim Brieske, M.D.
The power of love…

Imagine a machine capable of heating, cooling, and mixing your samples. Would it be ideal for cDNA synthesis, enzyme reactions, denaturation and labeling of nucleotides and protein polymers, cultivation, and transformation of bacteria with plasmids? How about the ability to handle 96 well plates, tubes from 200 µL to 50 mL?
If this sounds like your ideal piece of lab equipment, join us for a Breathe & Learn session with Leonardo Valdivieso-Torres Ph.D., International Sales Manager at USA Scientific. We will talk about the exciting Mixer HC and many of its applications.
Ask our Technical Team to add you to the ZOOM registration list and we will send you a $5 Tim Horton's Card following your attendance at the webinar.
EpiCypher Webinar – Nucleosomes Dictate the Histone Code
Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in chromatin regulation and we now have the required tools to critically re-evaluate the genomic distribution / regulatory function(s) of histone PTMs, and should re-define the ‘histone code’ concept at the nucleosomal level.
