You know it’s time to get a laboratory information management system (LIMS), but that’s a huge decision you aren’t authorized to make. So, how do you convince people far removed from what happens in your lab to approve a new LIMS? This guide will suggest ways to build a data-backed business case that makes it easy to say “yes” to a new LIMS. [Read More]

Therapeutic antibody discovery and development labs assay hundreds to thousands of antibody candidates daily to hone in on the best candidates for clinical development. Accurate, complete plate maps are critical for sample traceability and experiment reproducibility. Using LIMSense™, a modern LIMS from AduroSys, can ensure seamless integration between instruments and LIMS without sacrificing flexibility in plate map design. [Read More]

In this 2023 article published in the journal Water, Marebesi et al. of the University of Georgia present their findings on phytoremediation of Cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils using day-neutral and photoperiod-sensitive hemp plants. After a thorough introduction on the topic of using Cannabis plants for phytoremediation (including the flowers), the authors present their materials and methods, focusing on Apricot Auto, Alpha Explorer, Von, and T1 varieties of hemp. They then present the results of their experiments, addressing plant height, biomass yield, Cd concentrations in various plant tissues, nutrient partitioning, and THC/CBD concentrations. They conclude noting that "while Cd concentration was significantly higher in roots, all four varieties were efficient in translocating Cd from roots to shoots." They also conclude that THC/CBD loss is affected by remediation in some cases, as was height and biomass. Finally, they highlight the importance of Cd testing of flowers for medical markets where the plant is used.
