NASA MEPAG: Analysis of arguments for and against removing the sample cache hardware from MSL

The primary benefit of the sample cache on MSL is the potential increase in the likelihood of Mars Sample Return. The primary quantifiable risk of retaining the cache is in mission operations. The immediate concern is the impact of the cache on implementation of the sample observation tray and possible enhancements to the sample delivery system that may be needed for the MSL analytical instruments to meet their measurement goals.

Genevac: miVac Biological Sample Concentrators Demonstration more>>>

An insight into the ease of operation and simplicity of the miVac range of biological sample concentrators. The diversity of sample formats accommodated are shown - from microtubes to microplates, along with the width and breadth of the range of components which makes the miVac range best in class for many applications, including DNA sample preparation, bio-fluids and extracts preparation and forensics.

"Wasteful" Sample Storage Box Removed from Mars Science Laboratory

NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) has been beset by technical challenges and inevitable budget overruns. The nuclear-powered rover is set for an October 2009 launch and engineers are doubling their efforts to ensure the MSL makes it to the launchpad on time. In an attempt to save money and (hopefully) time, MSL program managers have decided to remove a $2 million component from the car-sized wheeled robot. A sample storage box was conceived long after the initial MSL science goals were drawn up (a pretty controversial decision in itself), so analysed rock samples could be saved for a possible future Mars sample-return mission.

Quiet & Productive Biological Sample Concentrator

The versatile, budget priced miVac Duo biological sample concentrator from Genevac rapidly removes a wide range of solvents. Featuring a high displacement pump, the unit typically removes water up to 40% faster than similar concentrators and is extremely quiet.

NASA Media Day on Mars Sample Analysis Instruments

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. invites reporters to participate in a special Media Day that will highlight NASA's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite set to fly on the upcoming Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover mission scheduled for launch in the fall of 2009. Media Day will be held on Thursday, December 4, 2008 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. EST.

Mars Lander Starts Winter Shutdown

This image, taken by Phoenix's Surface Stereo Imager (SSI) on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2008 (sol, or Martian day, 142) shows Martian dirt piled on top of the spacecraft's deck and some of its instruments. In the upper-left are several wet chemistry cells of the lander's Microscopy, Electrochemistry, and Conductivity Analyzer (MECA). In the lower right is the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer. The excess sample delivered to the MECA’s sample stage can be seen on the deck in the lower left portion of the image. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona/Max Planck Institute

Helicos Launches Open Access Web Site With Microbial Genome Data

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(Business Wire)-- Helicos BioSciences Corporation (NASDAQ:HLCS) today announced the launch of the HeliSphere(TM) Technology Center, an open access Web site (http://open.helicosbio.com/) for sharing Helicos data sets and bioinformatics software tools. Launched during the 58th annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics, the open source site showcases single molecule sequence reads from whole genome resequencing and digital gene expression runs using the Helicos(TM) Genetic Analysis System. The first sample datasets released include whole genome sequences of the microbes Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Rhodobacter sphaeroides, sequenced with consensus accuracies greater than 99.995%. Each sample dataset, containing between six and 12 million aligned reads, was generated from one channel of a 50-ch

FEI's Titan Krios TEM Selected By Leading Life Science Research Centers in Asia

FEI Company (Nasdaq: FEIC), a leading provider of high-resolution imaging and analysis systems, announced today that three of the top life sciences research centers in Asia--National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University (Beijing), and the Institute of Biophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing)--have selected the Titan Krios(TM) transmission electron microscope (TEM) to support their research programs in structural molecular biology. Based on FEI's renowned Titan(TM) TEM platform, the Titan Krios combines the power of the Titan electron optics, with a sophisticated cryogenic sample stage and sample handling robotics for a completely automated, high-throughput life sciences TEM solution. FEI's Titan Krios enables researchers to create three-dimensional molecular-level images of biological material in its native hydrated

PCI Sample Encryption Key Management Documentation

In the four years since merchants were required to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), CTG has found many clients still struggling with encryption implementation. While many have successfully deployed various encryption products to protect customer payment data these implementations often lack the proper documentation with regard to the encryption key management.
