A comprehensive strategy for evaluating wound care products are studying their antimicrobial activity and potential cytotoxicity for relevant cell types. NMR capabilities extend well beyond the 1-dimensional 1H NMR spectra…
The variable temperature (VT) unit on our machine uses a thermocouple wire to measure the temperature of “the sample.” However, because the thermocouple wire does not physically touch the sample…
NMR capabilities extend well beyond the 1-dimensional 1H NMR spectra that organic chemists typically acquire. We strive to educate organic chemists on the techniques that can help them obtain the…
Chronic non-healing wounds, such as venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and pressure ulcers cause tremendous patient suffering. Treatment of such wounds presents a serious unmet medical need. Strategies that optimize the…
Microbial resistance to drug therapy is an area of increasing concern (http://www.cdc.gov/features/AntibioticResistanceThreats/index.html). The emergence of drug resistance in microorganisms can occur by several different mechanisms (Debabov, 2013), one particular mechanism…
