The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded annually for outstanding discoveries in the fields of life sciences and medicine that benefit humankind.
This year, the prize was awarded jointly to three Americans—Michael Rosbash, Jeffrey C. Hall, and Michael W. Young—for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm, the internal biological clock that regulates critical functions such as behavior, hormone levels, sleep, body temperature and metabolism.
When conducting surgery with anesthesia on small animals in a clinical setting, special care must be taken to maintain the animal’s body temperature at its optimum level. Adequate body temperature is important not only for the comfort of the animal and physiological well-being, but to minimize risks from anesthesia and encourage recovery from the surgery.
When the southern United States was hit by the one-two punch of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, homes and humans weren’t the only ones affected. Universities and research facilities, which house thousands of animals used in research projects along with millions of dollars’ worth of equipment, were also dealt a devastating blow.
At Kent Scientific, our goal is to provide the best research solutions to serve our customers, and to make them as easy and efficient to use as possible.
When you’re doing research, every minute counts. Having to remove your equipment from the lab to have it serviced and calibrated means losing valuable time, plus incurring charges for certification procedures.
