  We love to answer questions about our technology (NMT) so we've decided to feature some of our most popular inquiries about flux. Flux is one of the unique features that makes NMT so special, and we are excited to share the details with you! Q: What is flux? A: There are different definitions of flux in different areas. Here it is defined as...

If you are a plant researcher who is interested in salt stress, you are not alone. YoungerUSA has been passionate about this particular field for over 15 years, and we're proud to announce that we'll be sponsoring an upcoming Gordon Research Conference dedicated to salt stress in plants. Like YoungerUSA, the GRC organization is a group of creative ...

 Our NMT Research Analyst, Elora, has recently returned to the US from her trip to China. She is now certified as an NMT Technician! Check out these behind-the-scenes photos of some of her lab training, and meet some of the research team. 

"Lab rat" is a well known term for experiment subjects, and many labs do make great use of rats and mice in their biomedical studies. However, more and more fish have become commonly accepted as excellent medical research samples.  One such fish that most scientists will recognize is Danio rerio , the Zebrafish. Its transparent eggs and regene...

YoungerUSA is pleased to announce that we will be attending The 16th China International Scientific Instrument and Laboratory Equipment Exhibition, CISILE 2018. Last year, this show attracted over 18,000 visitors and vendors from over 36 countries, making it a perfect place to showcase far more than lab equipment, as we will present our specialized...

Have you ever driven miles to a store to be one of the first to have the newest cell phone or tech gadget?  Have you ever driven for hours in the pouring rain to see your favorite musician perform? How far would you go for the best and latest technology? NMT Research Analyst Elora Simkins trekked all the way from Amherst, Massachusetts to...

Hello everyone; YoungerUSA would like to announce that NMT Research Analyst Elora Simkins is travelling to Beijing, China. Ms. Simkins will promote the company's new line of research platforms; the PhysiolyzersⓇ, and interview top innovative scientists using NMT to pioneer research in their fields by harnessing the power of live samples.

This video discusses the use of IAA in a potential cancer treatment studied in "Recombinant horseradish peroxidase variants for targeted cancer treatment" Bonifert, G., Folkes, L., Gmeiner, C., Dachs, G., & Spadiut, O. (2016). Cancer Medicine, 5(6), 1194–1203., and how Non-invasive Micro-test Technology can be used to further research this deve...

This video first introduces some important components of NMT. It then goes on to show the difference between using NMT vs Traditional Microsensors while studying ionic activity. Check Out More Applications NMT's most popular field is currently plant physiology, but creative scientists are applying it to new fields every day, like diabetes and cance...

 This video is about how NMT can be used to explore the tumor microenvironment. Two papers by Wei M-F. et al, and Song L. et al, are briefly outlined and compared, to demonstrate how NMT proved to be an excellent tool for cancer research. The second paper was able to connect the fluxes measured by NMT to the time of cell death after treatment ...

This video introduces aSMS, a technology that is able to manipulate a volume of liquid that is so small it's only visible through a microscope. This impressive technology can manipulate a volume as small as 0.000000015mL so you do not waste any valuable liquid. This video shows an example of how the aSMS (automatic Sensor Making Station) is applied...

This video shows a real world example of how NMT has been applied into scientific research. Real flux data from "COLD1 Confers Chilling Tolerance in Rice" in Cell, (Volume 160, issue 6) by Ma Y, et al. are displayed to show how NMT can be used to discover scientific breakthroughs. With the help of NMT, scientists were able to examine calcium fluxes...

  Of all new cancer cases in the US, the third most common is prostate cancer. New research in Science this week revealed a deeper understanding of how our own nerves aid the progression of prostate cancer. Now we need a drug or therapy to inhibit this pathway; this could be developed with the help of a technology that can measure Ca 2+ and O ...

In vivo sample testing is one of the most important aspects of research in life sciences. The importance of observing the functions and behaviors of a sample as they occur in real life is irrefutable. Obviously, a living organism is very different physiologically than when it is deceased. So how do we assemble information from studying a non-living...

The nitrogen cycle is incredibly important in many industries, such as agriculture and waste water treatment. The microbes involved in this cycle are the stars of the show; one bacteria in particular was highlighted in Nature this past week. In addition, NMT could further this research by measuring nitrogen-based molecules in this bacteria. The Pap...

Research on the immune system for cancer treatments is always growing, as evidenced by a new study in Nature , in which an inhibitor treatment increased anti-tumor immunity. This area of research could be furthered by investigation of H2O2 flux in the anti-tumor immune response. The Paper This week, Nature published "CDK4/6 inhibition triggers anti...

One in every 3 cancers diagnosed worldwide is a skin cancer. Yale researchers revealed in Nature this week their new discoveries about how our skin naturally resists tumor formation. But how will this lead to a treatment? Perhaps the calcium flux of skin cells is the next step for this research. The Paper Nature published this week; "Correction of ...

This video introduces Non-invasive Micro-test Technology (NMT). It explains how NMT helps scientists reveal the physiological functions linked to the genes and proteins they are studying. It introduces that NMT is able to work with many different kinds of living samples such as single cells, a layer of cells, tissues, organs, and even small organis...

Feeling an itch on your skin is usually nothing to worry about, but some conditions like shingles/chicken pox cause constant itching that cannot be satisfied, causing people to scratch themselves to a point of injury. This week, scientists explored the neural pathways that cause this chronic itch, and in this post, we will explore the many differen...

Check Out More Applications NMT's most popular field is currently plant physiology, but creative scientists are applying it to new fields every day, like diabetes and cancer research. Now, labs using NMT systems have published over 700 papers in top journals! Our clients' top feedback is that the their high-quality results help them get published, ...
