Eppendorf video features Dr Andrew Holt's work on bioactive leachates from plastic consumables

It is nearly impossible to imagine our daily life without synthetic materials. In molecular and biochemical laboratories, consumables made from plastic are used in practically every application.

In 2008 a report in Science by Dr. Andrew Holt and his group from the University of Alberta, Canada, described that chemicals used as manufacturing additives can substantially inhibit enzymatic assays and binding studies by leaching into the sample.

We visited Dr. Holts lab with a film team to ask him how assays can be affected and how he ensures unaffected and reproducible results. Watch the video "Bioactive leachates from Laboratory consumables" now!
