imOmics in Action

Great news! We've just launched a new system in the NMT Physiolyzer® series: the IAA Physiolyzer® . This is the very first commercialized system in the world that can measure indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) flux in live samples, a feat which is sure to revolutionize research in areas such as development and signal transduction. So what is IAA? It's a pl...

This video features a newly discovered application for NMT: cadmium screening in celery! Heavy metals like cadmium can pollute the soil and accumulate in crops, leading to health problems in consumers. In 2018, Xu Rui-shen et al. successfully used NMT to screen for cadmium accumulation in celery roots, helping to determine which varieties took up t...

The question of "nature vs. nurture" is a long-standing debate that spans many scientific disciplines. The idea of our innate "nature" is even more popular with genetic research currently, as scientists eagerly search for the cures to diseases in our genes. However, there is also strong evidence that "nurture' has an important role to play, as our ...

What is the #1 most harmful factor affecting crop growth worldwide? Insects nibbling on leaves may spring to mind, but the real problem is not bugs, but actually abiotic stressors. Rather than living threats, abiotic stressors encompass all non-living negative factors, such as salt, drought, and heavy metals. Abiotic stress research in plants also ...

This video shows photosynthesis in action. Using the NMT Physiolyzer®, scientists are able to detect the real time change in oxygen flux that occurs during photosynthesis.  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...

Q: Is it smaller than a breadbox? A: And bigger than a yeast cell! You won't need all 20 questions to discover what samples NMT can measure! With our technology, the sky's the limit on measurable live samples. This list of 20 measured NMT samples covers examples of plants, animals, and microorganisms, which range in size from organelle to sing...

Colon cancer is currently the third-leading cause of all cancer-related deaths in the United States. It's not easy to talk about, but it may soon get easier to treat. A UMass Amherst research group recently attracted attention for their research on colon inflammation, which is a huge risk factor for colon cancer. They hope this research can lead to...

  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 ...
