The American Electrophoresis Society is a unique organization founded in 1980 to improve and promote technologies for electrophoretic separation and detection. The society was formed to promote excellence; to cross many disciplines; to facilitate communication between members worldwide; to facilitate the training of scientists and students in electrophoresis and detection technologies; and to facilitate peers training peers. Its focus includes theoretical modeling of electrophoretic separations of various biomolecules as well as the direct application of those principles and their refinement.

New Device Detects Heart Disease Using Less Than One Drop Of Blood
Testing people for
heart disease might be just a finger prick away thanks to a new credit
card-sized device created by a team of researchers from Harvard and
Northeastern universities in Boston. In a research report published
online in The FASEB Journal, they describe how this device can measure
and collect a type of cells needed to build vascular tissue, called
endothelial progenitor cells, using only 200 microliters of blood. Full article available here.
