SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 29, 2011) - American Laboratory, a leading publication for the laboratory industry, announced today the is now available. Focused on key areas in the laboratory industry, this issue's top articles include:

• While increasingly sophisticated technologies have been developed to detect and treat human health, we need to proactively apply similar technologies and a health-focused mindset toward taking care of our planet, according to
  
   
• describes an integrated, solution-driven approach to scanning electron microscope technology. This represents a different way of thinking about SEM performance and has fostered a "system" approach to SEM design.
  
   
• Vane-in-cylinder rheology is useful for testing small amounts of materials in a well-defined geometry, as explained in The method gives meaningful data for materials that may exhibit slip and for those that may yield.
