Since 2022, a new US food labeling law has replaced the term 'GMO food' with 'bioengineered food' for certain products. While many use the terms interchangeably, their definitions, and the regulatory contexts in which they are used, are distinct. This change reflects a more specific legal standard and has significant implications for consumers trying to make informed food choices.

Automated liquid handling systems can perform tasks significantly faster than manual methods, boosting laboratory throughput in high-demand fields like drug discovery. Liquid labs, which utilize such automation, represent a paradigm shift in scientific research by replacing repetitive, error-prone manual tasks with precise, high-speed robotic processes. This transition is enabling unprecedented levels of efficiency, accuracy, and innovation across multiple scientific disciplines.

Historically, lactoferrin is a protein found in human and mammalian milk, making conventional versions non-vegan. However, recent advances in biotechnology have made it possible to produce a bio-identical, animal-free version of lactoferrin suitable for vegan consumers.
