  • PCR Enclosures: Essential for Improving PCR Accuracy

    Friday, October 24, 2014
    PCR enclosures are designed to provide effective decontamination of solutions, reagents, and equipment before and during polymerase chain reaction (PCR) manipulations in order to improve their accuracy. PCR enclosures, which include PCR workstations... Read More

  • Product Intelligence: Mighty Readers for Microplates

    Monday, January 26, 2015
    The microplate reader is an essential tool for analyzing assays in many, if not most, life sciences laboratories. Yet like fruit, which can be anything from banana to tomato to compote, a microplate reader can be any instrument capable of accepting ... Read More

  • Spectrofluorometers: Tools for Measuring Fluorescence Signature

    Friday, January 30, 2015
    Spectrofluorometers (or fluorescence spectrophotometers) measure the fluorescence signature of an analyte in a sample based on its specific excitation and emission wavelengths. The fluorescence signature can be correlated to the concentration level ... Read More

  • Ultralow-Temperature Freezers: Antarctica in a Box

    Wednesday, February 25, 2015
    In most common parlance, ultralow-temperature freezers (ULT freezers) are containers capable of maintaining an interior temperature of about –80 °C, typically by mechanical means. While they come in different orientations and sizes, they are most ... Read More

  • Cryoware: Essential Tools for Cryopreservation

    Friday, February 27, 2015
    Cryopreservation is the process of freezing cell cultures and storing them at extremely low temperatures. During that process, cultured cells are mixed with a cryo-protective solution and added to labeled storage vials, which are then cooled to ... Read More

  • Beyond Light: Characterizing the Molecular World With Scanning Electron Microscopes

    Friday, April 10, 2015
    Centuries ago, glass lenses were employed to visually enhance small objects beyond the physical abilityBof the human eye. Light and compound mi- croscopes led to the birth of microbiology. However, the physical properties of visible light greatly ... Read More

  • Shaking Cells to Produce Novel Products

    Friday, April 10, 2015
    “Biotechnology” is a term that has only been used for a few decades. However, the fundamentals of biotechnology, including the concepts of shaking, heating or cooling a fermenting mixture, actually have been used for thousands of years. Read More

  • A Micro Look at Microplates

    Monday, May 11, 2015
    Microplates, also known as microwell plates, are widely used in molecular biology, clinical and analytical workflows. Multiwell microplates are a staple for performing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Read More

  • GC/MS Technology: Improving Sensitivity and Results

    Monday, May 11, 2015
    Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is a highly selective analytical technique for identifying compounds using mass detection. As in liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography relies on a mobile phase, but in GC, the mobile phase is a ... Read More

  • HPLC: A Versatile, Powerful Separations and Analysis Technique

    Friday, June 05, 2015
    High-performance liquid chromatography, also known as high-pressure liquid chromatography (both referred to as HPLC) is a highly versatile, sensitive technique for conducting separations and analyses. Read More

  • Standards and Reagents

    Friday, June 05, 2015
    Standards and reagents are available to researchers with certain assurances as to composition, purity and performance. Read More

  • PCR Pushes Ahead

    Monday, September 07, 2015
    A PCR party may be in order, as the polymerase chain reaction turns 30 this year. Read More

  • Profiling Particles

    Monday, September 07, 2015
    Imagine throwing a variety of marbles, nuts and bolts, children’s breakfast cereals and, oh, let’s say, ground-up asphalt into a big beaker. Then, mix this all together and shrink it down, making the pieces range in size from nanometers to ... Read More
