  • Amazing Stand for Micropipettes

    Thursday, April 13, 2023
    Pipette stands are always necessary to keep the pipette upstanding and for maintaining the calibration, however, it is hard to find out when the service is required for the pipettes before they start doing the wrong function or giving invalid volume uptake. For this purpose we bought the smart ... read more

  • A Great Automated Cell Counting Unit

    Tuesday, April 11, 2023
    Cell counting manually is a tedious task that needs a lot of patience, and it is time consuming too. To reduce the laborious process the Bio-Rad cell counting machine is very unique and great, as you can put the plate in it and you are good for the counting. Easy to use, and it is digital too and ... read more

  • A Buffer for Disease Experiments

    Thursday, April 06, 2023
    Cell-free DNA-based experiments are in demand now-a-days for the screening of samples related to various diseases. I work over some lab experiments that need this buffer and for this purpose I use cell-free DNA sample buffer from Agilent Technologies. It is little costly but highly effective and ... read more

  • A Unit for Accurate Buffer Preparations

    Wednesday, April 05, 2023
    The pH meter is a need for every experiment where you have to check the acidity or alkaline conditions. For the preparation of buffer in respect to sensitive experiments like wastewater treatment, the pH meter needs to be highly accurate and specific in the measurements. For that purpose I use the ... read more

  • A Very Handy Samples Mixer

    Tuesday, April 04, 2023
    The Eppendorf ThermoMixer has the capacity to mix a variety of samples with defined temperature and mixing speed. It has dimensions for changing the holding panel for different tube sizes including the range of 1.5 mL to 15 mL tubes. However, size variations of tubes limits the number of tubes ... read more

  • Droplet Generator for Digital PCR

    Wednesday, March 22, 2023
    The droplet generator in the QX200 system is efficient for the sample partitioning and developing drops in thousands for quantification. This helps in getting the high precision and sensitive amplification with low error and high accuracy with low input samples. I would recommend using this ... read more

  • Easy and Comfortable Weighing Scale

    Friday, March 17, 2023
    I have used the VWR International weighing scale for efficient measurements of small amounts of chemicals quantities using butter paper or a weighing boat. You have to use a couple of buttons to start the machine and for the measurements. It also has the option for changing the units for ... read more

  • Great Amplifications for Real-Time PCR Analysis

    Wednesday, March 15, 2023
    The real-time PCR machine from Bio-Rad is efficient for the amplification of a gene in 96-well plates. You can store your protocol in the machine and you can also standardize the PCR conditions. The temperature is effectively controlled by the lid of the machine and it is very straight forward to ... read more

  • For Absolute Quantification

    Tuesday, March 14, 2023
    Absolute quantification is one of the major requirements in the field of digital or real time PCR. For this purpose the Bio-Rad QX200 is a good methodology for the analysis and amplification of two target genes using two different color fluorescence. Some training is needed to work with it initially... read more

  • A Vector for Transformation

    Monday, March 13, 2023
    The pUC19 vector is highly recommended for transformation experiments. I use this vector for transferring my gene of interest for ligation and to make a transfer into the vector cells. The digestion and ligation are easy to perform with this vector. It provides high quality results and good ... read more
