  • Small Centrifuge for Molecular Lab

    Thursday, February 02, 2023
    The 6-8 micro tube holding centrifuge is a necessity for any wet lab. Quick spins for extraction, PCR running, or settling down thawed samples are regular steps for any molecular lab or experiments. I use this machine on a regular basis for experiments like extraction, PCR running, and concentrating... read more
  • Versatile and Ubiquitously Required Vortex Mixer

    Wednesday, February 01, 2023
    The Fisherbrand mixer is versatile in purpose when you are talking about mixing of samples. You can mix the samples by putting in micro or macro tubes, and the spin speed is sufficient for impactful mixing of samples. The single tube mixing option is a problem but it is required ubiquitously in the ... read more
  • Good Quality Tubes for High Volume Samples

    Tuesday, January 31, 2023
    To centrifuge or process the samples that need to run in high volume, Falcon tubes with screw caps are the best solution. It can hold up to 45 mL of sample efficiently even though it is made for 50 mL, and you will need a specific rotor for the centrifuge to spin the samples. Easy to handle — you ... read more
  • Excellent PCR Plates

    Monday, January 30, 2023
    I have been using these PCR plates for a long time due to their high temperature survival capacity, which is the functional key for amplifications. The plate has the capacity of 96 samples to run together, and the optimally shaped lids help to reduce the fall off and mixing or confusion of the ... read more
  • A Smart Block to Hold 96-well Plates

    Thursday, January 26, 2023
    The smart block to hold PCR plates is a great product from Eppendorf, as keeping your plate in this helps to accurately and equally distribute the samples. Additionally, this holder fits well within the PCR machine, which helps to transfer equal and even temperature at each well. The even ... read more
  • Quick DNA Extraction Kit

    Wednesday, January 18, 2023
    This kit is very useful if you would like to sequence a gene for downstream analysis and variant identifications. I used it for the purification of amplified DNA bands that run over agarose gel and it provides good quality and quantity of the DNA fragments for sequencing, phylogeny analysis for ... read more
  • Sufficient Kit for Bacterial Gene Elution

    Friday, January 13, 2023
    I liked this kit because it is easy to use for the purification of genomic DNA fragments, and provides a sufficient amount. There are straightforward steps to follow for the purifications, however, you have to be careful with the usage of correct columns at particular steps. Also, this kit has to be... read more
  • A Kit for Easy Gene Purification

    Wednesday, January 11, 2023
    Gel based gene purification is always a challenge due to a limited amount of nucleic acid i.e. DNA quantity. To resolve this problem I have used the QIAquick PCR purification kit from Qiagen and it helps me a lot through easy steps methodology, and gel purification to get a higher concentration. I ... read more
