Over the years the field of incubator types has continued to expand and branch out to meet the needs of researchers as they continue to innovate. Since we’ve covered some of the structural components of microbiology incubators, as well as what sets them apart from laboratory ovens, now we’ll get...
What are Real-time PCR machines? Real-time PCR machines are the more advanced and complex version of the Thermal cycler. They share many of the traits a traditional thermocycler uses to amplify and clone the segments of DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) but also include fluorescence detection to capture amplifications...
An automated counter relieves your lab from hand counting a sample and frees you up to do other tasks. There are many ways to count cells in the lab that don't require a dedicated instrument, which comes with a different cost in time and effort and possible errors. A counter...
Historically, Bioreactors were mainly jars or animal skins, enclosed and controlled environments where bacteria and microorganisms could flourish. Once scientists uncovered how these reactions were possible and what caused these changes, they turned their attention to harnessing the potential. In the early part of the 21st century, more industrial fermenters...
Gel documentation systems are pivotal in capturing and analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein samples separated through electrophoresis. These systems, offered by leading manufacturers such as Bio-Rad, GE/Amersham, Azure Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific, LI-COR Biosciences, and UVP (Analytik Jena), are essential tools in laboratories worldwide. Here, we'll explore their backgrounds, key...
In molecular biology and genetics research, gel documentation systems are crucial in visualizing and analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein samples separated by electrophoresis. Whether setting up a new lab or upgrading your current equipment, selecting the right gel documentation system is pivotal to the efficiency and accuracy of your experiments....
In scientific research and laboratory diagnostics, the ability to visualize and analyze biological samples such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and cells is crucial. Visualizing DNA bands after gel electrophoresis allows researchers to study genetic mutations or sequence variations. Gel documentation systems, gel scanners, and laboratory imagers play pivotal roles in this...
Electrophoresis, gel documentation, and Western blot imaging systems are pivotal techniques in molecular biology, allowing scientists to separate, visualize, and analyze proteins and nucleic acids. Over the decades, these technologies have evolved significantly, enhancing our ability to understand the complexities of biological systems, optimize PCR protocols, and test antibiotics and...
Imagers or Gel documentation systems have become indispensable in molecular biology for capturing and analyzing nucleic acid. Gel Docs and Western blot imagers provide a reliable method for capturing and analyzing gel electrophoresis results, allowing scientists to visualize nucleic acids or proteins. In this post, we'll explore how these instruments...
