Smart temperature control enhances PCR sample preparation

Who said you can’t teach and old dog new tricks? Latest advancements say otherwise One of the most widely used techniques in molecular biology is polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a method used to amplify small sections of DNA or RNA in a sample by adding primers, nucleotides, DNA polymerase and other reagents.

fMRI Used to Identify Neuronal Networks Activated by VTA or Hippocampal CA3 Stimulation

Functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) imaging can provide insight into hemodynamic shifts that occur in blood, including blood volume, flow, and oxygenation. The technique can also be used to map neuronal networks and detect synchronized activities within the brain.

Integrated CLEM and Scanning Electron Microscopes Help Gain New Insights into Blood Disorders

Blood is an essential component of the body, supplying necessary oxygen to all organs and tissues and eliminating unwanted metabolites from cells. However, in addition to transporting oxygen, blood protects the body from a variety of diseases using the immune cells and platelets present in it. These blood cells also play a role in bleeding disorders.

Eight Reasons to Use MicroCal PEAQ-DSC Automated System

During biopharmaceutical drug development, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to evaluate protein stability. The data provided by this established biophysical tool is employed to advance the most 'developable' and stable proteins into the pipeline, and improve the formulation and process conditions to sustain protein stability during manufacturing and storage of drugs.
