Manufacturers provide solutions to many of these problems. For example, the FastPrep bead-beating homogenizer and combined extraction kits from MP Biomedicals can be used to address two key challenges, which product manager Véronique Karsten describes as “identifying species using DNA barcodes in proc...
Homogenization methods can broadly be categorized as manual or mechanical. Manual methods involve grinding the tissue by hand, such as with a Dounce homogenizer (a device comprising a cylindrical glass container and two fixed diameter pestles, each providing different levels of shearing) or a pellet...
Dr. Garrett Smith dives into the dangers and symptoms of Vitamin A toxicity and how to detox for better health Sep 20, 2024 Blog Post DeltaGold: The REAL Vitamin E, Made from Tocotrienols Discover the power of DeltaGold Vitamin E tocotrienols! Dr. Barrie Tan’s research reveals their ...
The melting temperature at which two DNA strands of an amplicon come apart depends on the DNA sequence. While samples from two different people should give the same shaped melt curve, any mutation in the amplified DNA of one person will alter the melting temperature of those DNA strands and s...
BD also offers an extensive selection of products to study different aspects of apoptosis. “We have a wide variety of fluorochrome choices for Annexin V that allows for flexibility when incorporating into multicolor panels,” explains Miceli. Additionally, MitoScreen kits and Mitostatus dyes detect...
And more! From basic to specialized applications, discover the flexibility and performance of the Typhoon™ scanner. Available in different standard configurations including IP, RGB, NIR, NIR Plus, and 5. And, you can customize even more with upgrade kits and a custom filter box. ...
At its core, a CCA assay (whether by flow or imaging cytometry) is straightforward: a cytometer detects fluorescent DNA dye with a cell population, and analysis software constructs a histogram of the data, with peaks indicating the relative proportion of cells in different cell cycle phases. ...
different time points. “Storage of up to 48 hours should ideally be carried out in a cell or tissue storage solution at 4oC rather than freezing,” she says. “Where freezing is inevitable, freezing protocols should always be chosen carefully to preserve the natural state...
nuclear DNA is condensed and then degraded. This results in double-stranded DNA breaks, which can be detected using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays. These assays incorporate nucleoside analogs into double-strand breaks, allowing their detection by flow cytometr...
