Reliable assays are a vital factor in ensuring timely sample processing during SARS-CoV-2 testing. It is important to mitigate potential delays along the workflow in order to improve quality and ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

Biology encodes information in DNA and RNA, complex molecules finely tuned to their functions. Although, other nucleic acid-like polymers are known, yet much remains unknown regarding possible ...

Urine sampling is a simple, non-invasive way to assess various human health parameters. As a waste product of metabolism, urine carries a wide range of molecular signatures that enable tracking of ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

Thanks to the novel Thermo Scientific™ Acclaro™ Sample Intelligence technology, the NanoDrop One delivers comprehensive sample quality information via the identification of common contaminants and the ...

Currently, chemotherapy is still the main clinical treatment strategy for cancer. Although it has produced significant effects, chemotherapy also has a destructive effect on normal tissues and cells, ...

Everything on Earth is made of atoms, most of which are closely packed together in the form of minerals. Life has its uses for minerals—ask a coral reef—but its essence lies in atoms arranged as ...

As biological molecules, DNA and RNA are fragile compounds that can undergo fast degradation if not handled with precaution and stored under optimal conditions. Poor nucleic acid sample quality may ...

Biology encodes information in DNA and RNA, which are complex molecules finely tuned to their functions. But are they the only way to store hereditary molecular information? Some scientists believe ...
