Related Applications
Sample Purification
A range of purification methods may be used to prepare a sample prior to downstream analysis. Purification reduces sample complexity, removes interferences, and concentrates an analyte before analysis.
Sample Preparation by Filtration
Filtration separates substances based on physical or chemical properties. Lab samples are routinely filtered before analysis to reduce sample complexity and increase analyte purity. This allows scientists to generate higher quality analytical results.
PCR Applications
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique for amplifying nucleic acid molecules and is commonly used in many applications, including RT-PCR, hot start PCR, end point PCR and more.
qPCR
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) or quantitative Real-Time PCR applications, utilizing fluorescent report molecules, suitable for your microRNA, genotyping, and gene expression analyses.
DNA & RNA Purification
Overview of common techniques and downstream applications for extraction and purification of genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, and total RNA from cells, tissue, blood, viruses, and other sample types.
Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME)
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is a solvent-free sample preparation technique that uses coated fibers to extract analytes of interest from a sample before analysis by GC or HPLC.
