Precise colony enumeration and identification of bacterial pathogens are fundamental in today’s clinical and microbiological studies. Research involving microorganisms such as bacteria often entails accurate colony counting and detailed assessment of the pathogen in theory. While manual cell counting remains a typical practice in laboratories, implementing it is challenging for high-throughput procedures due to its…
Somatic cell count (SCC) is a well-established parameter used in the dairy industry to manage udder health. An increase in SCC indicates intramammary gland infection (IMI) leading to mastitis. This condition can result in poor pregnancy rates and impact milk production. Hence, dairy farms use flow cytometry-based cell counters such as the FossoMatic. Although this…
The Freedom Rocker™ BlotBot® is an automated blot processor for incubating and washing blots and gels, after the transfer from gel to blot. Using a microprocessor for precise timing and dispensing, it automatically processes Westerns, Northerns, and Southerns in a consistent manner, every time. Ideal for unattended staining of gels, it frees you from babysitting your…
Please find hereafter the adapted protocol to replace the anti-rotation kit tubes of the Precellys 24. To do it you need 2 silicone tubes supplied by Bertin Technologies : – diameter 2x 6mm – length 35 mm Pulling strongly on the metallic spring can do dismantling of defective tubes. Warning : metallic spring will be…
The Bullet Blender enables you to homogenize, disrupt, or lyse up to 24 tissue or cell culture samples at a time. Load the samples into standard polypropylene tubes, then place them in the Bullet Blender homogenizer. The “bullets” in the instrument vigorously strike all of the tubes and homogenize your sample in minutes. The Bullet…
Utilizing a proprietary method to rapidly isolate high-quality RNA from plant tissue, the SYNERGY™ 2.0 RNA Extraction Kit’s unique bead beating chemistry replaces RNA isolation procedures requiring harmful reagents. Each Homogenization Tube contains a grinding matrix which, in conjunction with the Plant Homogenization Buffer and dithiothreitol (DTT), liberates RNA, captures contaminants, and inactivates nucleases detrimental to RNA. Experimental data…
There are many different methods for homogenizing biological samples, depending on the type of sample and the desired outcome. Some common methods include: The best homogenization method for a particular sample will depend on a number of factors, such as the size and composition of the sample, the desired outcome, and the availability of equipment….
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy represents a major advance toward providing personalized cancer treatment. Unlike chemotherapy that can affect both healthy and cancerous cells, CAR-T cell therapy specifically targets tumor cells for destruction by the patient’s own immune system. Producing effective CAR-T cell therapies requires that cell number and viability be closely monitored…
Cell Counter Accuracy Cell counting is a critical step in many biological experiments. It is used to determine the number of cells in a sample, which can be used to calculate cell density, proliferation rates, and other important metrics. There are two main methods for cell counting: manual counting and automated counting. Manual counting is…
The Benchmark SureAir™ PCR workstation is a compact, convenient way to reduce contamination concerns and provide a clean room environment at a fraction of the space and cost. The high-powered yet quiet internal fan produces laminar flow conditions without any installation into ductwork. The included HEPA filter purifies air within the chamber, meeting ISO 5…
