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…
A cell counter validation slide is a type of slide that is used to calibrate and validate the performance of a cell counter. The slide contains a known number of cells that are evenly spaced, making it easy to count the cells and compare the results to the known number. This helps to ensure that…
A digital microscope is a type of microscope that uses a digital camera to capture images of a specimen. The images can then be displayed on a computer monitor or saved to a storage device. Digital microscopes are often used in educational settings, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities. Features of digital microscopes Digital microscopes offer a…
Microplate Readers: A Versatile Tool for Life Science Research Microplate readers are versatile instruments that are used in a wide variety of life science research applications. They can be used to measure a variety of properties, including absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence. This makes them ideal for assays that involve the detection of proteins, DNA, RNA,…
The manual counting method is more time-consuming, but it is also more accurate. The automated counting method is faster, but it is also less accurate. The best method for counting yeast cells depends on your specific needs. Here are some additional tips for counting yeast cells:
X-CLARITY is a tissue clearing method that uses a hydrogel to replace the lipids in tissue, making it transparent and allowing for high-resolution imaging. The X-CLARITY method is relatively simple and can be used to clear a variety of tissues, including whole organs. The X-CLARITY method begins with the fixation of tissue in a standard…
