Addressing Leakage and Cross-Contamination in 96‑well Lysis Racks For Microbial Lysis

Discover how to tackle leakage and cross-contamination in 96-well lysis racks for microbial lysis. Optimize your lab processes for accurate results with Zymo Research’s expert insights.

Agrigenomics: how can NGS contribute to global food security?

“Experience of artificial fertilisation, such as is effected with ornamental plants in order to obtain new variations in colour, has led to the experiments which will here be discussed. The striking regularity with which the same hybrid forms always reappeared whenever fertilization took place between the same species induced further experiments to be undertaken.”

Dos & Don’ts of Plasmid Purification

Plasmid purification is a common technique in most molecular biology labs. While the standard alkaline lysis method had been well established, a surprising number of things still can go wrong. This guide lists some of the common Dos and Don’ts of plasmid purification.

QuickSwitch™, a tool for adoptive T cell transfer

Our understanding of how the immune system responds to cancer has increased by leaps and bounds in the past two decades, allowing us to develop a new approach to fight cancer that uses the power of the body’s own immune system to prevent, target, control, and eliminate the disease.

BioXCell Recombinant Antibodies: Tips and Tricks for Success

EVALUATING QUALITY OF INPUT RNA FOR NGS LIBRARY PREPARATION

RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) has become an increasingly popular technique for transcriptome profiling[1]. The preparation of high-quality RNA-Seq libraries is critical to the reliability of the sequencing data, in which the integrity and purity of the input RNA play a critical role. Therefore, it is a good practice to perform quality control on the input RNA before proceeding to NGS library preparation. Here, we provide some top recommendations to help preserve and verify the quality of input RNA for more robust RNA-Seq libraries.
