In this webinar, Mirko Corselli discusses the similarities, differences, and advantages of spectral flow cytometry compared to conventional flow.

Strategies to overcome common qPCR challenges

The eRNA detection method could one day be used to catch early warning signs of distress in wild ecosystems. 

Tricking the body into mimicking a fasting state may hold the key to fighting age-related cognitive decline. 

A high-resolution solution for quantifying host cell proteins

Researchers turned to base editors to correct mutations causing the rare genetic disease Fanconi anemia without inducing double-strand DNA breaks.

The Scientist spoke with microbiologist William Whitman about a new system of nomenclature for prokaryotic organisms that can’t be cultured.

Discover how to obtain optimal PCR results by selecting the right DNA polymerase and optimizing the reaction buffer.

Considerations for setting up and maintaining biosafety labs.

Mass photometry is an interferometric scattering-based technique offering researchers unprecedented characterization of biomolecular complexes and oligomerization in physiologically-relevant situations.

Researchers use organoid cultures in unique ways to study health and disease.

A technique for quantifying tumor mRNA production from messy tissue sample data uncovers an unexpected correlation between it and disease stage in 15 cancer types.

The importance of standardization for research and diagnostic result reproducibility

Discover how capillary-based western blot technology can take protein analysis into the 21st century.

Putting the pieces together for molecular diagnostics and infectious disease research

A study in mice finds that for certain genes, one parent’s allele can dominate expression and shape behavior—and which parent’s allele does so varies throughout the body.

A simple nucleic acid extraction approach quickly purifies genomic viral RNA and DNA while minimizing cross-contamination risks.

Researchers produce reliable data when they choose the correct tools for their needs.
