Transplex Whole Transcriptome Amplification (WTA2) exponentially amplifies RNA producing a double-stranded cDNA library while precisely maintaining differential levels of individual transcripts in test and reference samples.
Long and accurate PCR applications address the needs for longer read lengths, greater fidelity and higher yields than that which can be achieved with Taq DNA polymerase.
Forensic laboratories routinely use STR genotyping for identity testing of biological samples. However, forensic samples often contain low copy numbers of target DNA, making it difficult to obtain complete STR profiles.
When developing a PCR troubleshooting protocol, it is important to be open to any possible sources of error, however insignificant they may seem, in order to explore each potential problem independently.
Whole genome amplification (WGA) offers a means to overcome the above restrictions for single-cell genomic analyses. WGA has been described as a non-specific amplification technique that affords an amplified product completely representative of the initial starting material.
Developing a PCR or RT-PCR/RT-qPCR troubleshooting protocol so that data are reliable is essential. Potential sources of RT-PCR or PCR error and problems include operator error, the PCR master mix, and oligo design. This PCR troubleshooting guide outlines and details
Mycoplasmas are potential contaminants in mammalian cell culture manufacturing. All products produced in cell culture to be tested for the presence of Mycoplasma
Learn about the history of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), from the basic principles that proceeded its discovery to the awarding of a Nobel Prize for Chemistry and more recent developments such as real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR.
A PCR master mix is a batch of PCR or RT-PCR reagents that can be divided among many PCR reaction tubes. It usually includes DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and buffer. Make your own master mix or choose a commercial one.
PCR assay guide navigates you through primer validation and other assay optimization factors to ensure high sensitivity and specificity for optimum DNA/ RNA quantification.
The Extract-N-Amp Blood PCR Kits contain all the reagents needed to rapidly extract and amplify human genomic DNA from whole blood, whole blood dried on a blood card, and cultured mammalian cells.
The Extract-N-Amp™ kits are designed to rapidly extract and amplify genomic DNA. The plant tissue version of these kits has been optimized to amplify without concern over plant inhibitors. This technical document will discuss the versions of this kit that
Molecular cloning is the process of inserting the gene-of-interest (GOI) into a plasmid vector and this vector is then inserted into a cell that expresses the protein encoded by the GOI. Once protein is expressed in the cell, the protein
Examples of basic PCR/qPCR/dPCR protocols that can be used as the foundation for explorations into some of the concepts described in the theoretical chapters of this guide. Included are detailed protocols for assay quality control, in addition to more general
