One-step RT-qPCR–based applications are increasingly being used in life science research to quickly quantify genes of interest directly from many RNA samples simultaneously

Dr. Ronald J. Kendall is head of the Wildlife Toxicology Laboratory and professor of Environmental Toxicology in the Department of Environmental Toxicology at Texas Tech University

Library preparation is a critical step in the workflow of several NGS paradigms

From animal pathogens to iPSCs and beyond, PCR is a versatile technique for many experiments

Library preparation is fundamental for NGS success. Automating the process increases efficiency and generates high-quality data

Avoiding cross-contamination during manual qpcr set-up is essential for reliable results, but can be a tedious, time-consuming process

Carl Wittwer, PhD, talks to contributing editor Tanuja Koppal, PhD, about polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

As laboratories and facilities continue to elevate their technology and training, it is clear that qPCR will help push microbial diagnostics into new and fertile territory

QIAGEN to launch two Sample to Insight systems in Europe and other markets, NeuMoDx to commercialize in the US

Most life scientists use some sort of microplate, and probably for more than one application

Researchers designed an assay to detect short DNA sequences found in peanut chloroplasts

Key European standards organization grants extension to now cover 10 BAX® System PCR assays for Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, and Genus Listeria
