As a molecular researcher, it seems all too common to find yourself dealing with the challenges of PCR amplification, especially when working with complex samples that contain GC-rich content, high...
Is Your Cell Culture Research at Risk? The Shocking Truth About Mycoplasma Contamination
Mycoplasma contamination is a common problem in cell cultures, and it can have a significant impact on your research. Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria that can infect your cell lines, causing prob...
When selecting a universal PCR master mix, the biggest pitfalls to avoid include: Incompatible reaction conditions: Some master mixes may not be suitable for certain types of PCR, such as high-th...
What is a PCR Master Mix? A PCR Master Mix is a pre-made mixture of all the reagents necessary for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), except for the template DNA and the specific primers. This incl...
PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, is a widely used molecular biology technique for amplifying specific DNA sequences. A PCR reaction involves the use of primers that are specific for the desired D...
