Each week, we bring you a quick and easy experiment you can do at home to explore a concept in science. This week, we’re on ...

To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...

Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.

Preparation of Chitosan@Beads. A: schematic diagram of chitosan-modified magnetic nanobeads; B: Schematic diagram of Chitosan@Beads modification steps. Recently, a research group led by Prof. LIU Yong ...

FFPE tissue samples allow scientists to glean useful information from the architecture of preserved cells and tissues, but formaldehyde preservation crosslinks proteins and nucleic acids and disrupts ...

High quality RNA, DNA and protein is crucial for facilitating breakthroughs in molecular research and diagnostics. Traditional phenol/chloroform or Silica based extraction methods often struggle to ...

DNA extraction is a very important part of medical science; it helps us study the genetics of new diseases and scientists can then make diagnostics and drugs to fight against them. This experiment can ...

A novel method that in the future could be a major weapon against small and large-scale operations still targeting hawksbills for the illegal trade. Scientists have developed a test to extract DNA ...

A laboratory study detected host DNA on the cuticles of adult parasitoid wasps in 49% of samples, offering a non-destructive ...

When you think about scientific research, you probably envision a sterile room that houses gleaming beakers, rows of pipettes and centrifuges. But what if you could house a lab on a chip? Call it the ...
