One of the most common causes of degradation or loss of RNA during extraction is the DNase step. DNase digestion is frequently performed on a spin column. Although this can be a great way to save time on post extraction processing, it is not an efficient method for samples with large amounts of DNA (for… Read article →
Recently, we gave a series of webinars covering the different challenges and possible solutions for getting reliable gene expression profiles, with a focus on RNA extraction and stabilization from challenging samples. During these webinars, the audience had a variety of interesting questions. We would like to share with you our answers to the top 9… Read article →
In today’s world plastic is all around us and is used for various purposes. Nowadays, a life without plastic seems hard to imagine. An average person living in Western Europe or North America consumes 100 kilograms of plastic each year, mostly in the form of packaging (1). Despite all the advantages, benefits and convenience plastic… Read article →
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is revolutionizing life science research and healthcare. The advent of multiple platforms has opened the doors to increased throughput, speed, sensitivity and flexibility, providing researchers with valuable insights at an unprecedented rate. While recent technological developments have made NGS more accessible to smaller labs, many barriers to implementation still remain. NGS workflows… Read article →
One of the most efficient ways to extract nucleic acids from a sample is to use mechanical force to release them. This is done repeatedly under high speed, until cell walls and membranes are disrupted from the pressure and release their internal contents. In other words, bead beating. Bead beating is a great way to… Read article →
