Doing a PhD has its pros and cons. One of the most prevalent drawbacks is that you can never go to sleep without worrying about your assignment for the following day. That being said, when you reach your objectives, this feeling can completely change. This is me, conducting qPCR analysis on a typical weekday. qPCR (Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a powerful technique used to measure the amount of a specific DNA or RNA molecule in a sample. It's essentially a real-time version of PCR that allows scientists to monitor the amplification process as it happens. #PCR #labworks #surviving #shimanelabs

We’re shifting from averages to individuality. Join us on February 18th for a live presentation and Q&A to learn how this innovation simplifies workflows and reduces costs, making single-cell sequencing accessible for any sample size or lab. Register here today: bit.ly/4aEbLoH Traditional RNA-Seq data often represents an average, but true insights lie in the individual pieces contributing to it. Just as tissues are made of many unique cells with specific roles, total nucleic acid analysis provides an "average result," like blending fruits into a smoothie—each fruit’s distinct contribution is lost. Single-cell sequencing changes this by letting us examine each cell individually, like picking pieces from a fruit salad. With the new Illumina Single-Cell Prep chemistry, that eliminates the need for complex, expensive instrumentation and microfluidic consumables. Our clients can effortlessly uncover the unique genetic makeup and behavior of each cell, offering deeper insights into health and disease. Stay up to date with illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep. Accessible and highly scalable single-cell RNA-Seq solution for mRNA capture, barcoding, and library prep without complex workflows or microfluidics (https://lnkd.in/d_kueQgr) #Genomics #SingleCellSequencing #Illumina #Innovation #NGS #HealthTech

As with many ✨ dazzling ✨ things, RNA is highly fascinating, incredibly informative and quite sensitive. 👑 TRI reagents have been specifically designed and developed to meet the needs of RNA and for many scientists the positive properties outweigh the negatives. For a long time, it was considered the gold standard for working with RNA - especially extraction - and continues to be highly popular. 🏅 However, some samples are a little more complicated than others and even the TRI reagent needs a trick or two to ensure success. Here are 3️⃣ tips for particularly tricky cases. And I'll throw in a 4th tip for free: take a look at our Direct-zol RNA kits. They offer all the advantages of RNA extraction from TRI reagent-stored samples and omit all the time-consuming and fiddly work. Sample kits available 😉 #wetlabwisdom #sciencetips #RNA #TRIzol #zymoresearcheurope #molecularinnovation

LAMP is a popular technique for POCTs as the technology offers the same sensitivity and specificity as qPCR, while maintaining a short assay time and simplified assay design that enables greater portability. Meridian's Lyo-Ready DNA LAMP and RNA/DNA LAMP Mixes are the market-leading solution for POC assays with superior specificity and time-to-results (TTR). In addition, they incorporate Meridian’s Lyo-ready technology which can be used to create ambient-temperature stable assays ideal for POCTs.

✅ 𝗟𝗔𝗠𝗣 Unlike your Haloween Jack-o'-lanterns 🎃 that light up for one day, our LAMP - Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification - stays lit all year round. 💡LAMP is that superhero in the realm of molecular diagnostics. It amplifies DNA under isothermal conditions, so no need for complex equipment or a Bat Signal in the sky. So, put those jack-o'-lanterns aside, and grab a LAMP. It's time to light up your lab (and your research) this season. 😄 https://lnkd.in/esXtiyTq #LAMP #Diagnostics #LabLife #LifeInALab
