Reduce Static Electricity on Liquid Handlers | Throughout dry winter periods the air humidity changes. This change can cause a buildup of static electricity in the air and on plastic liquid handling tips for automated liquid handlers.
RT-PCR Ct FAQs | The “cycle threshold” or Ct value of an RT-PCR assay refers to the number of cycles needed to amplify viral RNA to reach a detectable level.
Ensuring Accurate Results with SARS-CoV-2 Detection | SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests, can be inaccurate in two ways, as can all diagnostic assays.
Multiplexing Libraries Containing Indexes of Different Lengths | Sample multiplexing, also known as multiplex sequencing, allows libraries to be pooled and sequenced simultaneously during a single run on Illumina® instruments.
Barcode Recommendations for Low Level Multiplexing | To reduce costs of NGS, libraries are often prepared using barcodes or adapters to facilitate multiplexing (combining) of samples.
