How to Reduce Static Electricity on Your Liquid Handlers
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.
WEBINAR: Key Considerations in Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction for Pathogen and Genetic Screening Workflows
Nucleic acid extraction lies at the beginning of almost every molecular biology-based workflow. Although the principle behind it is simple, when done poorly, it can have a significant impact on final experimental results. If working with patient samples, maintaining sample integrity becomes even more essential and reliable results are paramount to ensuring a fast and accurate diagnosis.
Preventing Future Pandemics
Timely Identification, Tracking and Mitigation of Future Outbreaks | We could have prevented the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak from developing into a pandemic, but we did not have an adequate surveillance system that could detect novel threats, particularly those that can be carried by asymptomatic carriers.
Non-Invasive Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Embryology
Bill Venier, M.Sc, TS, ELD (ABB) and Deb Venier, MS, TS, of World Embryology Skills and Training (W.E.S.T.) draw from their many years of experience in the embryology lab to discuss their perspective on non-invasive PGT-A.
COVID-19 Antigen Test Awarded Regulatory Approval in Brazil
The PerkinElmer® COVID-19 Antigen Test has been approved by the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency of Brazil (ANVISA) as a Class III in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device. This approval authorizes the sale, distribution, and use of PerkinElmer’s 15-minutes antigen test in Brazil for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2, with nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs. The PerkinElmer® COVID-19 Antigen test is an accurate and efficient product to screen for the presence of COVID-19.
Do COVID-19 Vaccinations Cause False Positives?
Currently the CDC recommends that any fully vaccinated person who experiences symptoms consistent with COVID-19 be tested for SARS-CoV-2 if indicated. That leads to the question can COVID-19 vaccinations cause false positives? Here’s what we know.
Single-Cell Profiling Webinar
Watch Our Webinar to Expand Your Single-Cell Opportunities | Biological resolution at the level of individual cells is powering the next phase of precision health. Honeycomb is developing a new paradigm in single-cell technology — integrating a sample storage solution within single-cell profiling.
COVID-19 Diagnostics and the New Variants
Panel Discussion: Recent Findings About SARS-CoV-2 Variants | This panel discussion covers the new COVID-19 variants, specifically the UK and South African variants.
COVID-19 RT-PCR Ct Values
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.
