RNA and DNA extraction kits take formalin-fixed tissue samples by storm, enabling superior quality and yields. Researchers using standard extraction protocols that heat samples to eliminate ...

DNA fragmentation is a critical step in preparing DNA libraries for short read-based protocols. The two primary methods are mechanical shearing (using acoustic technology like Covaris) and enzymatic ...

Using standard PCR systems, users need to set a predefined number of cycles according to the assay and the input amount. This necessitates the quantification of input material as well as splitting of ...
