Checking your pipettes is not difficult – all it takes is a microbalance – and it can be crucial in allowing you to identify any issues before they impact your experimental results. Download this poster from INTEGRA to learn the best practices for routine pipette checks.

This application note reviews the need for a qPCR thermal cycler with block homogeneity and temperature control accuracy to ensure the reliable and reproducible analysis of a wide variety of sample volumes without any differences in final results.

Jeffrey Whyte, Product Manager, Molecular Biology and Radiochemicals, MP Biomedicals, introduces the FastPrep 24™ 5G advanced sample preparation instrument.

Justin Balsor, Graduate Student, McMaster University, discusses how he uses the FastPrep 24™ bench top homogenizer system to procure and enrich the synaptic proteasome for his research studies.

Dr. Jonathan Whitlock, Group Leader, Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, discusses his research on action perception, action understanding, and action planning.

Do you know your mistletoe from your poinsettia or do you need to go back to Rudolph’s school of winter science? Go grab a hot drink and a mince pie and find out whether you’re more of a nerdy nutcracker or a sugarplum fairy when it comes to wintertime science facts.

This application note reviews how hollow fiber bioreactors can be used to culture cells at tissue-like densities over long periods of time.

Dr. Kaplunov discusses cellular heterogeneity and how single cell analysis can be used to study differences in individual cells, focusing on single-cell RNAseq.  

Ms. Guerin-Peyrou provides an overview of classical methods and their inherent shortcomings for nondividing cells. She then shares some exciting new innovations in the field, such as mRNA transfection.

Download this white paper to learn how continuous live-cell analysis can uncover biological insight with real-time non-invasive phenotypic assays.

Learn how to thaw your primary cells right the first time, and avoid common mistakes that cause poor cell survival, requiring you to start over, in this ZenBio poster. 

This application note reviews how micro-volume instruments allow for absorbance measurement of very small volumes, which reduces the quantity needed from precious samples.

Download this application note for a comparison of MOM IHC kits with various sample types.
