Commonly referred to as cherry picking, HIT Picking involves the precise selection of specific samples or “hits” that display desired characteristics from a large set.
A technique that reduces the concentration of substances such as bacteria, viruses, or DNA.
A crucial laboratory protocol in molecular biology and proteomics, used to ensure consistent concentrations of components across samples.
A method that reduces DNA concentration to better suit various biological procedures like PCR, DNA sequencing, molecular cloning, and qPCR.
A powerful analytical technique that combines the separation capabilities of liquid chromatography with the quantitative and qualitative capabilities of mass spectrometry.
An analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The purpose is to identify the amount and type of chemicals present in a sample by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio and abundance of gas-phase ions.
A colorimetric assay used to determine the concentration of proteins in a solution. The primary purpose of the BCA Assay is to quantify the amount of protein present in a sample, which is essential for various downstream applications in molecular biology and proteomics.
A critical process, transforming a sample into a compatible format for analytical procedures like PCR, NGS, and cell-based assays.
A technique where DNA is fragmented and tagged with adapter sequences simultaneously, primarily for efficient DNA library preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS). The process is crucial for workflows such as DNA sequencing, targeted studies, metagenomics, and chromatin profiling like ATAC-seq.
The process of transferring a liquid or solid sample onto a solid medium or surface, usually in a petri dish or multi-well plate, for the purpose of growth, analysis, or further experiments.
Volatile liquid handling pertains to the methods and apparatus used to manage and transfer liquids that readily evaporate at room temperature in laboratory environments. Unlike their non-volatile counterparts, these liquids have a high tendency to vaporize, behaving more like acetone than oil.
High-Throughput Screening (HTS) is a method used in drug discovery and molecular biology to identify active compounds, antibodies, or genes that modulate a particular biomolecular pathway.
The process of forming a protein crystal from a protein solution. These crystals are then used to study the protein’s three-dimensional structure using techniques like X-ray crystallography.
Flow cytometry sample preparation refers to the process of obtaining, treating, and labeling cells or particles from a sample so that they can be analyzed using flow cytometry.
A common method of measuring the concentration of proteins in a sample. The binding of a dye to proteins causes a shift in the dye’s absorbance maximum, allowing for quantification.
A technique used to selectively isolate and concentrate a specific protein or group of proteins from a complex mixture, such as a cell lysate.
The techniques and tools employed to manipulate and transfer thick, adherent fluids in laboratory settings. Unlike their less viscous counterparts, these liquids resist flow, behaving more like honey than water.
The process of measuring the concentration or amount of DNA in a sample. It’s essential for various molecular biology applications, ensuring accurate and successful experiments.
Plasmid purification is a fundamental technique in molecular biology that involves isolating plasmid DNA from bacterial cells.
A colorimetric assay for assessing cell metabolic activity. It is primarily used to measure cell proliferation, cell viability, and cytotoxicity.
A molecular biology technique used to study gene expression and regulation.
Column chromatography for protein purification is a technique used to isolate and purify specific proteins from complex mixtures.
Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a laboratory technique used in molecular biology to amplify a specific RNA segment.
Cell seeding is a fundamental technique in molecular biology and proteomics, where cells are placed or “seeded” into a culture dish or flask to grow and proliferate.
The aim of Plasmid Isolation is to obtain plasmid DNA in a pure form, separate from chromosomal DNA and other cellular components.
Cytotoxicity assays are laboratory procedures designed to assess the ability of substances to inhibit cell growth or cause cell death.
A pivotal method in microbiology that involves cultivating individual colonies of bacteria or fungi from a sample.
