Nucleic acid isolation is a cornerstone technique in molecular biology. Many labs use manual purification protocols for this, but they have four downsides. Nucleic acid isolation is a cornerstone technique in molecular biology, providing the starting material for most wet lab applications. However, isolating the material is only half… Read More

Accuracy in lab experiments is critical, but often difficult to achieve–especially in life science labs. Here are 3 areas where automation can help. Accuracy in lab experiments is critical, but often difficult to achieve–especially in life science labs. This is largely because many protocols and procedures are… Read More

Future life science labs will require skill sets in automation, open-source tech, AI, and many other emerging areas. Here’s what you need to know. In the early 00’s, wet lab skills in molecular biology, cell biology, and proteomics were key to anyone seeking a job in the life sciences. Read More

With greater speed, lower costs, and higher throughput than first-generation methods, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has catapulted biological research into a new era. Whole genome sequencing, epigenomics, metagenomics, and microbiomics are just a few of the many NGS applications of today, facilitating advances in epidemiology, cancer diagnostics, and drug. With… Read More
