Circulating Nucleic Acids in Human Biofluids and Liquid Biopsy Research
Several different types of nucleic acids can be found circulating in human biofluids. Fragmented DNA and RNA are now routinely purified from plasma and other bodily fluids. These types of nucleic acids need to be purified from a cell-free fraction of the biofluids to ensure that the isolated nucleic acids are truly circulating and not […]
Promega Highlights Innovative Work with Brazil Young Researcher Award
In late May 2022, Promega invited the nine finalists for the Promega Brazil Young Researcher Award to present their work at a Student Research Symposium on the Promega Madison campus. The Brazil Young Researcher Award program was created to acknowledge exceptional work by Brazilian students utilizing Promega products in their research. These student researchers were […]
PROTAC Virus Vaccines: A New Approach to Vaccine Development
Vaccine research and development is a major area of focus for life scientists across the globe. Clinical trials have shown that vaccines that target tumors show promise for cancer treatment. Additionally, the emergence of new zoonotic diseases has revealed a need to develop vaccines quickly as the world becomes more global and human populations interact […]
Why Bring Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction into Your Lab?
Nucleic acid extraction is a time-consuming, resource-intensive process, but it doesn’t have to be. Automated systems are becoming more and more accessible and often can be operated with simple “plug and play” kits, freeing valuable resources With these systems increasingly within reach, perhaps you’re thinking about introducing automated nucleic acid extraction into your lab. As […]
Studying the Genetic Basis of Type 2 Diabetes with An Automated Maxwell® Workflow
Over the past few decades, the prevalence of diabetes has been on the rise. According to the WHO, 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, causing an estimated 1.5 million deaths every year. Among those with diabetes, 95% have type 2 diabetes—which is caused by the body’s resistance to insulin. It is known that risk factors […]
Avian Influenza H5N1: From Poultry to Cattle, How Livestock is at Risk with Current US Outbreak
Updated June 24, 2024 In January 2022, the state of South Carolina reported a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a wild bird—the first detected case of this virus subtype in the United States since 2016, likely introduced from Canada late in 2021. Since then, the virus has spread across the U.S., affecting both […]
This is What a Scientist Looks Like: The Importance of Female Role Models in STEM
Welcome back to Part 2 of our March Women in Science series! In Part 1 of this series, Breaking the Bias: Addressing the STEM Gender Gap, we took a closer look at gender stereotypes and male-dominated culture and their roles as key factors in perpetuating the gender gap in STEM. In this installment, we will […]
Superior Support to Automate and Scale-Up Your Workflows with Ease
Automating a workflow can be a tedious and challenging process that requires lots of time and resources. A helping hand can make all the difference, as it did for Stephanie Dormand, Molecular Supervisor at UniPath Women’s Health, a diagnostics lab located in Denver, Colorado. The women’s health molecular testing service at UniPath primarily relied on […]
