In January 2024, Antonio Alcamรญ and รngela Vรกzquez, virologists from the Severo Ochoa Centre for Molecular Biology, landed in Antarctica to study the avian flu virus. They embarked on a journey to monitor 17,000 penguins as part of their efforts to study the virus and prevent its spread. Our Maxwellยฎ RSC 48 was delivered to extract nucleic acids from the samples, which are set to be analyzed using qPCR.
