HSV, or the Herpes Simplex Virus, is a viral infection causing cold sores or blisters usually on the mouth or genitals. Infections are categorized by the area of the body infected. HSV-1, also known as oral herpes causes blisters on the face usually around the...
Fungus testing can prevent a wide range of problems, from food contamination to infections in healthcare settings.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins found in various consumer products, including food containers, water bottles, and thermal paper receipts. Due to its potential health risks, such as...
Biological products comprise a wide array of products, all of which are regulated in the US by FDA's CBER (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research) division and include regulation of blood, blood components, bioassays biosmiliars, biobetters, and...
CRISPR is said to be "an easy, cheap, and very precise way to edit the DNA of living cells."
Today, Contract Laboratory received a Test Request from a Pharmaceutical Company needing a preclinical contract research organization for glycolysis research study testing as part of a clinical trial. Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, a process...
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a new DNA sequencing technology that has completely changed the way genomic research is done by allowing researchers to study biological systems at a new level, cheaper and faster than previous methods. With NGS came the ability...
Potency testing is a term used to describe the process of measuring biological activity in a product. Many methods exist to determine the potency of a biopharmaceutical such as ligand and receptor binding assays, cell culture-based assays, and animal-based assays....
Genotyping is a process used to obtain DNA information, specifically used to determine the genetic variants or differences an individual has. Common genotyping methods include restriction fragment length polymorphism identification of genomic DNA, polymerase chain...
Proper histology sample preparation is essential for accurate diagnosis, research, education, and clinical decision-making.
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic differences affect a person's response to medicine. Pharmacogenetics is often used interchangeably with pharmacogenomics. Pharmacogenetic research and testing determine a person's ability to metabolize medicines and...
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing? PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction and may be called "molecular photocopying," as it's a technique used to "amplify," or copy, DNA segments. According to the National Institutes of Health's National Human Genome...
Biomarkers, also called biological markers, are measurable indicators of a biological condition. The exact definition is "a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes or...
What is CCIT? Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) is done to evaluate the strength and integrity of a container closure system. Testing of container closures is important as it ensures a sterile barrier against microorganisms and other potentially dangerous...
