How PFGE and WGS are used to detect illness outbreaks? DNA fingerprinting is often performed on bacteria isolated from people who are sick by using techniques called pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). These techniques provide...
Looking for liposome research? According to the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) Guidance Document entitled "Liposome Drug Products", a liposome is a microvesicle composed of a bilayer of lipid amphipathic molecules enclosing an aqueous compartment. It...
Biomechanics is a large branch of science covering a wide spectrum of testing from how cells work, to how the human body moves, with a focus on learning more about how mechanical physics and engineering affect movement and body tissues. A common use or application...
By employing advanced testing methods and partnering with accredited laboratories, companies can maintain the integrity of their products and protect the environment.
Methods, applications, and importance in laboratory analysis
The Ames test is an assay used throughout the world using bacteria to detect chemical substances that are known to cause DNA damage resulting in gene mutations. Testing is performed on substances from chemicals to new drugs. If the test results a positive, the...
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...
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...
Chromatography is a versatile and widely used analytical technique in laboratories worldwide. It separates components of a mixture based on their different interactions with a stationary phase and a mobile phase. This powerful method is essential in chemistry,...
Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), sometimes called Scanning Auger Microscopy (SAM), is an analytical technique used to study surfaces. It uses a high-energy or focused electron beam to excite atoms near the surface of a solid sample. The excited atoms then...
