Tiredness and frustration often mount after long nights in the lab. Why can’t our bodies adjust and allow us to maintain our energy through the night? The answer lies in our circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are the daily cycle
Help! My mouse tetramer stained ALL the CD8+ T cells!
You’re sitting at your flow cytometer, staring at your CD8 x tetramer plot in anticipation of a tiny but meaningful group of dots appearing in the upper right quadrant. You hold your breath, click “acquire,” and watch… Wait, what? What’s
Colorimetric? Fluorometric? How to choose the right platform for your ELISA
What happens when you use a black well plate for a fluorometric ELISA assay reading? What happens when you use a clear well plate for a colorimetric ELISA assay reading? Well the short answer is that you made the right
Don’t FRET- You’ve got Fluoppi!
Visualizing protein-protein interaction (PPI) is pretty neat. You are able to glimpse into a really unique aspect of nature that many people don’t get to see. It’s like watching lions and zebras interact but without the bloody violence. However, anyone
Improve your RNA research using our anti-BrdU antibody!
How do you quantify newly synthesised RNA? There are several ways to detect synthesised RNA, but these methods have their complications. The 5-Bromouridine immunoprecipitation chase (BRIC) Kit offers the the most suitable method for RNA decay analysis. Regulation of gene expression by RNA degradation
Immunostaining of Circulating Tumour Cells in TransFix Stabilised Blood Samples
The presence of circulating tumour cells (CTC’s) has been shown to be of diagnostic relevance for patients with early and advanced breast cancer (BC). The usefulness of CTC assessments depends upon accurate cell counts and the corresponding analysis of molecular
