Valentine’s Day is a celebration of connection, commitment, love, and the dream of starting a family. However, sometimes human relationships need a little help from advances in science. In vitro fertilization (IVF), one of the most important assisted reproductive technologies, has helped millions of people start families. Yet behind every successful embryo transfer lies a deeper, invisible layer of biology - molecular precision.

It is always inspiring to see what young scientists can achieve when given the opportunity to tackle real-world challenges. This year, we supported a student team Trashformers from Lund University as they were participating in the iGEM competition. Their project’s goal was to tackle the critical issue of textile waste, specifically focusing on recycling polyester.

Let’s talk about epigenetics! In this post, we’ll break down how the gold standard method for studying DNA methylation - bisulfite sequencing - works, why it matters in fields like cancer research and developmental biology, and what makes it such a cornerstone in the study of the epigenome.

We are proud to present Solis Hot Start HiFi DNA Polymerase, a high-performance, high-fidelity enzyme designed for precision-demanding PCR applications such as sequencing, cloning, and mutagenesis. This product has superior performance with a variety of amplicons, can be used for long-range and challenging PCR, and has broad multiplexing capabilities.
