In high-throughput environments such as diagnostic kit development, pharmaceutical research, and OEM manufacturing, reducing PCR and qPCR costs is rarely as simple as choosing the lowest-priced reagent. Cost per reaction is often the first metric considered, but it does not fully reflect the true financial impact of a workflow.
Modern agriculture increasingly relies on genetic information to accelerate crop improvement. Plant breeders routinely screen thousands of samples to identify genetic variants associated with desirable traits such as yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and quality characteristics.
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.
Have you ever sat around a table with your friends or family and just come up with the wildest ideas while having a good meal? One of Kadri’s brightest memories is exactly that — sitting around a table during lunch with her husband, sister, and brother-in-law Olev, and having the conversation that led to the start of Solis BioDyne.
