With our new FAST range, we have implemented some changes to product names and packaging that will gradually affect our whole product range. We will update the following:
For small product volumes (up to 1.5 ml) we will be using skirted, stand-alone tubes with screw caps and new labels.
Data sheets will have a new design and format. For each product, you will find step-by-step guidelines and recommendations for conducting a successful experiment.
The master mix concentration (5x) is removed from the beginning of the product name to avoid confusion regarding the number of vials needed.
Changes will be gradual and we hope to finish implementing them by the end of 2020. Please let us know if you need to know a specific date for any of these changes.
To advance innovation in synthetic biology we decided to help young and talented scientists from Lund University with their Methane RemOOver project. Their goal is the reduction of methane emissions from cows using a synthetically engineered microorganism. With this idea, they also participated in iGEM competition.
This year the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, two scientists credited with discovering microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Now, 30 years after their finding, you can do microRNA experiments with ease by using our products designed to make discovering new things simple and hassle-free.
This summer we got to collaborate with a fun project organized by the MINT Campus in Germany. Not only does MINT campus inspire children and young people about these topics but it also introduces young people to sustainable, innovative developments in current research and technology.
Whether you are studying the genetic material of plants, brains or viruses, the experiment usually starts with extracting RNA from the sample material. It would be incredibly useful to get all the RNA extracted instead of it getting destroyed by the RNases before even starting the cDNA synthesis step. But how can we protect the RNA when RNases are all around us? Let’s find out!
