Oligonucleotides, or oligos, are at the core of some of the most life-changing molecular biology tools used today. From qPCR to antisense gene therapy, oligos have changed what scientists can achieve through synthetic and molecular biology. While synthesis methods continue to advance, one significant challenge remains: oligo purification. Here, we explore the most common approaches to oligo purification, and explain how the right HPLC system can overcome any current and future challenges and help you achieve more accurate results.

qPCR plays a vital role in addressing today’s healthcare questions, with applications ranging from gene expression analysis to mutagenesis studies, and contamination is a significant concern. So, how can you ensure the integrity of your qPCR samples? This article explores where contamination arises from, and how to identify it. To improve sample integrity, we highlight approaches you can take to minimize contamination.

For an experiment to be valuable, it is vital that you trust your sample so you can be confident in the results obtained. Sample integrity refers to the quality and reliability of a given sample, but it stretches beyond what is in the sample itself. Making sure you have proper pipetting techniques can improve sample integrity, but workers are only as good as their tools. Pipettes must be properly serviced and repaired by experts to maintain confidence in your results. This article highlights what quality customer service involves and how it supports your sample integrity.

This article discusses how an automation platform can help you overcome critical challenges in creating optimized high-throughput assay workflows. We also explore options for incorporating them into your assay kits to minimize the burden and maximize time-to-market.

To handle increased sampling demand around the world, more labs are moving to automated liquid handling systems. Here’s why you should consider them too.

To keep up with today’s molecular testing demands, labs need access to smart and connected liquid handling tools. Here are four key components to consider.

Researchers are rushing to identify, target, and analyze peptide functions for drug development. Here is what you should know about peptide purification.

With so many models available, choosing the right pipettes for your lab will depend on the application. Here's how to choose a pipette for your experiment.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) develop and sell products that ensure reliability and reproducibility. Here are reasons to partner with OEMs.

To maintain accuracy and repeatability, you must service and maintain your instruments. Here’s what you should know about pipette replacement parts.
