What are Magnetic Beads? Magnetic beads are nanoparticles that help to extract specific biomolecules. They have a core of iron oxide, covered with layers of different functional groups depending upon what to isolate. This provides the bead discrete binding properties and enables the purification of DNA, RNA, proteins, etc. in an easy, effective, and scalable …
The demand for rapid and sensitive molecular diagnostics is expanding. Especially seen during the COVID-19 pandemic with laboratories striving hard to develop methods to fight the virus. Used to 10-100 (at max.) research labs and institutions were prejudiced to run thousand of extractions every day. Fast forward to 2023, we need high-quality DNA in lesser …

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as the name signifies are the bits of DNA present free of cells – in the blood. As a cell dies, it releases its fragmented contents into the blood including diseased DNA among others (exosomes, miRNA, etc.). This forms the basis of cfDNA analysis diagnosing several conditions. Why Use cfDNA for Analysis? …
The demand for rapid, sensitive molecular diagnostics has increased dramatically over the years. Diagnostic techniques are crucial in numerous fields, from understanding the genetic basis of diseases, and developing new treatments to agrigenomics, surveillance, and clinical trials. Nucleic acid extraction is the primary step for many downstream applications such as library preparation, microarrays, RT-PCR, etc. High-quality …
