Long-term DNA collection and preservation cards
GenSaver Cards and GenSaver Color Cards are designed for collection and ambient temperature transport and storage of DNA from biofluids. It allows long-term ambient temperature stabilization of blood, saliva, buccal cells and urine or DNA isolated from these...
What is DNA Preservation and How Is It Used?
By now, most people know at least a little bit about the power of genetic testing. DNA analysis can be used to prove everything from paternity to criminality. But DNA testing services can also be used to protect genetic material from a loved one for potential use in...
What Can DNA Testing Reveal About Your Health?
For years, DNA analysis has been used to aid law enforcement in identifying and eliminating suspects for criminal cases. But DNA testing services have also become a way for us to learn more about ourselves. In some cases, you may not even need access to laboratory...
Understanding the Importance and Intricacies of the Application of Western Blot in Medical Tests
Since the 1970s, the disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been a concern for all Americans. HIV, as it's more widely called, is not the death sentence it once was. But proper treatment is required to maintain overall health and prevent the...
A Brief Introduction to Mass Spectrometry Services
While there are a number of different bioscience techniques that researchers use to analyze a sample, mass spectrometry is certainly one of the most in-demand. Let's take a closer look at what this process is, how mass spectrometry services are commonly used, and how...
DNA Analysis and Paternity Testing: What You Need to Know
We hear a lot about DNA testing these days. From solving complex cold cases through genetic genealogy to finding more about our ancestors through at-home kits (which require no advanced laboratory equipment on our part), DNA has come a long way. But what you might not...
PROTEIN IDENTIFICATION AT A GLANCE
Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, made up of polypeptides. Polypeptides are made up of amino acids. Thus, amino acids are the basic building block of proteins. There are different types of amino acids that make up proteins, and they all possess the...
PROTEIN TESTING SERVICES YOU CAN COUNT ON
LC-MS/MS- Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is an analytical process widely used in proteomics because it combines the physical separation capabilities of liquid chromatography with the mass determination ability of mass spectrometry in one...
