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...
MASS SPECTROMETRY PROTEIN ANALYSIS IN CANCER RESEARCH
Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells which has the potential to spread to other parts of the body and destroy normal body tissue. Cancer is a major threat to health globally, representing the second largest cause of mortality in the world following cardiovascular...
GENPLATES TECHNOLOGY
GenPlates are an automation friendly, high density GenSaver paper-based device that allows biobanking of blood and other biological fluids in a 384-well format. GenPlates are now the preferred technology for collection and long-term storage of DNA in Dried Blood Spots...
Inheritance 101: How Your Genes Make You YOU
Most people have a working knowledge of genetics. Many of us learned about the basics of genetics and inherited traits back in middle school, but fail to remember the ins and outs of how it works. You might blame genetics for your crooked teeth or a bad back, but...
What Advantages Does Noninvasive Prenatal Sampling Offer You?
Noninvasive prenatal sampling, also known as noninvasive prenatal testing, can offer new parents a variety of benefits. This harmless test is performed by doctors and DNA testing services across the country in order to determine genetic abnormalities in the fetus. All...
