Luminescence and fluorescence-based assay methods prevail in modern HTS. Although invaluable as technologies, the problem of compound-related assay interferences such as quenching, auto-fluorescence, ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Fluorescent dyes are tools used throughout biotechnology and medicine that offer a unique method of detecting and quantifying the presence of a target molecule, cell, or tissue within an even more ...

The latest advances in genome sequencing indicate proteases occur naturally in all organisms and account for about 2% of the human genome and 1–5% of genomes of infectious organisms. The human genome ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by DeNovix. What is the best way to assess viability? Trypan Blue has long been the preferred method for selectively staining dead cells and ...

Founded in 2001 by Fei Mao and Vivien Chen, Biotium has become a mainstay of high-performance fluorescent reagents for the life sciences. By uniting chemists and biologists, the company continues to ...

SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design and development of automated instrumentation and consumables for life sciences, and BellBrook Labs, a pioneer in high-throughput screening (HTS) assay tools, ...

Bacteria can be found everywhere—even sometimes in clean rooms. That’s a problem for manufacturers of drugs and medical devices that are injected or implanted. Even if manufacturers can remove the ...
