Tissue culture flasks (T-flasks) are among the most versatile and widely used cell culture vessels in laboratories around the world. Engineered for sterility, optical clarity, and ease of handling, a T-flask for cell culture, typically made of high-grade polystyrene, provides […]
Revolutionizing the field of genetic engineering, CRISPR/Cas9 has emerged as a powerful and versatile tool for precise genome editing. CRISPR/Cas9 – Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) is an effective gene-editing tool, widely used in the scientific research to […]
With over 460 million tons of plastic produced every year most of it ends up as waste and then breaking down into Microplastics (MPs). MPs are the tiny plastic particles, produced when plastic wastes lose their mechanical integrity through various […]
Cryopreservation is an important scientific technique used to store and preserve the biological samples to maintain their integrity and functionality for a long period of time at ultra-low temperatures by slowing down the biological and chemical reactions of living cells. […]
“Genome India Project” a historic leap in Biotechnology Research, launched by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT- GOI) five years back in 2020, recently got its completion announcement in a video message addressed by PM Modi at the Genomics Data Conclave […]
Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) technology is a significantly used emerging technology in cell biology and biomaterials to replicate human organ functionality in laboratory settings. Also referred to as microfluidic devices, these help to mimic the specific organs by creating a natural environment […]
Pipettes are essential tools in any laboratory, and proper care can significantly extend their lifespan while ensuring accuracy. Neglecting maintenance can lead to calibration issues, contamination, and costly replacements. Following simple practices can enhance pipettes’ performance and achieve reliable, precise […]
The principle of RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) involves two main steps: reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Initially, RNA is converted into complementary DNA (cDNA) using the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which synthesizes cDNA from the RNA template—this […]
Centrifuge tubes have played a crucial role in laboratory practices, particularly in the separation and analysis of components in a mixture. The development of these tubes reflects advancements in both scientific understanding and technology over the years. Early Beginnings The […]
