For many scientists, high-throughput flow cytometry screens are associated with drug or compound libraries, but did you know that you can also apply this technique to study microorganisms, clinical melanoma samples, and even protein trafficking? Read on for five examples of the use of flow cytometry in diverse, high-throughput screening applications.

Whether you are part of a small academic lab or a multinational corporation, upgrading to a new quantitative PCR (qPCR) system can be both exciting and daunting. How will the new system perform compared to your current platform? Will your existing workflows translate smoothly? Read on to learn about our recent bridging study for users considering upgrading to the new CFX Opus Real-Time PCR System.

As more of the cell and gene therapies revolutionizing healthcare are approved for use, innovator companies usually get the credit. But many therapies would never make it to market without the expertise and capabilities of contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) operating behind the scenes. Learn more about how CDMOs enable new cell and gene therapies to come to market, and how Droplet Digital PCR can help.

The next iteration of Bio-Rad Gel Documentation Systems has arrived. The GelDoc Go Imaging System gives you a benchtop imaging solution that enables gel documentation in three simple steps. Acquire high-resolution, publication-quality images of nucleic acid gels, protein gels, and colorimetric blots. Image up to four mini gels at once with the large imaging area, and easily set up and control the GelDoc Go Imaging System with Image Lab Touch Software. Read more about the compact, easy-to-use GelDoc Go System.

Infectious diseases and cancers are among the main causes of human deaths worldwide. One successful avenue found to treat these diseases is the large-scale production of therapeutic proteins. As a result, the demand for protein expression hosts and accompanying advanced bioprocessing technologies has increased. Read about a workflow for efficient purification of a low-expressing recombinant protein using mixed-mode resins.

Purifying proteins that are not highly expressed can be challenging. Watch this video to learn about a case study demonstrating an efficient workflow for two-step purification of a low-expressing recombinant protein using mixed-mode chromatography.

Precision diagnostics for cancer. COVID-19 surveillance in wastewater. Quality control of cell and gene therapies. These were just a few of the cutting-edge applications on display at the Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) World 2021 symposium. Recapping the event in 5 takeaways, moderator Francisco Bizouarn shares how international experts are leveraging ddPCR technology to solve today’s scientific and public health problems.

We asked core facilities staff and research scientists from the U.S. and Europe for their top tips for securing funding for large instrumentation, such as a cell analyzer or cell sorter. Here are the key questions you should consider while preparing your grant application to increase your chances of a successful outcome.
