For years, CCD sensors, known for their high-quality imaging capabilities, have been the gold standard in scientific instrumentation. However, recent advancements in CMOS sensors have positioned them as a cost-effective and competitive alternative that is quickly gaining traction in the field. In this article, we delve into the strengths and applications of CCD and CMOS sensors, exploring how this shift in technology is reshaping the digital imaging landscape.

A common misconception is that stronger is always better. However, Nuvia wPrime 2A Media, a weak anion exchange hydrophobic interaction (AEX-HIC) mixed-mode chromatography resin, has won over purification scientists. Read about diverse use cases for Nuvia wPrime 2A Media and see the data for yourself.

In the rapidly evolving field of cancer research, understanding the complex interplay between tumors and the immune system is essential for developing effective therapies. Bio-Plex Multiplex Immunoassays, for research use only and powered by Luminex xMAP technology, provide a cutting-edge tool for simultaneously measuring multiple immune biomarkers. Learn how these research tools are paving the way for development of personalized cancer treatments in the future.

A groundbreaking addition to imaging technology has arrived — the ChemiDoc Go Imaging System. The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System is tailored for both gel and western blot imaging, including chemiluminescence and StarBright Blue fluorescent detection. Its compatibility with various trays and LED configurations ensures optimal performance across different experimental setups, including gel excision, nucleic acid staining, and protein detection.

As biotherapeutic modalities have diversified and production processes become more advanced, an evolution in purification strategies is also needed. Modern biotherapeutic purification must be capable of removing multiple types of impurities without compromising yield or quality, in a cost-effective manner. To meet these needs, many are turning to mixed-mode chromatography.

One-size-fits-all solutions cannot address the full range of molecular biology needs in areas such as biotech, biopharma, or molecular diagnostics. When your requirements exceed the existing offerings of reagents and plastics on the market, Bio-Rad can partner with you and provide custom solutions. For a deeper look into these customization opportunities, we spoke with Anna Lai, manager of Bio-Rad’s custom reagents program, and Jennifer Placek, who manages the company’s custom plastics.

The current gold standard in monoclonal antibody purification for most researchers is affinity purification with Protein A or G followed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Although robust and highly effective, this workflow does have critical pain points and inefficiencies, leaving researchers to feel that they must oversee every step of their workflow, not leaving their chromatography system unattended for more than a few minutes.

Current vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have reduced the severity of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the drastic and quick evolution of the virus poses challenges to the development of durable and efficacious therapeutics for vaccine and antibody developers alike. See how the Bio-Plex Pro Human SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization Antibody Custom Assay Developer Kit speeds up the qualitative measurement of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against new SARS-CoV-2 variants, removing a roadblock in COVID-19 therapeutic development.

RNA-Seq library preparation is a manually intensive, time-consuming process prone to bias from the multiple enzymes required. So, how can you trust your sequencing results? Bio-Rad is revolutionizing RNA-Seq library prep with the SEQuoia Express Stranded RNA Library Prep Kit – a three-hour, three-tube solution eliminating the need for multiple enzymes and reducing both the number of pipetting steps and protocol time. The key is an engineered, proprietary retrotransposon called SEQzyme. With this serial template jumping, or continuous synthesis, reaction you can obtain an unbiased, stranded RNA-Seq library constructed to accurately represent both messenger and non-coding RNA from your sample.

For this article, we spoke with Vera Dreyfuss of evitria AG, an antibody expression services provider based in Switzerland, about the role that the NGC Chromatography System has played in powering the growth and success of the company.
