Protocols and Tips

When you have finished all your experiments and have the paper ready in your head, you need to consider several factors before sending it for publication. Here are some tips that Bio-Rad’s PrimePCR™ PCR Primers and Assays group put together for getting the paper published successfully.

What is Multidimensional (Multi-D) chromatography? Here is an animated explanation of how Multi-D chromatography works and what its advantages are over traditional chromatography.

Which antibody is the best to obtain a definitive and conclusive answer for my questions? How do I choose the best antibody for my purpose? These are standard questions that scientists ask time and time again. Here are a few tips to choose the most appropriate antibody for your specific application.

The ZOE fluorescent cell imager features an integrated digital camera and touch-screen interface that makes brightfield and multichannel fluorescence microscopy simple, fast, and intuitive. An easy-to-use alternative to the traditional inverted microscope, ZOE eliminates the complexities of multichannel fluorescence imaging by combining the ease of use of a personal tablet and the power of an inverted microscope.

Immunoprecipitation (IP) is a commonly used protocol for concentrating and purifying proteins using specific antibodies and magnetic beads. Here is a simple IP protocol using Bio-Rad’s SureBeads Magnetic Beads.
