Antiviral testing is the process of testing if an antiviral treatment will work on a person’s virus. A variety of antivirals are available to treat herpes. They work in different ways and have different side effects. Different types of herpes virus react differently to antiviral treatments, too. Some may not be able to be treated …
Gene synthesis
Gene synthesis is creating a DNA sequence de novo or assembling fragments of sequences to make a complete, functional gene. In synthetic biology, DNA and proteins are typically created in test tubes using chemical reactions called polymerase chain reaction and reverse transcription, respectively. However, creating DNA molecules de novo from simpler chemical building blocks is …
Next generation sequencing
Next generation sequencing (NGS) is reforming the field of microbiology. NGS platforms offer the potential to rapidly and accurately identify microorganisms in clinical samples. However, the use of NGS in clinical microbiology laboratories is still in its infancy. There are several reasons for this: Next generation sequencing platforms are costly. Subsequent generation sequencing platforms’ data …

Clean Room Monitoring
A cleanroom or a clean zone is a critical application area in pharmaceutical industries, healthcare, microelectronic companies, among many other industries. Clean zones allow for the aseptic manufacture or processing in a microbe-free environment. Cleanroom monitoring, therefore, becomes essential since maintaining the environment sterile is key to all production undertaken in a cleanroom. Clean Room …
Mycoplasma Detection
Mycoplasma has garnered interest due to its ability to cause contamination of cell lines used in research and manufacturing bioproducts. Without a cell wall, mycoplasmas are invisible to the naked eye. In the past, they were commonly used as sources of animal sera. Mycoplasmas can be found in the pipetting through the mouth. They are …
Resistance Bacteria
The advent of rapid diagnostic tests has made it possible to diagnose infectious diseases very fast. This is like the traditional use of cultures and serology that took so much time and was ineffective for some resistance bacteria.With rapid diagnostic tests, you will not only have your results fast, but these methods are effective for …
Total organic carbon
Using WaterSense High Purity Analysis Equipment to Ensure Clean Drinking Water in Major Cities What is Total Organic Carbon Total organic carbon (TOC) is a term that has become quite popular in recent years, because it provides a number of useful results when it comes to how carbon is formed. Basically, carbon can be composed …
Sterility test
Guidelines For Selecting a Laboratory Providing CgMP Testing Services Sterility test products play a major role in warehousing and distribution. These products help in preserving biological resources. Many companies adopt the process of molecular biology and genetic engineering to produce germ-free products that can withstand any harmful changes during shipping and storage. This enables the …
Phytopathology Tests
Phytopathology is another word for plant pathology and is studying plant diseases, diagnosis, and management. Plants are vulnerable to diseases. They even suffer from more than animals because hundreds of thousands of plant species exist. Animal species are fewer. That’s why phytopathology tests are vital. Molecular Biology Lab ServicesIn a molecular biology lab, scientists study …
