How To Release RNA or DNA From Tough Sources
How To Release RNA or DNA From Tough Sources

  Nucleic acids, DNA and RNA are large biomolecules that play essential roles in all types of cells. These nucleic acids are fast becoming an important part of science research. High quality RNA and DNA are also important to perform molecular experiments including COVID-19 rapid testing, reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), forensic sciences, detecting bacteria

High-fidelity DNA Polymerases & When to use them

Taq polymerase is the tried and true standard when it comes to PCR, but that doesn’t mean it’s the most accurate polymerase for high-sensitivity applications. Instead, alternative enzymes, known as high-fidelity polymerases, offer higher accuracies in the amplicons resulting from PCR thanks to a combination of more stringent base reading and proofreading activities. While you

Everything You Need to Know about Taq Polymerase

Taq polymerase is one of the most ubiquitous enzymes in molecular biology. Since its discovery in 19651, Taq has become the backbone of PCR and all the downstream applications that technology enables. This powerful polymerase is the default choice for most amplification and cloning procedures, as well as diagnostic tests, marker gene DNA sequencing, and

Everyone’s Talking About CRISPR

At least a lot of people are. Including us. With the recent attention grabbing headlines about the incredible biotechnology innovation and what this will mean for life science industries now and in the future, these last few weeks have been pretty exciting. CRISPR (enzymes which bacteria use to destroy viruses) essentially make it far, far

Collaborative Science- A Brighter Future

Some of the most well-known and arguably most important scientific research in our recent past has been born from a long and ongoing swell in international collaboration. As 25th April is also international “DNA Day”, the day on which, over 60 years ago, the structure of the DNA double helix was identified and published by

A Brief Homage to PCR

We’re no strangers to PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) here at Clent Life Science and if you’re reading this, chances are you aren’t either. The enzymatic assay is used to create multiple copies of a specific segment of DNA from a complex combination of DNA molecules. It’s still celebrated as one of the most important developments

3 Mistakes You Should Avoid In PCR Genotyping
3 Mistakes You Should Avoid In PCR Genotyping

For many reasons, genotyping has settled into our everyday lives. It provides information for our medical records, scientific research and even for antibiotic resistance. But first, what is Genotyping? Genotyping is a technology that determines an individual or animal’s genotype. Genotypes are usually small genetic differences which could cause important physical changes. For example, in
