Written by Kelly Lundsten It can be a challenge to navigate the reagent catalogs of vendors in the life sciences. New brand names are popping up all the time and it is difficult to know if they are truly emerging technologies or if they are simply the same chemistries...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has transformed how researchers study cellular heterogeneity in complex tissues. However, the quality of a single-cell experiment depends heavily on sample preparation and cell isolation, particularly when working with...
Written by Emma Mason Instruments for fluorescence imaging allow researchers to study a vast array of biological processes, typically aided by labels in the form of protein tags or synthetic dyes. Fluorescence imaging instruments range from gel documentation systems...

When Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase “by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”, he certainly wasn’t referring to flow cytometry, which wouldn’t be invented for another 200+ years. However, the expression is apt—good sample prep is the foundational step of...
Cell migration is fundamental to a broad range of physiological processes, including embryological development, angiogenesis, tissue regeneration, wound healing, and immune responses, to name just a few. It also has a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of conditions...
