When the first thermal cyclers for the polymerase chain reaction came out in the 1980s, they were as expensive as a market driven by grant money could make them. Things haven’t got much better over ...
On Tuesday (November 4th), Chai Biotechnologies launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for its Open qPCR, the dubbed world’s “first open source Real-Time PCR Thermocycler.” The instrument, which ...
Engineered zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) form the basis of a broadly applicable method for targeted, efficient modification of eukaryotic genomes. In recent work, we described OPEN (oligomerized pool ...
Ten PCR assays targeting five biological agents (Bacillus anthracis, Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Francisella tularensis, and Yersinia pestis) were incorporated onto Array Cards. A ...
A next-generation lower respiratory tract sputum polymerase chain reaction (PCR) film array panel identified etiologic pathogens in 100 percent of a group of patients hospitalized for ...
