Synthetic biology is a field of bioengineering in which scientists design new biological parts and systems. Synthetic biology is made possible by advances in genetics and microbiology technology. Lab techniques like PCR and Crispr Cas9 drove early development. Automation technology is driving synthetic biology innovation as it makes high-throughput experiments possible. Learn about the key [...]
A soil's pH alerts growers to what goes on below ground. Specifically, acidic or alkaline soil affects the amount of macro and micro nutrients available to plants. For optimal growing conditions, the best soil pH level range is 6.5-7.0.Rainfall levels, soil types such as sandy or silty, plant species, fertilizer, and the amount of water [...]
This laboratory instrument minimizes human input by automating the measurement of chemical, biological, and physical reactions using flat disposable microplates that include various numbers of wells - usually a multiple of 8 or 12. Namely, a microplate reader uncovers light signals on a microplate to analyze specific reactions to optical signal changes at designated wavelengths. [...]
Synthetic biology is an emerging field of bioengineering. This field has continued to grow, powered by technological advancements in lab techniques and lab equipment. Microbiologists and geneticists can develop new biological systems quickly and efficiently by simplifying living cells to basic forms called chassis.Discover the real-world examples of synthetic biology that are already available today. [...]
Scientists prepare samples, move liquids, wash microplates, and perform other tasks when completing research. An automated liquid handling platform includes devices to manage microplate movements from station to station via robotic arms, dispense reagents, transfer samples, condition using heating or chilling blocks, purify samples with magnetic beads, filter samples, and generally move liquids move accurately [...]
Yeast and synthetic biology are used for the biosynthesis of compounds with medical applications. Synthetic biology has been prolific over recent years, and yeast is an important recent piece of heterologous biosynthesis of biopharmaceuticals. Read on to learn more about yeast and synthetic biology and in which areas of medicine this may be used. What [...]
Why Do Workers Like Using an Automated Pipette Machine? Lab workers compare sample ratings with pH standards called buffers to garner reliable results. Measuring accurately is all-important when making complex pH measurements are important to get accurate. pH measurement instruments help laboratories compare acidity and alkalinity of solutions at given temperatures to measure pH levels [...]
Liquid handling machines that take up little benchtop space, such as an automated pipette machine, transfer liquids between containers without needing users to monitor the operation. The machine's pipetting head, control interface, liquid handling core, deck, and pipette tips increase workflow. Other automated instruments such as microplate stackers, reagent dispensers, a pressure filtration station, heating/cooling [...]
DNA plasmid isolation is integral to biology as it’s used in many functions. This includes DNA sequencing, cloning, in vitro translation, gene therapy, blotting, and more. However, while the process of DNA plasmid isolation is a crucial aspect of biology, it also comes with its challenges. In plasmid isolation, it is up to the technician [...]
