DyLightâ„¢ will be your routine fluorescent dye
Rockland Immunochemicals have developed a suite of fluorescent dyes (DyLight™) with unique fluorescence intensity and photostability. Here, we take a look at how DyLight™ dyes have all the characteristics
Antibody purification troubleshooting tips
Antibody-based techniques are widely used in Life Science laboratories. Antibody purification is often required to raise purity yield of antibody production batches or to reach publication-grade
3 tips for IHC troubleshooting
The sensitivity and specificity of the primary and secondary antibodies used together with the IHC procedure used, are critical to avoid biased results. Several factors can cause false-positive or false-negative
Obtain clear Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation results
Generating high-quality Immunoprecipitation & Western Blot (IP & WB) data has never been easier. See how you can easily achieve this in our Tips & Tricks section to get clean WB-IP.

Breast Cancer - Popular validated primary antibodies for research and biomarker discovery
Use of validated antibodies is primordial for Breast Cancer research and related biomarker discovery. Here, we'll review the main biomarkers involved in this disease and introduce the most popular validated
Anti-Tag antibodies you can rely on: a focus on GFP and RFP
My colleague Ana introduced in a previous post (3 years ago already!) a selection of the most popular anti-tag antibodies among the research community. I must say that they remain extremely popular, showing
Why you should outsource your plasmid preps
Plasmid preps are to science what salt is to cooking. They're so common that nobody notices, but nothing can be done without them. There is no mention of this step in any published paper, nobody mentions
Why you should outsource your production of proteins - both stable or unstable
Whether your protein is simple to produce, or complex and requires more development, in any case, outsourcing your protein expression, purification and production is a very viable option for your projects.
New - you know CRISPR, now it's Prime Editing
This month, a new leap forward in gene editing has been published in Nature under the title 'Search-and-replace genome editing without double-strand breaks or donor DNA'. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1711-4.
Immunoassay development: reliable sources of quality reagents
We understand how crucial it is to have access to sustainable, quality sources of reagents when developing and/or producing the same immunoassays over long periods of times. Over the years, we've established
How to make efficient Lipid Nanoparticles for RNA delivery
How to make efficient Lipid Nanoparticles for RNA delivery
Even if RNA-based therapeutics have been under development for over 30 years, it was the COVID-19 pandemic that brought them into the limelight,
What is the future of mRNA based therapeutics, and their main challenges?
mRNA is a ribonucleic acid used by cells as an intermediate carrier of the genetic information contained in the DNA to synthesize proteins, and corresponds to the copy of one of the two strands of DNA.
