In this webinar, our speakers will provide an introduction into the epidemiology of influenza A/B, RSV, COVID-19, Adenovirus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, Enterovirus, and Parainfluenza, ...

Transformative Biotech expands to Huntsville, joining HudsonAlpha's Primer Lab to advance PCR testing.

PCR contamination is mainly prevented by design: physically separating reagent preparation, sample preparation, and amplified product, and moving work in one direction only. Amplicon carryover is the ...

PCR in NGS library prep is often treated as a solved problem: select a cycle number, trust the protocol, and move on. Yet many of the most stubborn workflow issues in sequencing labs trace back to ...
