Professionals who need to preform scRNAseq on samples collected from remote locations, need a solution that stabilizes the molecular footprint of a sample and allows it to be processed in a centralized lab which could be located far away from the collection site. In this video you can meet the researchers studying bone loss during …

As next generation sequencing (NGS) laboratories evaluate new automated sample preparation solutions, focusing on vendors who have vendor-qualified automated library protocols can play a key role in meeting their objectives. A fully vendor-qualified NGS library means the automation supplier has sent their final DNA/RNA libraries to the NGS kit provider, who sequences the libraries and …

From Bench to Sequencing in Days With the cost to sequence genomes declining dramatically, researchers are applying next generation sequencing (NGS) to new discoveries and clinical research at a rapidly expanding rate. These applications are driving new sample preparation workflows that prepare the DNA/RNA libraries prior to sequencing. This growing appetite for new kits plus …

Professionals working in a lab face many challenges, including an ever-increasing demand to comply with quality, regulatory requirements, and guidelines. As explained in the video below, the number of lab staff has depleted, while the number of tests continues to increase–leaving labs under pressure to find ways to do more with less. Carola Schmidt leads …

From May 22-28, more than 190 Ministers of Health, numerous elected officials and other policy makers and shapers convened in Geneva, Switzerland for the 75th World Health Assembly (WHA). The theme of this year’s Assembly was “Health for Peace, Peace for Health,” and I had the privilege of attending in-person on behalf of PerkinElmer as …

As scientists, there is nothing we can say with absolute certainty. However, what is safe to assume is that uncertainty around the state of the COVID-19 pandemic will remain for some time to come. The latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that confirmed COVID-19 cases globally are declining. However, public health experts …

Italy designated March 18th as the national day to remember its COVID-19 victims, and 2021 was the first anniversary. The date for the annual commemoration was not chosen randomly: it was the day that Italy – and the world – woke up to images of a convoy of military trucks full of coffins driving out …
