There are various types of centrifuge in the market and it may seem confusing with all kinds of specifications, shapes and sizes. Here we list some crucial factors you should be considering when selecting the ideal centrifuge for your lab. What kind of sample are you working with? Some centrifuges are designed for specific functions and knowing which centrifuge allows your lab applications is one of the major factors of consideration. For example, a molecular biology lab would likely require high-speed benchtop centrifuge with pre-cool functions. As you are working with DNA, RNA and protein, this function is important to prevent any sample degradation. For cell culture labs, a low speed centrifuge is often preferred to maintain cell viability especially delicate mammalian cells. If you are ...

You may have heard of DGGE which is the short for Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis and wondering what this technique is or whether you will ever need to apply this in your research. You probably do not need to use this but it never hurts to gain more knowledge on this powerful molecular biology technique in the field of environmental microbiology, biomedical and clinical to detect mutations. How does DGGE work? As we all know, DNA is a molecule responsible for preserving genetic information across species and time. Mutations can occur randomly or induced as an organism adapts to new environment or its surrounding. Observing these genetic changes can be a difficult task. This is where DGGE comes in to assist by analyzing these mutations in a certain population. The principle is to se ...
