Blue Light Transilluminator – To Wear Amber Glasses or Not Wear Amber Glasses?
A Blue light box offers advantages over UV transilluminators when viewing and cutting DNA gels and protein gels. They are safer to use and do not not have the risk of a burn to eyes or skin from exposure to UV. They also do not damage DNA, a risk inherent with the use of a UV transilluminators. […]

Cell Counting 101 – The Hemacytometer
The hemocytometer is a device originally designed for the counting of blood cells and is now also used to count other types as well as other microscopic particles. The hemocytometer was invented by Louis-Charles Malassez and consists of a thick glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a chamber. This chamber is engraved with a laser-etched grid of perpendicular lines. […]
Gel Electrophoresis 101: Agarose Gel Electrophoresis and Documentation
Agarose gel electrophoresis is a method used in biochemistry and molecular biology to separate a mixed population of DNA and RNA fragments by length, to estimate the size of DNA and RNA fragments or to separate proteins by charge.[1] Nucleic acid molecules are separated by applying an electric field to move the negatively charged molecules through an agarose matrix. Shorter molecules move faster and migrate farther than longer ones because shorter molecules migrate more […]
