Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Microscopy existed prior to flow cytometry and was an integral part of its development. A fluorescent microscope, in simple terms, is an enhanced light microscope which uses a light of higher ...

A completely new category of microscopy has been invented by researchers in the US. Dubbed DNA microscopy, the technique tags RNA molecules with a range of DNA "barcodes" which in turn flag the ...

Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that gives a clearer picture of how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings could improve cancer diagnoses for patients and ...

Over the years, atomic force microscopy, or AFM, has become a de facto standard in the high-resolution structural study of samples spanning from single molecules to complex macromolecular systems [1, ...

Conventional light microscopy has been instrumental for the study of cells and microorganisms; fluorescence microscopy has enabled visualization of even smaller cell features by selectively adding ...

Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a new way of mapping cell populations and visualizing how biomolecules, including different sequences of DNA and RNA, are organized ...

Young, Empowered and Strong: A Web-Based Education and Supportive Care Intervention for Young Women With Breast Cancer Across the Care Continuum To overcome these challenges, we have developed a ...

Fluorescence microscopy is a commonly employed optical analysis technique, utilizing an external light source to excite and initiate fluorescence in a material. Image Credit: anyaivanova / ...
