Ice tea has a complex composition, which leads to reduced filterability, and a decrease in sample throughput. Its composition can generate background or false positive signals. It is also well known that ice tea contains molecules that can inhibit the bioluminescence reaction, which can generate false negative results. The aim of this study was to develop a protocol that was able to neutralize these affects and enable faster detection of contamination. - [Read Microbial Detection in Ice Tea Using the Millipore Milliflex Rapid Microbiology Detection System]
This Microarray Protocol Preparation of Fluorescent DNA Probes from Human mRNA protocol describes the production of probes labeled with the fluorescent dyes, Cy3 and Cy5, following the synthesis of cDNA from human mRNA and the hybridization of the probes to DNA microarrays.
A single step RNA isolation protocol using Phenol Chloroform Extraction and Acid Guanidinium Thiocyanate. This RNA isolation method uses the fact that guanidinium thiocyanate can simultaneously lyse the cells and inactive cellular RNAses during the initial RNA isolation step allow a single step in the method.
A protocol for the selection of Phage Antibodies using Immobilized Antigen. This method describes the selection of antibodies from bacteriophage antibody libraries that recognize a specific antigen. The phage display library of antibody-displaying phage particles is exposed to antigen attached to a solid substrate (Nunc Immuno™ tubes). The phage particles with affinity for antigen bind to the immobilized antigen and are selected from the library of phage expressing antibodies.
