Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a cutting-edge technology used to sequence nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. Unlike Sanger Sequencing, which can sequence only one DNA fragment at a time, NGS allows researchers to sequence multiple DNA fragments in parallel in a single run. This high-throughput approach revolutionizes our ability to decode complex genomes efficiently […]

Revolutionary advancements in medical technologies have armed physicians with state-of-the-art methods for detecting and monitoring cancer. Two of these methods are liquid and solid biopsies which provide physicians and researchers with integral information about a patient’s condition. What is a Solid Biopsy? Solid biopsies are the traditional method of analyzing tumors; this typically involves extracting samples of tissue from the tumor using a needle or

The characterization of the metagenomics of an ecosystem is an integral part of environmental research and understanding the role microorganisms play within their ecosystem. However, isolating high-quality DNA to allow for this characterization can be a challenge when it is being extracted from samples rich in inhibitors, such as humic and fulvic acid. The Mag-Bind®

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples are commonly used for preserving and storing biological samples, such as cancer tumor samples, for future analysis. However, the formalin fixation and paraffin embedding process can significantly impact the quality and yield of extracted DNA, making it challenging for downstream applications such as PCR and NGS. Omega Bio-tek developed the Mag-Bind® FFPE
