Over the past decades, to counteract the use of cannabis as a recreative drug, most world authorities have banned all Cannabis varieties without making a distinction. However, recently, some countries have authorized the cultivation of hemp (Cannabis sativa) cultivars characterized by a low amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), responsible for Cannabis psychotropic effect. Since then, the […]

The DNA extraction is a method to purify DNA by using physical and/or chemical methods from a sample, separating DNA from cell membranes, proteins and other components. The extraction has five basic steps : cellular lyses, separation of the soluble DNA from cell debris, binding the DNA of interest to a purification matrix, washing proteins and […]

During the past decade, the Coriolis air samplers have been increasingly used for air bio-contamination monitoring. With over 300 publications from research labs all around the world, we were able to select the best open-source research papers with studies using the Coriolis air samplers. With sampling strategies optimized for bacteria, fungi, and viruses, these papers […]
