DNA extraction is a critical step in molecular biology […]

In April 2021, air sampling was conducted in outdoor restaurant terraces in three major cities in Portugal to collect data on the presence of SARS-CoV-2. Nineteen air samples were collected during lunchtime using Bertin’ Coriolis Compact air sampler, and one of the samples tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. This low number of positive samples was […]

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is known for its anti-inflammatory effects and is commonly used to treat auto-immune and systemic inflammatory diseases. Basophils are a type of white blood cells that are responsible for inflammatory reactions during the immune response and produce inflammatory mediators such as histamine and serotonin. Recently, it has been reported that, the anti-inflammatory […]

Micro RNAs are small naturally occurring non-coding ribonucleic acids, with sizes between 18 and 40 nucleotides (nts). Found in plants, animals and viruses, they have been proven to play a significant role in RNA silencing and the regulation of gene expression. As a result, interest in smaller RNA species, such as miRNA, has increased. In […]

Sample prep is a curious and difficult task. It is not always easy to choose the right equipment, accessories and workflows since everything depends on the sample to prepare and homogenize. Homogenization of tough samples, such as bones, is even more complicated. The biggest challenge when working with such tissues is efficient sample processing. The […]

Bioaerosols consist of airborne particles that may contain or come from living organisms. The composition and concentration of bioaerosols in the air are critical parameters to consider for the welfare of animals and humans. From healthcare facilities to the food industry, among many other work spaces, the monitoring of bioaerosols and the efficiency of their decontamination […]

Independent assessment of the dose rate is essential to prevent or mitigate incidents in nuclear facilities and protect the population and the environment. For such measurements, a sustainable and fast-response measurement system with the possibility of remote control is required. In case of use, it must be possible to transport the measuring instruments around the […]
