Studies on drug metabolism aid in evaluating the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety during discovery and development.

When designing molecular diagnostic tests, different parameters are of interest to evaluate, for example, sensitivity, specificity, dynamic range, turnaround time and user friendliness. Which parameters are most important depends on application and may require extensive optimization. Examples will be discussed based on quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR).

This special edition webinar compendium features a collection of webinars that explore how these forever chemicals are shaping research.

The polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is firmly established as the method of choice for the detection of microbial agents in the areas of clinical, veterinary and agricultural diagnostics and food safety. The current pandemic has highlighted the critical importance of local, fast and specific testing for SARS-CoV-2. It should also act as a wake-up call for the threat posed by infectious diseases spreading because of climate change, increasing antibiotic resistance and the hazard of zoonotic transfer caused by human encroachment of animal habitats. We are working on new tests, protocol and reagents to achieve faster molecular diagnostic testing both for both laboratory based and POC applications. Our target of delivering a diagnostic test result within five minutes of sampling has the potential to lead to a paradigm shift in our approach to detecting and classifying microbial pathogens in preparation for the inevitable next pandemic

With unrivaled flexibility and high sensitivity, the WAVE brings label-free quantification to a whole new world of applications, revolutionizing the study of biomolecular interactions.

The field of synthetic biology revolves around the design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycle, where biological components are adjusted in multiple iterations.
