Latest App Notes & Case Studies

With greater portability than real-time PCR instrumentation, the AmpliFire produces rapid and accurate results in the field or in the lab without cumbersome equipment or reagents. In a recent study, the AmpliFire® accurately detected the presence of Salmonella enterica using both purified genomic DNA and a crude sample preparation method, making it a powerful tool for point of use applications.

The particle size of the fat droplets present in dairy and other food emulsions is important in defining properties such as flavor release, mouth feel and the emulsion stability.

Chocolate occupies a special place in the Western palate and one of its attractions is known to be due to its unique mouthfeel.

This study evaluated multiplex genotyping on the IntelliQube, a PCR instrument optimized for 1.6 µL reaction volumes in Array Tape®. It demonstrates the feasibility of achieving two SNP genotyping results in a single reaction well. IntelliQube provides cost savings through miniaturized PCR reaction volumes, shorter thermal cycling times, and multiplex reactions without compromising data quality.

The AmpliFire by Douglas Scientific along with GrouperChek isothermal amplification chemistry from PureMolecular, LLC provide a simple and portable tool to perform genetic analysis at the point of use. This paper demonstrates the ability of the AmpliFire combined with the GrouperChek assay to differentiate the highly prized grouper from tilapia, a common illegal substitute.

From the humble cereal bowl to the intricate electronic components in your mobile phone and even body armour, ceramics are found in a diverse range of industries and applications.

A three-step strain/shear rate test was performed on a toothpaste and hair gel to evaluate the rate and extent of elasticity recovery following extrusion from a tube.

This application note relates to a test which is commonly used in the adhesives industry, known as the inverted probe test. In this test an inverted probe is brought in to contact with the adhesive at a fixed speed, contact pressure and contact time. The tack is then recorded as the maximum force required to break the resultant bond.

This note discusses how the NTA concentration measurement has been modified to provide improved accuracy,precision and reproducibility of concentration measurements on a range of nanoparticle types, covering a broad size and concentration range.
