As part of its new quarterly Decoded newsletter, Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), provides insightful and interesting articles, features, news and technical tips.

In the latest issue, Adam Clore, a Scientific Applications Specialist at IDT, provides advice on how to optimize agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
