Solutions for your Life Science lab

Solutions for your Life Science lab Life Science has experienced a great growth all around the world in the past decade. Scientists have made one breakthrough after another exploring the mysteries of nature. Studying the most basic mechanisms of life in organisms can be extended to treat diseases, to give more possibilities and new hope to patients. Those benefits for our world give a great meaning and depth to the field of Life Science, including all biological sciences exploring the structures of life. As the research gets deeper, the importance of sample preparations is rising, having a...

PCR Sample Preparation PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, is a technique to amplify specific DNA sequences. The key to a qualitative and successful PCR is to minimize sources of error in the sample preparation process.

Challenge 1 Animal and plant tissues need to be disrupted at a low temperature to stabilize nucleic acids. IKA’s solution Tube Mill control The intermittent running mode helps to improve sample size uniformity and can be accompanied by dry ice, which avoids the thermal breakdown of DNA during high speed grinding. The main unit has a number of programs Tube Mill control installed, which can be altered by the user and several precautions for safe operations. Contamination-free processing can be achieved using single-use disposable milling chambers or autoclavable, reusable tubes. Technical...

Molecular Cloning Molecular Cloning Molecular cloning is a method to produce many copies of a specific DNA fragment. The DNA or RNA is extracted from a sample and amplified in a PCR. The amplified fragment can then be digested with restriction enzymes and ligated with a vector to produce a plasmid with the desired DNA. A microorganism such as E.coli is then transformed with the plasmid, enriched and harvested to produce a high quantity of plasmids containing the desired DNA fragment.

Molecular Cloning Challenge 1 The extraction of nucleic acids is crucial for the success of the whole experiment. Therefore the sample has to be disrupted carefully and under low temperature conditions to prevent degradation of the DNA material. IKA’s solution Tube Mill control ULTRA-TURRAX® Tube Drive P control The sample can be mixed with dry ice directly during The disperser ensures the best stirring, dispersing, processing to avoid thermal degradation of DNA dur- grinding and homogenization results and has been ing high speed grinding (see page 5 for details). designed in particular for...

Molecular Cloning Challenge 2 All enzyme reaction steps and the cultivation of E.coli require precise control of temperature and time to be able to successfully produce the plasmid. IKA’s solution MATRIX Mixing, heating and cooling functions are performed as required with precise temperature control. Uniform tempering of the samples is ensured by the various attachments fitting perfectly to the common reaction vessels in Life Science labs. The MATRIX thermoshakers are ideal for incubation of enzymatic reactions (see page 7 for details).
