To conduct data analysis of nucleic acid samples, typically DNA, a reasonable amount of DNA material is essential. Today’s standard approach is to replicate very small samples of specific DNA to obtain sufficient quantities that allow detection or identification, for example in biomedical or forensic laboratories. The common method is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). … Continue reading
Iridian Spectral Technologies proudly announces that their article “Optical Filters Enhance PCR-Based Detection of COVID-19” is the cover story in the latest issue (January/February 2022) of BioPhotonics. Wavelength-specific filters help to separate fluorescence and excitation light, resulting in less background noise, which facilitates accurate results in real time. The optical filters providing the wavelength selectivity … Continue reading
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique to make multiple copies of a short sequence of target DNA, exponentially amplifying it. DNA must be amplified so that there is enough material to reliably detect and identify it with a high degree of confidence. The multitude of PCR applications include infectious disease diagnosis. If the target … Continue reading
In an effort to support the rapidly growing use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in rapid diagnosis of diseases such as COVID-19, Iridian Spectral Technologies has introduced a line of ultra-performance optical filters specifically designed for Real-Time PCR applications. The ultra PCR fluorescence filter sets provide “more signal, with less background,” thus improving the signal … Continue reading
Whether your application is microscopy, flow cytometry, PCR or NGS, the most important thing is reliably distinguishing the multiple fluorescence channels. Use Chroma Technology’s “Browse by Fluorochrome” and “Spectra Viewer” functions to match the right filters with the right fluorochromes. In this way you can create your optimal fluorescence detection channels. These channels will provide … Continue reading
