Accuracy is also affected if antibodies from the same manufacturer or batch do not generate reproducible results. Overall, these issues can lead to false […]

These antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been detected in sewage, and thus there is concern that sewage could be the source of an outbreak of […]

Which Microplate is Best for your Assay?

The choice of microplate for an assay depends on a variety of factors, but it all starts with the requirements of the result expected from the assaying process, and the rest is worked out backward. The diagram below is a brief summary of what happens when the decision-making process is undertaken: Figure 1. The microplate […]
