Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis is a term referred to as the movement of charged molecules in an electric field. Agarose gel electrophoresis is commonly used to separate/purify larger DNA fragments. This technique is used to separate DNA fragments…
Identification of Molecular Markers
During evolution, many variations have been accumulated in different plant species. These variations are in the form of mutations such as insertion, deletion, inversion and substitution. These variations give rise to diversity. Diversity is considered…
Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)
What can be the simple technique to find out molecular weight of the in the given sample? Or what if we want to determine if the protein has a single subunit or multiple subunit? The…
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)
ELISA, which stands for Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, is a widely used technique in immunology to detect the presence of various antibodies or antigens in a sample. ELISA techniques have proved their supremacy over Radioimmunoassay (RIA)…
SARS-CoV-2 detection by RT-PCR:
Covid-19 is a global pandemic caused due to a virus known as SARS-CoV-2. This disease is impacting the world to the extent that is not imagined by any of us. The key behind controlling the…
Vaccines for Covid-19
When the world is suffering from a pandemic of Covid-19, the only hope to combat the situation is effective production and worldwide vaccination. In the previous articles, we discussed vaccines, their types, and their mode…
How do vaccines work?
In the last article, we discussed different types of vaccines. This article mainly focuses on the working of vaccines to generate an immune response in a body when administered. For a vaccine to work most…
Types of Vaccines
In the previous article post, we discussed the general idea behind vaccines. This article is more focused on different types of vaccines. From the discovery of vaccines up to recent times, a lot of research…
The World of Vaccines
For the last two years, when the whole world is suffering from a pandemic known as COVID-19 caused by the virus SARS-COV-2, the word we frequently hear is ‘Vaccines’. From the onset of the pandemic,…
