Precision medicine requires success in two intertwined aspects: precision therapy and personalized medicine.
Precision therapy is being able to effectively treat the right disease; to have therapies that target for the correct pathological pathways. Personalized medicine requires diagnosing a specific individual’s disease based on accurate assessment their complex health and pathological status. Our underlying premise is that an individual’s baseline proteome reflects their past and present and thus, will dictate their future health and...

Read MoreImprove NGS Library Quantification with the Techne Prime Pro 48Jun 29, 2016
With the advent of NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) came the ability to learn more about genomes than ever before and also the ability to do so faster.
This trend has done nothing but continue with speed and data quality improving though chemistry and platform advances. However, NGS is by no means a cheap commodity in any lab. With systems ranging from around $150,000 to easily in excess of $1,000,000 the cost of purchasing and running such systems is still very high, driving a need to get the most from every run....
