The Importance of Accreditation for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Undergraduate Programs

This is a guest post from our colleagues at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a fundamental need for well-prepared scientists with accurate knowledge and rigorous experimental and critical thinking skills, as well…

Adding COVID-19 Precautions to DNA Isolation Protocols in PCR-based Edvo-Kits

While many of us are doing our part to minimize the spread of COVID-19 by doing things such as wearing protective masks and practicing social distancing, Edvotek is doing its part by providing an alternative protocol to some popular PCR-based…

Five Sensational Synthetic Biology Projects

Synthetic biologists see cells as programmable machines that can be constructed (and reconstructed) with interchangeable parts made out of different DNA sequences. Part computer science, part biology, part engineering, and a large part out of the box thinking and creativity…

Making the Polymerase Chain Reaction Easier with PCR EdvoBeads

Invented in 1983 by Kary Mullis, PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) has become indispensable in modern molecular biology research. Through a clever use of DNA polymerase Dr. Mullis discovered a method to quickly create many copies of a specific sequence of…
