Join Jeff Hickey, MicroGEM’s forensic expert and product specialist, to discover the advantages of temperature-driven, enzymatic sperm lysis including qPCR and STR data comparing the enzymatic chemistry to conventional sperm lysis methods. Jeff will also discuss its use in Y screening of sexual assault evidence, as well as its use in differential extraction protocols.

Register to attend this webinar featuring Jo Stanton (University of Otago) and David Saul (CSO, MicroGEM) on Thursday, Feb. 13 at 3:00 pm EST.

Jo and David will discuss a novel DNA extraction approach using thermostable enzymes and a thermoresponsive cartridge used with the PDQeX to enable extractions without centrifugation or harsh solvents. They will share study results demonstrating the quality of sequencing-ready DNA extracted from bacteria and how this rapid approach compares to traditional chemical-based methods.

Register to attend this must-see webinar to simplify and improve your insect DNA extractions: April 1 at 7 am PDT | 10 am EDT | 4 pm CET

MicroGEM product specialist, Rob Thompson, will introduce a simple protocol for extracting DNA from insects using a single tube, without ionic detergents, magnetic beads or columns. He will use case studies featuring a range of insects including fruit flies, anopheles mosquitoes, and African whitefly, and will present qPCR data comparing enzymatic lysis with traditional spin-column methods.

Discover the latest research developments and emerging technologies at this no-travel conference, featuring the latest gene-editing applications as well as developments in single-cell work and molecular diagnostics. Visit the MicroGEM booth to learn about our single-tube, no-loss RNA and DNA extraction methods to support downstream sequencing and gene editing capabilities.

Join MicroGEM CEO, Jeff Chapman, for a glimpse at the future of genomic analysis and nucleic acid isolation. During this webinar and Q&A session, Jeff discusses advances made in RNA extraction and stabilization from rare samples to a single cell using a series of enzymes which efficiently lyse cells, clear interacting proteins and eliminate RNases while preserving the integrity of the extracted RNA.

This webinar is a featured event at Select Science's Virtual Summit on Cancer and Immunology Research being held May 11-13 online. Register to attend.

Join MBARI's Christina Preston, research specialist, for a look at new ways to collect and analyze organisms in real-time. Click on the webinar title to register.

Molecular biological analyses, even RNA or DNA extractions, are typically confined to traditional labs. New technologies, such as the Environmental Sample Processor developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), offer fresh ways to process samples to detect and quantify different species or substances. Learn more about ways to collect, handle, and analyze samples in real-time in remote field settings. These new technologies can reshape monitoring and management strategies of a range of organisms in diverse environmental settings. MicroGEM's RNAGEM plays a role in providing remote RNA extractions.

LabRoots is hosting a virtual event, which will cover a variety of topics, including global developments for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Infectious Diseases, discoveries in Microbiology & Immunology research to improve human, animal, and plant health, including virology, pathogenesis, genomics and epidemiology, microbial communities and biofilms, and research to find improved vaccines, diagnostics, and antiviral drugs for Influenza. MicroGEM will have a booth at the event from September 8-10. Click the link to visit the LabRoots registration page.

LabRoots is hosting a virtual conference on September 30, 2020 to continue the discussion around CRISPR classification systems, applications in biomedicine, and the use of CRISPR in the fight against COVID-19.

Join Dr. Anastasia Malek from the Petrov Institute of Oncology in St. Petersburg as she shares her experience isolating specific populations of the thyroid- and the prostate-derived ECnV followed by miRNA isolation and analysis. The webinar includes details of protocols and results.

Small extracellular nano-vesicles (SEnV) circulating with plasma is a heterogeneous population of vesicles secreted by different cells, mostly by blood cells and endothelium. A small fraction of this population is derived from other cells and tissues in amounts apparently proportional to the tissue mass and secretory activity. This small fraction has a great diagnostic potency since molecular composition of these vesicles may reflect the condition of specific tissue or cell type. Therefore, isolation and analysis of specific disease-indicative SEnV present exciting opportunities to develop new approaches for cancer diagnostic and management.

The pattern of cellular miRNAs is affected during malignant transformation. Cancer-associated shift of miRNA profile of malignant cells can be translated into ECnVs secreted by these cells and available for analysis from the plasma sample. This is a main reason why miRNA from tissue-specific population of plasma SEnV is considered to be a promising cancer marker. However, isolation of miRNA from small vesicular population is an extremely tricky process vulnerable to loss of material. RNAGEM isolates the miRNA from small samples, to reduce loss of material, and to minimize alteration of miRNA profile.
