Potomac Photonics has joined the fight against the coronavirus. We have reconfigured our equipment to start producing protective visors for healthcare workers on the frontline. We are all in this together.
Microfluidics is an evolving technology that enables scientists and engineers to perform molecular biology including DNA and RNA sequencing, PCR, and even whole transcriptome analysis more rapidly and at a lower cost than conventional technologies. Microfluidics technology leverages the manufacturing processes long utilized for the manufacturing of semiconductor (IC) chips to achieve the production, at…
The modern world is an interconnected ecosystem and this heartwarming story that started with a cat named Ace shows how fast responses changes lives for our customers. Ace Heidi Leonard is a research chemist at NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in Gaithersburg, MD. She lives in Baltimore with her one and half…
High-throughput continuous cell-based screening has several benefits from current conventional plate-based methods. The unique liquid handling capabilities offered through microfluidic systems has provided an opportunity to explore and screen several hundreds of thousands of cells in a matter a of a few minutes or hours with 1000-fold less reagents(1-3) . Droplet-based microfluidic systems are becoming…
