Diagnostic immunoglobulin (Ig) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) clonality analyses need to be simple, reproducible, and rapid. Sucrose and cresol red (gel loading buffer reagents) were added to a routine IgH PCR reaction mix to obviate the need for adding gel loading buffer separately after PCR amplification. Not only did this decrease the time spent after PCR analysis but also gave similar or e...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission has been reported worldwide and novel SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to emerge. A strain, the Delta variant (B.1.617.2), is spreading worldwide. The reportedly high infectivity immune evasion potency. In June 2021, World Health Organization categorized it as a of concern (VOC). Therefore, vital develop tests that can exclus...

An evaluation is made of the complementarity between two non-invasive techniques, cuticle microhistological analysis (CMA) and PCR-capillary electrophoresis (PCR-CE) DNA-based analysis, for determination herbivore diet composition from faecal samples. Cuticle based on different microanatomical characteristics epidermal fragments remaining in faeces. The PCR-CE technique combines PCR amplificati...
