Sonication Vs MNase for ChIP assay
Apr 14 2011 09:59 AM | Dukey in ChIP Assay
I am sure that this debate has been covered before, but I just wanted to share my own personal experiences with it. I am working with a TF and fairly recently switched to MNase. I initially tried MNase digestion out of pure curiousity, but I have to sa...

How to convert g into rpm?
May 28 2009 07:05 PM | bioforum in Centrifugation
The relationship between revolutions per minute (RPM) and relative centrifugal force (xg) is: g = (1.118 × 10-5) R S2 where g is the relative centrifugal force, R is the radius of the rotor in centimeters, and S is the speed of the centrifuge in revolu...

Handling RNA - How to avoid RNase contamination?
Dec 08 2009 09:31 PM | bioforum in RNA Methods
Hi Susan, I would second what tea-test has pointed out. Any tissue you process is going to be loaded with RNases (cells contain RNases). Any residual RNase present on your homogenizer is going to be very minor compared to what is already present in...

Issues Might Meet in the Process of Using ELISA...
There are some issues that researchers might meet in the process of using ELISA Kits:
1. Positive results in negative control
2. High background across entire plate
3. Low absorbance values
4. High absorbance values for samples and/or positive control - absorbance does not go down as the sample is diluted down the plate
5. Inconsistent absorbance across the plate
6. Color develops slowly
