Shifting Gears from CAPEX to OPEX: The Financial Acumen of Outsourcing Laboratory Services In today’s dynamic pharmaceutical landscape where inflation and cost controls are at the forefront, prudent financial management is more important than ever. Amidst this backdrop, a trend is garnering significant attention – shifting from capital expenditures (CAPEX) to operational expenditures (OPEX) by […]
Why Outsource?
5 Major Reasons Why Researchers should Outsource CAR-T ddPCR for CAR-T Therapy Vector Copy Number Quantification
CAR-T Droplet Digital PCR (CAR-T ddPCR) is a PCR based technique that enables the absolute quantitation of target DNA or RNA sequences, without the need for standard curves. This technology is extremely useful in supporting CAR-T therapy because it can accurately measure the vector copy number, which is critical to the success of the therapy. […]
5 Advantages to outsourcing RNA extraction
From reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) to expression analysis and cloning, RNA extraction is a critical early step in many common molecular biology techniques. It is a challenging task that requires expertise, specialized equipment, and materials which if not correctly carried out correctly, can severely affect the outcomes of downstream applications. Many organizations ranging from research institutes, […]
4 Major reasons researchers are outsourcing Neural Progenitor Cell (NPC) differentiation
Why are researchers outsourcing NPC Differentiation? NPC Differentiation applications can be vast, and could revolutionize treatment of neurological diseases – but why outsource it? Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are a type of multipotent, adult stem cell that possess the ability to differentiate into neural cells. NPCs differentiate into the glial and neural cell types that […]
Why are Researchers Outsourcing Whole Exome Sequencing? – 3 Powerful Reasons
In this blog we look at 3 powerful reasons researchers outsource Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and how it might be the right choice for your research. Across the globe researchers have been deciphering the genetic code to identify the sequences of nucleotides in the human genome that code for proteins. In many cases, they are […]
Bulk RNA Sequencing vs. Single Cell RNA Sequencing – what’s the difference between these powerful techniques?
Bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) are both methods used to study gene expression profiles in cells. The major difference between the methods lie in the scale and resolution at which they analyze gene expression. Moreover, researchers employ these techniques for different applications – this blog looks at the differences between […]
