Introduction Western blotting is a quick and very sensitive assay used in molecular biology. It is used for the characterization and detection of proteins. This method uses the inbuilt specificity of antigen-antibody interactions to identify specific antigens using polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies.…
Introduction The Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test is primarily used to screen for syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum. The RPR test, like the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test, is a non-treponemal test that detects…
Definition The Widal test is a serological agglutination test utilized to diagnose Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi enteric fever. It detects specific antibodies produced in the patient’s serum in response to these bacteria. Introduction to Widal test Georges Fernand Isidor…
Introduction The latex agglutination test is a diagnostic procedure that involves particle clumping, or agglutination, in the presence of particular antibodies. It is a quick and dependable technique for detecting a wide range of analytes in clinical laboratories. The test…
Introduction The Litmus Milk Test is a basic microbiology procedure that is critical for understanding how microbes metabolize nutrients and create acids, bases, and other byproducts. In this quick review, we’ll look at the concepts and importance of this flexible…
Introduction A PRP centrifuge machine (platelet-rich plasma centrifuge) is a laboratory apparatus that separates and concentrates platelets from a blood sample. Platelets are tiny disc-shaped cells that aid in blood clotting and wound healing. PRP has been employed in a…
Introduction Biosafety cabinets are essential in laboratories because they protect both researchers and the environment. These specialized control systems are intended to offer a safe environment for handling hazardous items such as infectious agents and poisonous substances. Understanding biosafety cabinets’…
Introduction The bile esculin test is a microbiological assay used to determine the ability of microorganisms to hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile salts. It is commonly employed for the identification and differentiation of certain bacterial species, particularly within…
Introduction Several bacteria and archaea can use their metabolism to convert sulfur-containing compounds to hydrogen sulfide and gain energy in the process. These sulfur-containing molecules might be inorganic, such as sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, or tetrathionates, organic, such as sulfur amino…
The translation in eukaryotes is the biological process by which protein is synthesized from the information coded on the molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). It can also be defined as the process in which nucleotides sequence on the messenger RNA…
