Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in a variety of industrial processes and consumer products. They are highly stable, resistant to degradation and persist in our environment as potentially hazardous ‘forever chemicals’.

In this guide, we take a look at how cell culture contamination can be avoided and some of the key ways it can be detected.

Long-read sequencing enables the accurate identification and characterization of complex genomic features. It outperforms its short-read alternatives in de novo assembly, mapping, and variant calling applications.

Human iPSC-derived excitatory neurons provide helpful physiologically relevant cell models to investigate neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, although achieving healthy neuronal cultures can be challenging.
