Cell Culture
1. Sample Preparation
Preparing samples for PCR or qPCR typically requires extraction and purification of nuclear material. Depending on the sample source, this may involve mechanical manipulation via homogenization or require the use of resins or beads to help bind the nucleic acids prior to purification. Prepare your samples with the help of DNA and RNA extraction, isolation, and purification kits, plus reagents, buffers, and more.

3. Harvesting
Collecting and isolating cells may involve centrifugation, depth filtration, and cell detachment. Before proceeding, adherent cells should be detached from the surface of the cell culture flask or dish. Choose to harvest your cells with products from our portfolio. Find cell scrapers, lifters, and reagents, as well as resources to support your workflow.
