Molecular Biology

In the field of Molecular Biology the goal is to analyze and understand the molecular basis of biological processes. It concerns itself with the function of DNA/RNA sequences and the interaction between DNA, RNA and proteins. Furthermore, this field overlaps to a great extend with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly biochemistry and genetics. One of the most important molecular biology methods is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It is used to exponentially amplify a specific segment of DNA for various downstream applications like DNA cloning (genetic engineering), gene expression analysis (RT-PCR, RT-qPCR), genetic fingerprinting (paternity testing, forensics), sequencing (Next generation sequencing) and others more.

Eppendorf Client Interviews

Michael Dreifke

"A major advantage of the Eppendorf BioSpectrometer is the temperature-regulated cuvette shaft."

Dr. Silvia Ferrara

"The Eppendorf BioSpectrometer fluorescence for example was the first device that could enable absorbance as well as fluorescence measurement, which is important since we have many samples in various concentration ranges."

Mi Eun Lee

"I use the Biospectrometer kinetic to measure the OD value to establish the degree of microbial growth after microbial cultivation and to draw the growth curve. Here, the BioSpectrometer has been a very suitable and reliable device to use."
