Single-cell analysis is an expanding technology offering unique perspectives into transcriptional functions of individual cells. In contrast with bulk RNAseq that analyses the entire RNA content of a biological sample regardless of the cell of origin of the transcript, scRNA-seq first relies on the successful isolation of live cells from the sample, and separation of [...]

  What is Guanidine? Guanidine, also known as guanidinium, GTC and GHCL is a chaotropic agent that denatures and unravels proteins and nucleic acids. It can be used to separate RNA from DNA through the denaturation of nucleases (eg RNAse), stabilising both the RNA, DNA and proteins. This chaotropic property of guanidine makes it a [...]
