Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process. Library GenerationLibrary generation refers to the construction of NGS libraries from RNA and DNA sources.Library PreparationLibrary preparation is a critical step in sequencing workflows, where DNA or RNA samples are converted into libraries for high-throughput, next generation sequencing. This step ensures accurate results and minimizes biases. Explore library preparation kits in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.MutagenesisProtein BiologyThe analysis of protein expression, identity and function is vital for many areas of life science research and drug discovery. Some of the most commonly used techniques in protein analysis include Western blotting, electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.
