Cellular and Molecular Investigations
With an MSc in Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, I have learned I really like diagnostic applications. This knowledge, combined my desire to equip primary health care providers in Canada and around the world, has led to this site.
cells
- cell extraction
- cell culture
- cell lysis
- histology
- and so on
DNA Assays
GeneTests.org is an NIH-funded database of available genetic tests.
- DNA analysis
- chromosome analysis
- karyotyping
- FISH
- sequence analysis
- PCR
- Southern blotting
- Restriction fragment length polymorphism - good if the exact mutation is not known
- allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) hybridization
- sequencing
- exzpression analysis
- microarray
- RT-PCR
- ethical considerations
Protein Assays
- protein analysis
- Western blotting
- immunostaing
- enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay
- mass spectophotometry
- proteome analysis
- blood work
- electrolytes
- etc
