In Vitro: refers to a medical test or experiment/procedure that is conducted in a laboratory within the confines of a test tube or laboratory dish. This is not to be confused with the term in vivo, which is a medical test or procedure that is performed on or in a living organism.
When looking to answer complex biological questions, using in vitro techniques, you want the model that best reflects the in vivo condition. For decades two-dimensional cell culture has...
With the advent of cost-effective culturing approaches, 3D cell culture models (3D-CCMs) have been rapidly adopted for drug discovery since they provide a more physiologically relevant micro-...
CRISPR has revolutionized how we do science in a similar way PCR changed the face of molecular biology. Learn how to take advantage of this phenomenal technology in the easiest way with Synth...
Affinity purification, immunoprecipitation, and mass spectrometry analysis are essential tools used in proteomic studies. A successful outcome is facilitated by high-capacity supports, effici...
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are rapid, sensitive, and easy-to-use immunoassays for detecting specific target proteins in vitro. Although the LFA format is extremely popular in point-of-care di...

Current methods for in vitro diagnosis of autoimmune diseases (ADs) are mainly based on the detection of circulating autoantibodies using specific AD autoantigens. A high-quality recombinant...
The soil microbiome can produce, resist, or degrade antibiotics and even catabolize them. Resistance genes are widely distributed in the soil and may act as a reservoir for pathogen antibioti...
