Hi all,
can you explain to me what the cloning primers are? are they also called"diagnostic"? for what purpose are they needed?
Thanks
Hi, I have a question about the 0.5 McFarland standard. In different websites I read that the for the 0.5 McFarland standard, the absorbance at a wavelength of 625 nm should be 0.08 to 0.13. I...
