Australian Lab Uses Sound to Improve Reverse Transcription in Single-Cell Gene Expression Studies
The technique, called acoustic microstreaming, improves cDNA yields from reverse transcription of single-cell quantities of RNA 10- to 100-fold over standard methods by promoting better reagent mixing — or "micromixing" — in standard PCR tubes.
