Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide elements at the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from degradation and genetic information loss. Telomere shortening has negative effects on health conditions and has been linked to many health issues including aging and cancer. Accurate and consistent quantification of telomere length is important in many aspects of cell biology such as chromosomal instability, DNA repair, senescence, apoptosis, cell dysfunctions, and oncogenesis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

ScienCell exclusively offers qPCR-based assay kits for the accurate, simple, and fast telomere length quantification of various species samples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
