Adenoviral Vector for siRNA Delivery
October 15, 2003 11:37 am | Articles | CommentsThe p Silencer ™ adeno 1.0-CMV System combines the adenoviral vectors with an efficient siRNA expression system. The system provides efficient siRNA delivery to numerous cell types, including many primary and other difficult to transfect cells.
Localization Vectors
October 15, 2003 11:37 am | Articles | CommentsNew BD Living Colors™ subcellular localization vectors pHcRed1-Nuc and pHcRed1-Mito express the far-red fluorescent protein HcRed1 fused to a localization tag. Far-red shifted fluorescence easily distinguishes HcRed1 from other fluorescent proteins.
Inducible BAC Library Kit
October 15, 2003 11:37 am | Articles | CommentsCopyControl™ BAC Cloning Kits enable the making libraries of stable, single-copy BAC clones that can be induced to high-copy number. A 1 ml culture of an induced clone yields microgram amounts of BAC DNA for fingerprinting and sequencing.
Gene Assembly
October 15, 2003 11:37 am | Articles | CommentsChromosome Assembler uses unique address tags and Gene Self-Assembly (GENSA™) technology to create and assemble 3-8, or up to 120 DNA fragments at a time. Fragments can be pre-validated, so the final assembly is almost always the correct product.
Lab Style Bottles (2051)
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsEconomical soda lime glass Lab Style Bottles feature a wide GL45 neck opening, are easy to fill and pour, and are ideal for storage as well as mixing and sampling. Bottles, caps, and pouring rings are autoclavable up to 140 C.
Gene Expression Assays
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsQuantiTect™ Gene Expression Assays are functionally validated primer-probe sets for quantitative real-time PCR, and are delivered ready to use in a master-mix format.
Alcohol-Based Hand Wipe
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsSani-Dex® ALC Antimicrobial Alcohol Hand Wipes are an extension of the Sani-System® brand of hand hygiene and environmental hard surface disinfecting products. This alcohol-based hand wash contains 65.9% ethyl alcohol by volume and prevents cross contamination.
Human Whole-Genome Array
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsWhole-genome human array is composed of almost 200,000 long oligo probes (60 mers), with an average coverage of 5 probes per gene. The chip designs are currently being used for gene expression analysis and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) studies.
Proteomics Research Products
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsProducts for proteomics research include an application for multiplexed capillary electrophoresis instruments, as well as a software analysis package. The new application automatically determines sizing and relative concentrations of proteins.
UV Microplate
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsThe well height of the half area 96-well UV microplate allows for a sample volume (175 μl) directly corresponding to a 1-cm path length for calibration using UV absorbance, while offering a reduction in reagent costs.
Electronic Laboratory Notebook
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsNEXXIS version 1.1 Electronic Laboratory Notebook solution automates and enforces all aspects of Standard Operating Procedures, including data collection from small instruments.
Cell Incubation Chambers
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsVacu-Cell™ cell incubation chambers hold coverslips or other surfaces by one side only. The coverslip or slide surface is held securely in place by the application of vacuum. Dual O-rings isolate the vacuum from the area of the coverslip under study and securely hold the coverslip in place.
Confocal Imaging And FRAP Track Movement
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsFluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) is a non-invasive technique with numerous applications in cell biology. The technique enables the observation of dynamic movement of fluorescence-tagged molecules within living cells under light microscopes.
Reductive Amination Toolkit
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsReductive Amination Toolkit provides the resins required to optimize reaction conditions for amine synthesis and purification using reductive amination. This reaction is a powerful tool routinely used in generating structurally diverse drug candidates.
High Density Mouse Bioarray
October 15, 2003 11:35 am | Articles | CommentsCodeLink™ UniSet™ Mouse 20K I Bioarray enables scientists tostudy gene expression across much of the mouse genome in a singleexperiment for drug target identification, pathway characterization, anddrug effect predictions.
