Product news

PromoCell now offers a range of cost-effective mycoplasma safety tools for detection and elimination of different mycoplasma species in cell culture. This includes highly sensitive and specific detection kits based on conventional or Real-Time PCR as well antibiotic and non-antibiotic reagents for complete and reliable elimination of mycoplasma contamination.

The PCR Mycoplasma Test Kits contain all reagents (including premium Taq polymerases and internal standards) required to perform convenient, rapid and reproducible conventional PCRs that can be analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis - or Real-Time PCRs using cyclers from different manufacturers. The kits can detect all mycoplasma species relevant for cell culture contamination (>20 mycoplasma species) and have a detection limit of less than 50 mycoplasma genomes per sample volume. Samples can be fast and easily prepared by boiling and centrifuging.

The Mycoplasma-EX and BIOMYC ready-to-use solutions are highly efficient resulting in a fast and complete elimination of mycoplasmas contaminating your cell culture – but do not harm your precious cells. Mycoplasma-EX Spray and Pharmacidal Spray that can be used to clean and disinfect laboratory surfaces and apparatuses complete our anti-mycoplasma arsenal.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits.

Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples. Find the best gel doc / image analysis products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
