Industry news

Porvair Sciences is a leading supplier of specialist assay kits and high-performance microplates for cancer and life science research.

Exhibited at the recent American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting - considerable interest was shown in Porvair’s growing range of Chromatrap® ChIP kits for epigenetics research plus a new range of assay and cell culture microplates for high throughput screening and cell growth and proliferation respectively.

Chromatrap® kits are well known for their easy, fast, and sensitive approach to immunocapture of antibody-chromatin complexes from a wide range of samples. Employing Chromatrap® bead-free Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) technology, collaborators on the CEAT project** are developing new profiling approaches to identify and characterize epigenetic drugs that are effective in preventing cancer development in ovarian cancer models.

DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer. Find the best DNA sequencing products, including DNA sequencing kits, genomic libraries and genetic identity kits in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.

Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
