Agilent Technologies Products & Reviews

BL21-CodonPlus strains are engineered to contain extra copies of genes that encode the tRNAs that most frequently limit translation of heterologous proteins in E. coli. They are ideal for difficult protein expression, especially when codon bias is a problem.

The pET E. coli expression system is a widely used in vivo bacterial expression system due to the strong selectivity of the bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase for its cognate promoter sequences, the high level of activity of the polymerase, and the high efficiency of translation mediated by the T7 gene.

The VariFlex protein expression system offers vectors with unique tags that enhance the utility of E. coli as an expression host. Included in our tag offering are three different SET tags which increase protein solubility and the SBP purification tag for high-yield, pure proteins.

Allows in vivo excision of cloned fragments in the phagemid vector Screening with both antibodies and nucleic acid probes Each premade library comes with necessary strains and helper phage  

This collection of competent cells provides customers with classic  E. coli  strains that have been engineered to become competent for use in cloning experiments.

Identify fish species quickly, easily, and accurately. Whether your samples are fresh, frozen, dried, salted, or minced, Agilent’s DNA Fish Species Identification solution provides reliable, robust answers within hours. And, the method is far more accurate than looking at a fish and guessing.

The pBK-CMV vector allows you to express proteins in both E. coli and mammalian model systems and saves you valuable time by not having to subclone into an additional vector.  In mammalian cells, the expression is driven by the CMV promoter and is therefore constitutively expressed.  In E. coli, the lac promoter drives high-level expression in the presence of the inducer IPTG, and allows minimal expression in the absence of i…

The single-tube format of Gigapack III packaging extract simplifies the packaging procedure and increases the efficiency and representation of libraries constructed from highly methylated DNA. The ability of Gigapack III packaging extracts to preserve methylated DNA makes it ideal for use in epigenetic studies where DNA methylation may be associated with heritable changes in gene expression or cellular phenotype.

The Complete Control Inducible Mammalian Expression System is designed to provide the tightest control of expression available in mammalian cells. The system is based on a synthetic ecdysone-inducible receptor and a synthetic receptor recognition element that modulates expression of your gene of interest.  

The LacSwitch II inducible mammalian expression system utilizes an improved vector system in which several elements of the lac operon have been modified for use in eukaryotic cells for the control of gene expression.

Epitope-tagging technology provides you a powerful means to functionally analyze your protein of interest without the need for an antibody specific to each new protein under study. The pCMV-Tag vectors have a single copy of the available epitope tags, while the pCMV-3Tag vectors have three copies of the epitope tag (in a variety of configurations) to prove a stronger signal in immmunological assays.

The pSG5 Vector is a 4.1 Kb eukaryotic expression vector constructed by combining pKCR2 and the Stratagene pBS vector. The high copy number of this plasmid allows for large quantities of double-stranded DNA to be obtained. Expression in vivo is achieved via transient expression in a variety of cell lines (highest level of expression is obtained following transfection of a cell line expressing the T antigen).

StrataClean resin eliminates the need to perform phenol:chloroform extractions, which are highly toxic and combustible. The resin is a non-toxic, non-combustible slurry of hydroxylated silica particles that is used to clean up DNA or concentrate dilute protein mixtures.

The StrataClone Mammalian Expression Vectors were designed for high-level expression of epitope-tagged proteins in mammalian cells. Use of StrataClone technology for the cloning steps allows rapid cloning of blunt-ended PCR products, produced using high-fidelity PCR enzymes, into the epitope tagging/expression vectors.

Our Vitality hrGFP (humanized, Renilla reniformis green fluorescent protein) products are optimal for mammalian expression protein studies that examine gene expression, transfection efficiency, and protein localization. Since hrGFP is derived from a different organism than EGFP, the hrGFP antibody does not cross react with the Aequorea victoria GFP variant-derived EGFP.

Restriction Enzymes Dpn I is an ideal enzyme for cloning and Southern blot analysis High purity enzyme preparation Includes 10X universal reaction buffer Glogos II Autorad Markers Luminescent peel-off stickers used for accurately marking and aligning autoradiographs. Easily affixed to plastic wrap or paper, these convenient markers emit low-level luminescence rather than radioactivity, making the Glogos II m…

Our Mycoplasma Plus PCR Primer Set detects infection by all forms of Mycoplasma with a robust single-band PCR product (triplet for Acholeplasma). This kit also includes controls to verify PCR amplification and Mycoplasma genomic DNA. The primer design permits higher annealing temperatures, reducing spurious bands from PCR contaminants.

The MycoSensor PCR & QPCR Assay Kits detect Mycoplasma infection of cell cultures by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) or PCR in less than two hours.

Our SideStep lysis and Stabilization buffer ensures accurate gene expression studies by eliminating sample loss and degradation. Our proprietary buffer lyses cells and immediately stabilizes the released nucleic acid for months. Following the 10-minute room temperature lysis, you can go directly from cells to QPCR amplification without stopping to purify. 

pCMV-Script PCR cloning system is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cloning method that can be performed in 1-hour without adding bases to the primers. The kit permits the efficient cloning of PCR fragments with a high yield and a low rate of false positives.

Mx Pro QPCR software with FDA guideline 21 CFR Part 11 compatible features. Four key elements have been added to create the ET software version; secure application login, database file management, electronic audit trail, and report generation.  

The GeneMorph II Random Mutagenesis Kits have been formulated to produce a more uniform mutational spectrum when performing error prone PCR to achieve random mutagenesis. Other methods or commercially available kits that rely on Taq DNA polymerase for random mutagenesis have shown biases towards mutating A’s and T’s more frequently than G’s and C’s, which undoubtedly skews representation of random mutant libraries.

Determine if a gene product or compound activates pathways leading to specific enhancers with our PathDetect Cis-Reporting Systems.  When PathDetect cis-reporting and expression plasmids encoding your gene of interest are co-transfected into mammalian cells, increased reporter activity indicates transcription activation and involvement of your gene product in the pathway leading to the enhancer element  

Determine the direct or indirect involvement of new gene products, growth factors, and drug candidates in specific pathways with our PathDetect Trans-Reporting Systems.  Easily investigate whether your protein or compound influences the activation of any of the six transcription factors offered.  These systems are available as plasmid vectors with a luciferase reporter for co-transfection with your gene of interest into the c…
