Cell membrane-impermeant, nuclear-specific counterstains. Suitable for fixed cells or staining dead cells in live cultures. Available in a variety of colors from green to near-infrared (near-IR).

GelRed ® is an ultra sensitive, extremely stable and environmentally safe fluorescent nucleic acid dye designed to replace the highly toxic ethidium bromide (EB) for staining dsDNA, ssDNA or RNA in agarose gels or polyacrylamide gels. GelRed ® is far more sensitive than EB without requiring a destaining step.

A laser diode-based gel illuminator for visualizing fluorescent nucleic acid and protein gels. Avoids UV light hazards and offers exceptional performance for widely used green and red dyes.

A qPCR master mix containing Evagreen qPCR dye and Cheetah™ Taq hotstart DNA polymerase, suitable for qPCR using a fast cycling protocol.                  

Superior RNA extraction from FFPE (paraffin) tissue sections with 3 to 30-fold increase in yield, and 2-fold increase in DV200 (RNA longer than 200 nucleotides) compared to other methods.

Superior DNA extraction from FFPE samples, due to the enhanced removal of formaldehyde-induced damage, providing DNA with higher yield and quality and greater amplifiability.

Label your antibody with one of our superior CF ®  Dyes in 15 minutes without a purification step. Labeling tolerates many common buffer components including BSA and ascites.

This unique reagent quenches lipofuscin autofluorescence in tissue sections for immunofluorescence staining and can also help to reduce autofluorescence from other sources like extracellular matrix.

Buffer system optimized for fluorescence-based western provides superior specificity, sensitivity, and background suppression.

A buffer set that blocks non-specific antibody binding as well as direct interaction of fluorescent dyes on antibodies with cells or tissue sections.

A visible, blue protein gel staining solution. Fast protein staining in a single step without fixation or washing.

Sensitive and easy-to-use RNA prestain loading dye allows RNA to be evaluated on a regular agarose gel.
