Biotium Products & Reviews

Fluorescent dyes optimized for staining endospores. The dyes also stain both live and dead bacteria of gram-positive and gram-negative strains. In B. subtilis, the dyes stain both vegetative cells and endospores and have been validated for detection by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.

Unique hardset antifade that quenches lipofuscin autofluorescence. Choose with mounting medium with DAPI, far-red NucSpot® 640, or without nuclear stain.

A fluorescent dsDNA quantitation kit with a linear range of 2-2000 ng DNA. Designed for use in a fluorescence microplate reader.

Highly-selective dead cell stains for bacteria cultures. The stains are suitable for both gram-positive and gram-negative strains.

Cell surface staining kits with fluorescent membrane dye plus enhancer for imaging live cell surface for several hours to days.

Biotium’s hardset antifade mounting medium with NucSpot® 640 far-red nuclear counterstain.

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.

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.

A combination kit for dual extraction of DNA and RNA from a single FFPE sample, featuring proprietary CAT5™ technology.

LipidSpot™ dyes rapidly stain lipid droplets in live cells or fixed cells, with no wash step required. Available with green or red/far-red fluorescence.

Fluorescent WGA conjugates that are optimized for bright staining of extracellular vesicles for flow cytometry.

A luminescent dye designed for detecting proteins in SDS polyacrylamide (SDS-PAGE) gels. As sensitive as silver stain.

Wet-set antifade mounting medium for preserving fluorescence of our CF® dyes and other fluorochromes, in a dropper bottle for easy dispensing.

The CF® dye TUNEL Assay Apoptosis Detection Kit label apoptotic cells in fixed tissue sections or cellular samples for fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

Optimized and easy-to-use kit for extracting total RNA, including mRNA and miRNA, from purified EVs for downstream analysis in qPCR or RNAseq.

EvaGreen® Plus Dye has an improved signal-to-noise compared to original EvaGreen® dye, for higher sensitivity in DNA amplification applications.

A magnetic bead-based kit for superior RNA extraction from FFPE samples. Features proprietary technology for enhanced removal of formaldehyde-induced damage, providing RNA with higher yield and greater amplifiability.

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

A high-performance dye-based qPCR master mix containing EvaGreen® qPCR dye, Cheetah™ HotStart Taq Polymerase, and Forget-Me-Not™ tracking dye. With low or high ROX.

A lightweight, LED light box that offers bright and even illumination for developing gels stained with DNAzure® Blue Nucleic Acid Gel Stain.

A fluorescent dsDNA quantitation kit with a linear range of 2-1000 ng DNA. Designed for use with handheld fluorometers such as the Qubit® fluorometer from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Novel phalloidin conjugates of fluorescent dyes designed to preserve strong F-actin binding for bright, specific staining that remains stable for over a month.

AntiFix™ Universal Antigen Retrieval Buffer provides excellent heat unmasking for a wide variety of targets at neutral pH, reducing the need for buffer optimization.

GelGreen® is a sensitive, non-mutagenic and environmentally safer green fluorescent DNA gel stain.

Fluorescent CF® Dye tyramides are used for tyramide signal amplification (TSA) for increasing immunofluorescence sensitivity in multicolor immunocytochemistry (ICC), immunohistochemistry (IHC), or in situ hybridization (ISH).
