Products & Reviews

Thermo Scientific Exonuclease I digests single-stranded DNA 3' to 5' (requires Mg2+ and a free 3'-OH). The nuclease is inactivated by heating at 80°C for 15 minutes.

Thermo Scientific Shrimp Nuclease is an endonuclease that cleaves phosphodiester linkages in DNA to yield di- and oligonucleotides with 5’-phosphate and 3’-hydroxyl termini. The enzyme has a high preference for double-stranded DNA, and can be used to selectively degrade dsDNA, leaving ssDNA and RNA intact. The enzyme is inactivated after 15 minutes at 65 °C.

Thermo Scientific RNase A (ribonuclease A) is supplied as a chromatographically pure freeze-dried powder, salt-free for easy reconstitution in most buffers.

Thermo Scientific Ribonuclease H (RNase H) is an endonuclease that degrades the RNA portion of DNA-RNA hybrids. It hydrolyses phosphodiester bonds of RNA in RNA:DNA heteroduplexes. It produces products with 3’-OH and 5’-phosphate. RNase H will not degrade single or double-stranded DNA or RNA.

Thermo Scientific Shrimp Alkaline Phosphatase (SAP) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of 5´ phosphates from DNA and RNA and is completely and irreversibly inactivated by heating at 65°C for 15 minutes. SAP is active on 5´ overhangs, 5´ recessed and blunt ends.

Thermo Scientific X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoyl-ß-D-galactopyranoside) is a chromogenic substrate used to identify recombinant plasmids. In the presence of X-Gal and IPTG, lac+ bacterial colonies appear blue, whereas recombinant colonies appear white.

Thermo Scientific PCR reagents meet high quality standards to generate accurate results from even the most challenging molecular biology applications. Random Decamers are truly random oligo deoxyribonucleotides that can be used to create a pool of cDNAs for subsequent applications, thus providing maximum flexibility.

Thermo Scientific Random Hexamers are truly random oligo deoxyribonucleotides. Hexamers are ideal primers for mRNA with or without a poly-A tail. Hexamers bind more often than decamers, giving higher yields and increased sensitivity when amplifying short fragments.

Thermo Scientific PCR reagents meet high quality standards to generate accurate results from even the most challenging molecular biology applications. Magnesium ions (Mg2+) are an important component of PCR reactions where they interact with the DNA template, dNTPs, and Taq DNA Polymerase.

The kit includes the High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA and the PowerSYBR® Green PCR Master Mix. The High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA Kit is used to first reverse transcribe RNA into cDNA and the resulting cDNA is then quantitated using the PowerSYBR® Green PCR Master Mix for…

Ambion Anti-miR™ miRNA Inhibitors are chemically-modified, single-stranded nucleic acids designed to specifically bind to and inhibit endogenous miRNA molecules. These ready-to-use inhibitors can be introduced into cells using transfection or electroporation parameters similar to those used for siRNAs, and enable detailed study of miRNA biological effects.

Ambion Pre-miR™ miRNA Precursor Molecules are small, chemically-modified double-stranded RNA molecules designed to mimic endogenous mature miRNA molecules. These ready-to-use miRNA mimics, which are similar to but not identical to siRNAs, can be introduced into cells using transfection or electroporation parameters identical to those used for siRNAs and enable detailed study of miRNA biological effects via gain-of-function e…

Silencer Pre-Designed siRNAs are Ambion-designed siRNAs available for all human, mouse, and rat gene targets in the RefSeq database. These siRNAs are designed for maximum potency and specificity using a highly effective and extensively tested algorithm. Each siRNA is synthesized to the highest quality standards and is provided with full sequence information. Silencer Validated siRNAs are Ambion-designed siRNAs that have been…

Ambion Silencer Select Pre-Designed and Validated siRNAs incorporate the latest improvements in siRNA design, off-target effect prediction algorithms, and chemical modifications to yield siRNA with unrivaled efficacy, potency, and specificity. The result is fewer failed experiments due to poor silencing, and cleaner, more consistent phenotypic data.

Ambion Silencer® In Vivo Ready siRNAs undergo the additional purification and testing necessary for introduction of siRNA into animals. After HPLC purification and annealing, each siRNA is dialyzed to remove salt, sterile filtered, and endotoxin tested. All Silencer Pre-Designed and Validated siRNAs are available in this format, as are Custom Synthesized siRNAs.

Abmion Validated GAPDH Positive Control siRNA and non-targeting Negative Control siRNAs are available for human, mouse and rat with the same chemical modifications for enhanced efficacy as in other Ambion Silencer Select siRNAs.

For the first time, you can obtain the benefits of Ambion Silencer Select siRNAs in a convenient 96- or 384-well plate format, plated to your specifications. These siRNA collections enable medium- and high-throughput analysis of phenotypes resulting from inhibition of sets of targets from specific functional classes or your favorite list of targets.

Silencer siRNA Libraries are sets of Ambion-designed siRNAs targeting all of the genes in a genome or a particular gene class, making them ideal for pathway analysis and target identification/validation. Most libraries include three individual siRNAs per gene for enhanced data reliability. Full sequence information is provided with each library.

Applied Biosystems currently offers five TaqMan Copy Number Assays to detect copy number variation. Copy number is an important polymorphism in the human genome associated with genetic diseases such as cancer, immune diseases, and neurological disorders. TaqMan Copy Number Assays were designed to detect CYP2D6, CYP2A6, CYP2E1, GSTT1, and GSTM1.
