High-Throughput Extraction of DNA from FFPE Samples Robust, precipitation-free protocol, no chance of lost pellets High yields of pure DNA from FFPE samples without using xylene or other hazardous chemicals Ideal for use in downstream applications including qPCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS)

The Wizard MagneSil Tfx™ System provides a simple, rapid method for isolating transfection-quality plasmid DNA in a 96-well, high-throughput format. The use of paramagnetic particles for lysate clearing as well as DNA capture circumvents the need for centrifugation or vacuum manifolds, allowing DNA purification to be completely automated.

Isolate High-Molecular-Weight DNA for Long-Read-Sequencing applications.

LDH-Glo™ Cytotoxicity Assay detects cell death from a small number of cells, including 3D cell cultures, based on the release of lactate dehydrogenase.

The GSH/GSSG-Glo™ Assay is a bioluminescent assay to detect and quantitate total glutathione ratios.

The Caspase-Glo ® 1 Inflammasome Assay  directly measures inflammasome activation with a simple add-mix-measure protocol.

Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a mechanism of action of antibodies through which virus-infected or other diseased cells are targeted for destruntion by components of the cell-mediated.

ProteaseMax™ Surfactant is a high-quality reagent for use in protein and peptide sample preparation.   ProteaseMax™ Surfactant solubilizes proteins and ensures fast and improved protein digestion with trypsin or chymotrypsin. It is designed to degrade over the course of a digestion reaction, yielding products that are compatible with downstream methods such as mass spectrometry (MS) and liquid chromatography (LC). For…

The BVC family of fluid aspiration systems is a compact and easy-to-use solution for cell culture work. With its portable design as well as the option of adding a second hand controller, the BVC makes working in the lab more convenient. Built-in features like a 0.2 µm hydrophobic filter and optional quick couplings increase safety while managing potentially harmful fluids. BVCs provide the flexibility to accommodate your decon…

New line of standard and low-profile PCR plates for improved PCR efficiency.   Improve PCR efficiency with a new line of PCR plates manufactured with the best raw materials using the latest in production technologies. Standard and low profile PCR plates in clear and white are suitable for use in most thermal cyclers. These new plates combine extra-thin and uniform wall thickness with a rigid upper PP deck for easy handli…

All BRAND PCR products are available in white plastic, uniformly colored with titanium dioxide (TiO2) for optimal results when performing quantitative PCR (gPCR) with fluorescent signals.   BRAND microcentrifuge tubes fit most common rotors and may be spun up to 20,000 RCF (10,000 RCF for 0.5mL). Manufactured from virgin polypropylene, these highly translucent tubes are free from flash, air bubbles, and streaks. Caps are…

BRANDplates® inertGrade™ 96-well plates are especially suited for cell culture applications when adhesion is not desired. These plates are specifically designed for the cultivation of suspension, tumor, and stem cells, as well as other spheroid or 3-dimensional tissue culture models. They feature a surface that reduces cell adhesion and protein absorption to minimize enzyme and cellular activation. All BRANDplates® inertGra…

BRAND UV-Cuvettes are a popular disposable alternative to quartz spectrophotometry cuvettes. They are excellent for DNA, RNA, and protein analyses as well as many other applications between 230-900nm. BRAND UV-Cuvettes are a more convenient and economical choice than quartz cuvettes. They eliminate the risk of cross-contamination from reuse and the need for cuvette washing. The proprietary material offers chemical compatibi…
