The CellTag™ 700 Stain ICW (In-Cell Western™) Kits provide detection reagents for cell-based In-Cell Western Assays.

The Odyssey® Infrared EMSA Kit coupled with IRDye® 700 EMSA oligonucleotides is an excellent alternative method to radioisotopic and chemiluminescent detection methods for EMSA analysis and visualization. Using IRDye EMSA reagents, assays can be completed in less than two hours with no gel transfer or film exposure.

A DNA oligonucleotide end-labeled with IRDye 700 infrared dye is a good substrate for protein binding. Using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System, IRDye infrared dye labeled DNA detection is linear within a 50-fold dilution range from 9.1 fmol to 0.18 fmol.

IRDye® Click Chemistry reagents (DBCO, Alkyne, and Azide) offer convenient, versatile and reliable methods for biomolecule labeling. With a variety of in vitro and in vivo applications, from biomarker isolation to assay development.

IRDye Infrared Dyes and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging deliver enhanced sensitivity due to low background autofluorescence in the near-infrared region, therefore, giving a higher signal to noise ratios.

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…

WesternSure chemiluminescent reagents offer the best performance available when compared to other competitive products on the market.

When performing two-color detection, loading controls and normalization are essential for reliable, precise comparison of protein levels. LICORbio offers primary antibodies for normalization that can be used for two-color normalization when performing multiplex Western blots or for cell-based assay normalization.

A low-background membrane is essential for infrared Western blot success. Background can be attributed to membrane autofluorescence or to detection of antibody non-specifically binding to the membrane. PVDF membranes included in LICORbio kits are screened to ensure low autofluorescence to ensure high signal to noise.

Innovative cell culture plates and inserts for co-culture, migration/invasion assays, 3D tissue preparation and more.   The BRANDplates Insert System, co-developed with the Fraunhofer Society, offers an innovative expansion of the BRAND cell culture product line. The new Insert system consists of 24-well standard and 6-well specialized plates and strips of hanging cell culture inserts for applications such as co-culture,…

WesternSure ECL Stripping Buffer provides a robust solution for stripping primary and secondary antibodies from Western blot membranes while maintaining target antigen integrity for efficient reprobing.

Adaptable Microplate Solution for Custom ELISA Applications. BRANDplates® Strip Plates are especially suited for laboratories designing custom ELISA applications, or desiring increased flexibility in their ELISA application. To ensure the effective binding of a wide range of antigens or antibodies to the microplate surface, the strip plates are available in two treatment types: pureGrade™ or immunoGrade™. The pureGrade™ plate…

CellTag 700 Stain is a near-infrared fluorescent, non-specific cell stain that provides accurate normalization to cell number for In-Cell Western™ Assay applications. The stain accumulates in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of permeabilized cells, and provides linear fluorescent signal across a wide range of cell types and cell numbers.

Chameleon®  Pre-Stained Protein Ladders offer easy visualization of gel migration and protein size, and can be used to orient your gel or membrane quickly. These versatile protein markers offer multi-colored, pre-stained proteins for both visual inspection and two-color near-infrared detection. Choose from either single-channel or two-channel detection.

High quality PCR products for improved PCR efficiency.

The WesternSure Protein Ladder is the only pre-stained, multi-colored protein ladder that provides chemiluminescent signal for film and digital detection. It will fit with your current protocol without optimization and does not rely on strep-tagged HRP or secondary antibody binding. The WesternSure protein ladder works with a variety of substrates and provides a vibrant color scheme that allows you to quickly orient your membr…

The D-DiGit Gel Scanner offers complete nucleic acid gel analysis documentation without the hazards. Minimize exposure to hazards like UV light and ethidium bromide when image nucleic acid gels.

4X Protein Sample Loading Buffer is optimized for use as a loading buffer for protein gel electrophoresis. This orange loading buffer is recommended for use with Odyssey® Imaging Systems as it does not fluoresce in the 700 channel.

Chameleon Vue Pre-stained Protein Ladder offers multi-colored, pre-stained proteins for molecular weight estimation

Chameleon Duo Pre-stained Protein Ladder provides multi-colored, pre-stained bands for visual inspection and two-color near-infrared detection. It includes 11 protein bands from 8 to 260 kDa.

IRDye Labeling Kits come in 3 forms and allow you to label your own peptides, antibodies, or proteins.
