Column-based method for rapid concentration and cleanup of RNA.

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 RealTime-Glo™ Annexin V Apoptosis and Necrosis Assay provides a no-wash, one-step Annexin V assay that allows continual monitoring of cell state to determine apoptotic onset using a plate-reading luminometer.

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.

The TNT® Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate Systems offer researchers an alternative for eukaryotic cell-free protein expression: a single-tube, coupled transcription/translation system. The TNT® Lysate Systems greatly simplify the process and reduce the time required to obtain in vitro translation results.

Wizard® Plus Megapreps DNA Purification System provides a simple and rapid method for large-scale purifications of plasmid DNA that eliminates the need for cesium chloride:ethidium bromide gradient centrifugation. Use of this system requires only a centrifuge, a vacuum source and a vacuum manifold. The system yields greater than one milligram of high-copy-number plasmid DNA (200–20,000bp) from a 1,000ml culture in less than th…

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 Quick Western Kit provides a universal detection reagent that can be combined with the primary antibody incubation step, eliminating the need for a secondary antibody incubation step.

IRDye 680RD is the near-infrared fluorescent dye of choice for applications in the 700 nm wavelength, especially Western blots, cell-based assays such as the In-Cell Western assay, and small animal imaging experiments.

Odyssey One-Color Protein Molecular Weight Markers fluoresce in the 700nm channel of any of the Odyssey Imaging Systems and contain ten protein bands of 10, 15, 20, 25, 37, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 250 kDa, with molecular weight shifts of 5% and minimal band broadening.

LICORbio Western Blotting Kits provide a convenient way to purchase reagents and membranes that are optimized for infrared fluorescence detection on the Odyssey infrared imaging systems.

IRDye QC-1 is the first non-fluorescent (dark) quencher, compatible with a wide range of visible and near-infrared fluorophores (~500 – 800 nm).

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.

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.

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.

NewBlot IR Stripping Buffer is ideal for stripping and reprobing nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes detected with IRDye ® secondary antibodies. It may also be suitable for other dye-conjugated secondary antibodies.
