QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) is a sample extraction and clean-up technique used for the analysis of multiple pesticide residues in agricultural products. UCT manufactures a wide variety of pre-filled tubes and reagent pouches for all QuEChERS method variations including PSA, C18, buffers, anh. MgSO4, NaCl, ChloroFiltr, and carbon.

The FASt Well Plate is a novel approach to improved sample preparation for LC/MS analysis. The well plate employs a one step process to prepare urine samples for analysis of multiple drugs and metabolites. By quickly and efficiently reducing the amount of unwanted matrix and particulates in the final sample, the analysis can proceed with less chance of matrix suppression and LC column clogging.

High purity, Type B, spherical silica support. 100A pore size. 1.8um, 3um, & 5um partical sizes. Variety of stationary phases.

The QuantiFluor® dsDNA System contains a fluorescent DNA-binding dye that enables sensitive quantitation of small amounts of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in solution.   The quantitation of dsDNA is a very important step in many biological applications, particularly in standard molecular biology techniques. The dye shows minimal binding to single stranded DNA (ssDNA) and RNA, allowing specific quantitation of dsDNA. The…

GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix is a new reagent system for use in real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). The system contains BRYT™ Green, a new proprietary fluorescent DNA binding dye that exhibits greater fluorescence enhancement upon binding to double-stranded DNA than SYBR® Green I. Combined with the GoTaq® Hot Start Polymerase, optimized buffer and proprietary dye, GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix provides robust real-time PCR with increased re…

The GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System includes a reverse transcriptase and a specialized set of reagents for efficient synthesis of first-strand cDNA optimized for quantitative PCR amplification. GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase uses M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase and state-of-the-art buffer technology to deliver robust, reliable cDNA synthesis of a full range of rare and abundant transcripts, even in the presence of inhibit…

TSKgel Amide-80 and TSKgel NH2-100 HILIC columns from Tosoh Bioscience are first class columns when it comes to separations of hydrophilic compounds like peptides, carbohydrates, polar natural substances, amino acids, oligonucleotides, organic polar acids and bases, even proteins.

HPLC column

Widely considered the premium columns for analyzing biopolymers by GFC, TSKgel G2000SWXL, 5 μm columns are an excellent choice for small proteins and peptide separations.

The TSKgel Alpha-4000 column is packed with rigid, porous polymer beads which show minimal shrinkage or swelling in polar organic solvents (methanol, acetonitrile, DMSO, isopropanol, THF, and HFIP). This column is stable in a wide variety of organic solvents at concentrations up to 100%.

The TSKgel OligoDNA RP and TSKgel TMS-250 columns incorporate 5 μm or 10 μm spherical porous silica with 250Å pores to allow unhindered access by large oligonucleotides and proteins respectively.

TSKgel STAT columns were designed to increase throughput for high efficiency separations of biomolecules. The nonporous, hydrophilic base material provides superior performance at reduced analysis time.

The Golden Gate® is a robust option for demanding single-reflection ATR applications. It features a brazed diamond ATR crystal and a signature “Golden Gate” sample loading bridge. More advanced top-plate assemblies are available for in-situ, high- and low-temperature work.

The Specac Manual Hydraulic Press is available in 15 and 25 ton load configurations for a wide variety of laboratory pressing applications. It is ideally suited to the manufacture of KBr pellets for FTIR spectroscopy as well as sample pellets and targets for other spectroscopic techniques such as XRF, Terahertz, and laser ablation spectroscopy.

Specac’s Gateway™ ATR Accessory Kit is an economical multi-reflection horizontal ZnSe ATR accessory. With high-performance transfer optics and anti-reflection coated ZnSe crystals as standard, high optical throughput is achieved to facilitate an excellent standard of FTIR ATR spectral data.
