Agilent Mass Profiler Professional (MPP) software is a powerful chemometrics platform designed to exploit the high information content of MS data and can be used in any MS-based differential analysis to determine relationships among two or more sample groups and variables. 

The Agilent MassHunter METLIN Metabolomics Database and Library enable streamlined metabolite identification to facilitate understanding of global metabolic changes that can occur in a biological system. Available as a comprehensive database of metabolites (PCD) that optionally includes MS/MS spectra (PCDL).

The Agilent Protein 80 and Protein 230 kits provide a reliable way to assess protein concentration, identity, and purity. It eliminates handling of SDS-PAGE slab gels, staining or imaging steps.

The Agilent DNA Fish ID solution uses advanced software to achieve more accurate results – quickly and easily. Key to the process is the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and RFLP Decoder Software performs RFLP pattern matching, which eliminates the need for manual calling

The Affinity protein expression and purification system provides a simple, gentle and effective method for high-level protein expression and purification. The complete system includes pCAL expression vectors containing a calmodulin-binding peptide tag and calmodulin affinity resin.

BL21-CodonPlus strains are engineered to contain extra copies of genes that encode the tRNAs that most frequently limit translation of heterologous proteins in E. coli. They are ideal for difficult protein expression, especially when codon bias is a problem.

The pET E. coli expression system is a widely used in vivo bacterial expression system due to the strong selectivity of the bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase for its cognate promoter sequences, the high level of activity of the polymerase, and the high efficiency of translation mediated by the T7 gene.

The VariFlex protein expression system offers vectors with unique tags that enhance the utility of E. coli as an expression host. Included in our tag offering are three different SET tags which increase protein solubility and the SBP purification tag for high-yield, pure proteins.

Allows in vivo excision of cloned fragments in the phagemid vector Screening with both antibodies and nucleic acid probes Each premade library comes with necessary strains and helper phage  

This collection of competent cells provides customers with classic  E. coli  strains that have been engineered to become competent for use in cloning experiments.

The pBK-CMV vector allows you to express proteins in both E. coli and mammalian model systems and saves you valuable time by not having to subclone into an additional vector.  In mammalian cells, the expression is driven by the CMV promoter and is therefore constitutively expressed.  In E. coli, the lac promoter drives high-level expression in the presence of the inducer IPTG, and allows minimal expression in the absence of i…

The Complete Control Inducible Mammalian Expression System is designed to provide the tightest control of expression available in mammalian cells. The system is based on a synthetic ecdysone-inducible receptor and a synthetic receptor recognition element that modulates expression of your gene of interest.  

The LacSwitch II inducible mammalian expression system utilizes an improved vector system in which several elements of the lac operon have been modified for use in eukaryotic cells for the control of gene expression.

Epitope-tagging technology provides you a powerful means to functionally analyze your protein of interest without the need for an antibody specific to each new protein under study. The pCMV-Tag vectors have a single copy of the available epitope tags, while the pCMV-3Tag vectors have three copies of the epitope tag (in a variety of configurations) to prove a stronger signal in immmunological assays.

The pSG5 Vector is a 4.1 Kb eukaryotic expression vector constructed by combining pKCR2 and the Stratagene pBS vector. The high copy number of this plasmid allows for large quantities of double-stranded DNA to be obtained. Expression in vivo is achieved via transient expression in a variety of cell lines (highest level of expression is obtained following transfection of a cell line expressing the T antigen).

StrataClean resin eliminates the need to perform phenol:chloroform extractions, which are highly toxic and combustible. The resin is a non-toxic, non-combustible slurry of hydroxylated silica particles that is used to clean up DNA or concentrate dilute protein mixtures.

The StrataClone Mammalian Expression Vectors were designed for high-level expression of epitope-tagged proteins in mammalian cells. Use of StrataClone technology for the cloning steps allows rapid cloning of blunt-ended PCR products, produced using high-fidelity PCR enzymes, into the epitope tagging/expression vectors.

Our Vitality hrGFP (humanized, Renilla reniformis green fluorescent protein) products are optimal for mammalian expression protein studies that examine gene expression, transfection efficiency, and protein localization. Since hrGFP is derived from a different organism than EGFP, the hrGFP antibody does not cross react with the Aequorea victoria GFP variant-derived EGFP.

Our Mycoplasma Plus PCR Primer Set detects infection by all forms of Mycoplasma with a robust single-band PCR product (triplet for Acholeplasma). This kit also includes controls to verify PCR amplification and Mycoplasma genomic DNA. The primer design permits higher annealing temperatures, reducing spurious bands from PCR contaminants.

The MycoSensor PCR & QPCR Assay Kits detect Mycoplasma infection of cell cultures by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) or PCR in less than two hours.

Our SideStep lysis and Stabilization buffer ensures accurate gene expression studies by eliminating sample loss and degradation. Our proprietary buffer lyses cells and immediately stabilizes the released nucleic acid for months. Following the 10-minute room temperature lysis, you can go directly from cells to QPCR amplification without stopping to purify. 

pCMV-Script PCR cloning system is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cloning method that can be performed in 1-hour without adding bases to the primers. The kit permits the efficient cloning of PCR fragments with a high yield and a low rate of false positives.

The GeneMorph II Random Mutagenesis Kits have been formulated to produce a more uniform mutational spectrum when performing error prone PCR to achieve random mutagenesis. Other methods or commercially available kits that rely on Taq DNA polymerase for random mutagenesis have shown biases towards mutating A’s and T’s more frequently than G’s and C’s, which undoubtedly skews representation of random mutant libraries.

The GeneJammer Transfection Reagent is a proprietary formulation of novel polyamines ideal for transient or stable transfections in a wide variety of cell types. This transfection reagent is effective in both serum-containing medium and serum-free medium, offering high efficiencies with minimal cytotoxicity.
