The new Phenomenex guide includes useful tools and resources to help analysts select the most appropriate technique for any sample type

Scientists create reagents to simplify production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals 

To quantify nucleic acids, DNA, or RNA, scientists often use the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)

For cell-based assays, the imaging perspective can make a big difference in the results.

The number and types of cell-based assays (CBAs) are as diverse as a cell’s observable biochemical activity.

Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, announces the publication of a new sample preparation guide and selection tool to help scientists produce cleaner samples for more efficient chromatographic analysis.

The license enables SAGE Labs to use the CRISPR/Cas9 system to engineer cell and animal models for their clients as well as distribute validated CRISPR reagents.

Excessive background from endogenous sample matrix components has always been of great concern in bioanalysis, and has become paramount today with the need for decreasing analytical run times.

Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an important target for antibody-derived biopharmaceuticals, allowing the controlled targeting and destruction of tumor, virus-infected or other diseased cells. Promega’s ADCC Reporter Bioassayoffers a convenient way of assessing ADCC using frozen, thaw-and-use effector and target cells, eliminating the need for cell culture maintenance.

AFFINIMIP® SPE Patulin uses a new class of intelligent polymers based on molecularly imprinted polymers specific to Patulin ensuring extremely clean extracts for an easy quantification by all chromatography techniques.

Fluorescent western blotting is a powerful imaging technique which facilitates accurate protein quantification and multi-color analysis.  At Abcam, we listened to the demands of our customers, and generated high quality Alexa Fluor® 680/790 conjugated secondaries, to a large number of target species, for fluorescent western blotting.  As a result of this diversity and minimal spectral overlap of Alexa Fluor® 680 and 790, the reagents are ideal for multi-color analysis; furthermore customers can be reassured of the quality as Abcam publishes QC data for each individual product within the range.

Managing lab purchases and juggling finances are among the top priorities for lab managers, and as the world of research reagents continues to expand, they are faced with the growing challenge of cost-efficiently acquiring high-quality reagents for the lab.
