GeneCopoeia HDR donor clones
25 July, 2016GeneCopoeia HDR donor clones and cloning vectors enable many CRISPR applications, such as precisely defined gene knockout, in-frame fusion tagging, transgene insertion and the introduction of base pair changes for mutagenesis or disease correction.
Environmental DNA monitoring to detect river pests
13 July, 2016Researchers have discovered that environmental DNA monitoring, a specialised technique that can detect DNA that fish release into their environment through skin cells or faeces, is even more effective than conventional monitoring techniques such as trapping.
Bio-Rad ddPCR CHO and E. coli Residual DNA Quantification Kits
13 July, 2016The ddPCR CHO Residual DNA Quantification Kit and ddPCR E. coli Residual DNA Quantification Kit allow for direct quantification of host-cell DNA impurities in biopharmaceuticals purified from bacteria (E. coli) or mammalian cells (Chinese hamster ovary) without the need for upfront nucleic acid purification steps.
GeneCopoeia miTarget miRNA 3′ UTR target clones
13 July, 2016miTarget miRNA 3′ UTR target clones from GeneCopoeia are designed for mammalian miRNA target identification and functional validation of predicted targets. Target clones are also used to study the regulatory effect of miRNA on target gene(s).
Abraxis AbraMag Magnetic Beads
11 July, 2016AbraMag Magnetic Beads from Abraxis are super-paramagnetic, non-aggregating iron oxide particles (or 'microspheres') for sample prep or for capturing/purifying targets such as proteins, antibodies, DNA/RNA and E. coli.
Programmable vaccines made from RNA
08 July, 2016Engineers from MIT have developed an easily customisable vaccine that can be manufactured in one week.
Cytocell Aquarius 1p36/1q25 and 19q13/19p13 Deletion Probe Kit
09 May, 2016The CE-IVD labelled Cytocell Aquarius 1p36/1q25 and 19q13/19p13 Deletion Probe Kit is a fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) kit for the investigation of glial tumours.
Omni Bead Mill Nucleic Acid Purification Kits
29 April, 2016Omni Bead Mill Nucleic Acid Purification Kits are suitable for use with the Omni BeadRuptor range of bead mill homogenisers in order to extract RNA or DNA from bacteria cells, fungal cells or tissues. The kits contain spin columns, capture columns, prefilled nuclease-free bead beating tubes and reagents.
Enzo DIG-labelled nucleotides
13 April, 2016Enzo's DIG-labelled nucleotides can be used to make low background nucleic acid probes which can be used downstream for a variety of molecular biology applications.
Rapid identification of CRISPR-Cas system PAMs
06 April, 2016CRISPR-Cas systems are the latest generation of genetic tools, but these tools require researchers to identify the protospacer-adjacent motifs (PAMs) that unlock each system's functionality.
Cancer detection with one drop of blood
27 November, 2015Researchers have developed an RNA test of blood platelets that can be used to detect cancer. By analysing a sample equivalent to one drop of blood, they were able to identify, classify and pinpoint the location of the cancer with impressive accuracy.
A mini DNA sequencer
20 October, 2015Oxford Nanopore Technologies has developed the MinION, a handheld device that works by detecting individual DNA bases that pass through a nanopore.
Promega multiplex assay approved by FBI
14 October, 2015Promega's PowerPlex Fusion 6C System has been granted approval by the FBI in the United States for use in laboratories that generate DNA records for the National DNA Index System (NDIS).
How well are you ageing?
11 September, 2015An international group of researchers has found a set of genes associated with 'healthy ageing' in 65-year-olds. The scientists say their study provides the first practical and accurate test for the rate at which individual bodies are ageing.
OGT Cytocell Aquarius Pathology FISH probes
29 July, 2015Oxford Gene Technology is extending its portfolio of Cytocell Aquarius Pathology FISH probes, with the addition of eight more probes for 1q25, 1p36, 19p13, 19q13, ROS1-GOPC and RET.
