OxyBlot™ Protein Standard serves as an internal control for the electrophoresis, western trans…
Streptavidin isolated from Streptomyces avidinii covalently bound to agarose.
This kit allows for quick and reproducible immunoprecipitation (IP) by using a spin column. The system is more reproducible than regular IP's, which are problematic with regards to washing the protein A/G agarose without disrupting the agarose bed. The binding of the antibody/antigen complex in Catch and Release® is reversible, and elution of the immune complex can occur with native or denaturing buffers. The system has been…

Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic (bFGF) is a heparin binding growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells. bFGF also exerts a potent angiogenic activity in vivo. Human bFGF is a 17.2 kDa protein containing 154 amino acid residues. Xu, et al. demonstrated that bFGF synergizes with the BMP antagonist noggin to sustain undifferentiated proli…
The Mammalian Cell Transfection Kit is an optimized system suitable for the introduction of DNA into mammalian cells. DNA is introduced to the cells as a calcium phosphate precipitate. Transfected cells integrate and express the exogenous DNA at a higher efficiency, producing stable clones of the specifically altered genotype and phenotype. This system has been used to introduce various plasmids into a broad range of cell line…
Enzyme-Free Cell Dissociation Solution is a Hank's based formulation of chelating agents and agents to stabilize their activity on cells. This reagent does NOT contain porcine trypsin or any other protein. It works significantly faster than 0.5mM EDTA. In fact, it works as quickly as trypsin on most cells. Most importantly, it preserves the structural and functional integrity of cell surface proteins and does not have the cyto…
Enzyme-Free Cell Dissociation Solution is a PBS based formulation of chelating agents and agents to stabilize their activity on cells. It works significantly faster than 0.5mM EDTA. In fact, it works as quickly as trypsin on most cells. Most importantly, it preserves the structural and functional integrity of cell surface proteins and does not have the cytotoxic effects sometimes associated with 0.5 mM EDTA. It can be used to…
