Trypsin is a serine protease that specifically cleaves at the carboxylic side of lysine and arginine residues.   The stringent specificity of trypsin is essential for protein identification. Native trypsin is subject to autolysis, generating pseudotrypsin, which exhibits a broadened specificity including a chymotrypsin-like activity. Such autolysis products, present in a trypsin preparation, would result in addition…

The LigaFast™ Rapid DNA Ligation System is designed for the efficient ligation of sticky-ended DNA inserts into plasmid vectors in just 5 minutes (blunt-ended inserts in as little as 15 minutes).   Rapid ligation is based on the combination of T4 DNA Ligase with a unique 2X Rapid Ligation Buffer to speed up and streamline your cloning experiments. The LigaFast™ System is designed to eliminate any further purification pri…

The ReliaPrep™ RNA Miniprep Systems provide a fast and simple technique for preparation of intact total RNA from cultured cells or tissue in as little as 30 minutes.   The proprietary column/binding matrix can efficiently capture RNA from very small amounts of input material, isolating RNA eluted in a minimal volume (less than 15µl). Using this membrane-based purification system, from 100 to 5 × 106 cultured cells or fro…

The Wizard® SV Gel and PCR Clean-Up System is designed to extract and purify DNA fragments of 100bp to 10kb from standard or low-melting agarose gels or to purify products directly from PCR and other common reactions such as restriction digests.   Up to 95% recovery is achieved depending upon the DNA fragment size. PCR products are commonly purified to remove excess nucleotides and primers. This membrane-based system, wh…

The PureYield™ Plasmid Miniprep System is designed to rapidly isolate highly pure plasmid DNA.   The system provides a rapid method for purification of up to 15μg of plasmid DNA from 600μl to 3ml of bacteria culture. Plasmid DNA can be purified in as little as 10 minutes. The PureYield™ Plasmid Miniprep System incorporates a unique Endotoxin Removal Wash designed to remove substantial amounts of protein, RNA and endotoxi…

This instrument provides…

ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay is a luminescent kinase assay that measures ADP formed from a kinase reaction; ADP is converted into ATP, which is converted into light by Ultra-Glo™ Luciferase.   The luminescent signal positively correlates with kinase activity. The assay is well suited for measuring the effects chemical compounds have on the activity of a broad range of purified kinases, making it ideal for both primary scre…

The Maxwell® 16 LEV simplyRNA Kits are for use with the Maxwell® 16 Instrument configured with the LEV High Strength Magnetic Rod and Plunger Bar Adaptor.   This RNA purification procedure is a simple method with minimal lysate handling before automated purification on the Maxwell® 16 Instrument. The low elution volume is used to generate concentrated high-quality RNA suitable for use in downstream applications such…

BRAND PCR tube strips are manufactured from high-quality virgin plastics for excellent, reproducible results in most PCR applications. These tube strips are manufactured without lubricants or chemical additives that can contaminate reagents and samples. The tube strips feature thin, uniform walls to ensure consistent, precise thermal transfer for excellent results. PCR tubes and plates from BRAND are compatible with most…

The mass spectrometry-compatible yeast and human protein extracts are designed specifically for mass spectrometry applications.   The extracts are predigested and cleaned up by solid-phase extraction for immediate use in liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis. Both the yeast and human extracts also are available in an intact undigested form to provide a test material for optimizing mass spec protei…

NanoLuc® Binary Technology (NanoBiT) is a two-subunit system based on NanoLuc® luciferase that can be applied to the intracellular detection of protein:protein interactions (PPIs) in live cells. The NanoBiT® system is composed of two small subunits, Large BiT (LgBiT; 18kDa) and Small BiT (SmBiT; 11 amino acid peptide), that are expressed as fusions to target proteins of interest. The LgBiT and SmBiT subunits have been independ…

The CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay(a,b) is a homogeneous method of determining the number of viable cells in culture based on quantitation of the ATP present, an indicator of metabolically active cells. The CellTiter-Glo® Assay is designed for use with multiwell formats, making it ideal for automated high-throughput screening (HTS), cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. The homogeneous assay procedure in…

The CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 Assay provides a homogeneous method for determining the number of viable cells in culture by measuring the amount of ATP present, which indicates the presence of metabolically active cells. The CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 Assay is based on the original CellTiter-Glo® Assay chemistry but with improved storage convenience for easy implementation. The CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 Assay is provided as a single, ready-to-use re…

The Lactate-Glo™ Assay is a bioluminescent assay for rapid, selective and sensitive detection of L-lactate in biological samples. Lactate is produced by glycolysis, a major metabolic pathway responsible for glucose homeostasis and energy production (1,2).
