Clinical Diagnostics Products & Reviews

Agilent X-gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside, BCIG) is a premium quality chromogenic substrate of β-Galactosidase. It is used with cloning systems that utilize β-galactosidase activity as an indicator of successful cloning.

The Paq5000 DNA polymerase is a robust Taq substitute that is derived from a Pyrococcus species. This enzyme provides equivalent and often better performance to endpoint Taq DNA polymerase amplification and can be substituted easily into many Taq-based procedures.  Robust, cost-effective alternative to Taq  Equal to better yield with faster cycling conditions  Amplify up to 6 kb genomic DNA targets  Easily substituted…

The TaqPlus Precision polymerase mixture is an optimized blend of Stratagene cloned Pfu DNA polymerase and Taq2000 DNA polymerase, a highly purified, recombinant version of Taq DNA polymerase. The TaqPlus Precision PCR system exhibits the highest replication accuracy achieved using DNA polymerase mixtures.

Easy-A Hi-Fi Cloning Enzyme & Master Mix combines the higher accuracy of a proofreading enzyme with the high cloning efficiency of Taq. PCR products amplified with the Easy-A can be cloned directly, without performing additional steps typically required when amplifying with proofreading polymerases.

The PCR grade deoxynucleotide mix includes 25 mM of each standard dNTP (GATC) for use with any PCR application, including real-time quantitative PCR. These reactions buffers contain the optimal magnesium concentration for efficient PCR.

Cartagenia Bench is variant assessment support software for clinical genetics and pathology labs. 

The Agilent Femto Pulse system delivers remarkable sizing and sensitivity to researchers.

For use with: Cytation 5, Lionheart FX, Cytation 1, Lionheart LX

High-throughput pipetting with the fully manual Rainin Liquidator™ 96- and 384-well benchtop pipettor.

Streck Urine Preserve is a ready-to-use liquid reagent that stabilizes nucleic acid targets in urine for up to 7 days at 6 °C to 37 °C to limit changes associated with sample handling, shipping and field collection.  

Streck Cell Preservative is an easy-to-use liquid preservative that maintains white blood cell integrity and allows CD markers to be measured through flow cytometric analysis. Streck Cell Preservative stabilizes peripheral and cord blood samples, surgical tissue samples, bone marrow and fine needle aspirates for up to 7 days prior to analysis by flow cytometry. 

CD-Chex CD117 Plus is a flow cytometry control that provides assay values for CD117, CD25 and CD71 on abnormal and total leukocytes. 

CD-Chex Select is a positive flow cytometry control for CD26, CD41, CD57, CD58, CD61, CD64, CD79a, FMC7, MPO, TCR α/β and TCR γ/δ expression.

CD-Chex TdT Plus is a positive procedural control that provides reference values for TdT, CD1a, CD2, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD34 and cytoplasmic CD3. This control contains several markers designated as “rare flow antigens” by CAP.  

RNA Complete BCT is a blood collection tube that maintains the draw time concentration of cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, for up to 7 days at room temperature.  

The Streck ARM-D kit, ampC is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of AmpC β-lactamase resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit allows you to detect over 200 ampC allelic variants in the clinically relevant resistance gene families, CMY02, DHA, ACC, EBC, FOX and MOX, and differentiate between plasmid-mediated and chromosomal AmpC β-lactamase resistance. 

The Streck ARM-D Kit, TEM/SHV/GES is a multiplex real-time PCR kit for the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance genes in Gram-negative bacteria. This comprehensive kit allows you to detect over 350 allelic variants in the TEM, SHV and GES extended-spectrum β-Lactamase gene families. 

PrimeStore MTM is designed to rapidly inactivate viruses (including Influenza), bacteria (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, MTB) and veterinary pathogens (ASFv, CSFv, FMDv, HPAI, and NDv) at point-of-collection and stabilize DNA and RNA during storage and shipping.

MDx-Chex for BCID2 is a first-of-its-kind quality control designed to evaluate the entire analytical process of the BIOFIRE ® Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) Panel for sepsis. With MDx-Chex for BCID2, you can track lot-to-lot performance of the BCID2 assay and reduce the occurrence of incorrect results due to instrument or assay failures. 

Nucleic Acid BCT is a direct draw venous whole blood collection device that maintains draw-time concentrations of cell-free DNA, cell-free RNA and extracellular vesicles for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature.?   Once isolated from stored plasma, cell-free DNA and cell-free RNA are suitable for many downstream applications.  Nucleic Acid BCT is currently available in a 5 mL volume. 10 mL volume is coming soon.
