Commonly used for the solid phase extraction of analytes from complex sample matrices.  A variety of functional groups, such as octadecyl (C18) and octyl (C8) can be bonded to the silica surface to provide non polar interactions.  Each of these sorbents exhibits unique properties of retention and selectivity for a particular analyte.  The choice of which sorbent is best for a particular method will be influenced by the percent…

Thermo Scientific PCR reagents meet high quality standards to generate accurate results from even the most challenging molecular biology applications. Random Decamers are truly random oligo deoxyribonucleotides that can be used to create a pool of cDNAs for subsequent applications, thus providing maximum flexibility.

Thermo Scientific Random Hexamers are truly random oligo deoxyribonucleotides. Hexamers are ideal primers for mRNA with or without a poly-A tail. Hexamers bind more often than decamers, giving higher yields and increased sensitivity when amplifying short fragments.
