The ONE-Glo™ + Tox Assay combines luciferase assay chemistry with a cell viability marker to better understand reporter gene expression in the context of cell health. The assay uses a two-step, addition-only process to make these measurements in a single well of a plate, negating the need to run parallel assays. The first part of the assay is a nonlytic fluorescence assay (CellTiter-Fluor™ Cell Viability Assay) that measure…

Brighter signal for earlier quantification of low and high copy RNA targets in a convenient 1-Step RT-qPCR format GoTaq® 1-Step RT-qPCR System is a reagent system that gives a brighter signal for earlier quantification of low and high copy RNA targets, using a one-step reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) protocol in a single tube format. The system incorporates BRYT Green® Fluorescent Dye, a novel dye…

The PowerPlex® Y23 System is a 23-loci, 5-color Y-STR multiplex designed for genotyping forensic casework samples, database samples and paternity samples.   The kit contains: all 12 loci in the current PowerPlex® Y System, the additional 5 loci found in AmpFlSTR® Y-filer®, plus 6 new loci.   PowerPlex® Y23 System Benefits: Reveal more Y-STR loci in excess female DNA Cut your amplification time roughly in ha…

The DNA IQ™ System is a DNA isolation system designed specifically for forensic and paternity laboratories. This system employs novel paramagnetic particles to isolate clean DNA for use with short tandem repeat (STR) analysis. The DNA IQ™ System can be used to extract DNA from a variety of sample types, including stains and liquid samples. Protocols for database samples and casework samples are available. The unique DNA IQ™…

The GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix is optimized for quantitative PCR assays in the hydrolysis probe detection format.   It is provided as a ready-to-use, stabilized 2X formulation that includes all components for qPCR (except template, primers and probe). This master mix does not contain a reference dye; however, a separate tube of carboxy-X-rhodamine (CXR) reference dye is included with this system, allowing users to add…

The GoTaq® Probe 2-Step RT-qPCR System is optimized for quantitative PCR assays in the hydrolysis probe detection format. The system protocol facilitates detection and relative quantification of RNA expression levels via a two-step RT-qPCR method using integrated components: • GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System • GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix The GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System includes an optimized reaction b…

Magne™ Protein G and Magne™ Protein A Beads are magnetic affinity beads with high specificity and high capacity for purification of immunoglobulins from cell culture media, ascites and serum samples.   These paramagnetic beads are composed of iron encapsulated in macroporous cellulose with low nonspecific binding. The magnetic beads use a novel attachment chemistry to immobilize recombinant Protein G or Protein A protein…

The MethylEdge™ System provides an efficient method to rapidly perform bisulfite conversion with minimal DNA fragmentation, giving you more intact, converted DNA for downstream applications.   Start with as little as 100pg of input DNA for those precious, limited samples. Use the MethylEdge™ System with other DNA Methylation Workflow reagents to perform sensitive DNA methylation analysis on many sample types. The rapi…

The BVC family of fluid aspiration systems is a compact and easy-to-use solution for cell culture work. With its portable design as well as the option of adding a second hand controller, the BVC makes working in the lab more convenient. Built-in features like a 0.2 µm hydrophobic filter and optional quick couplings increase safety while managing potentially harmful fluids. BVCs provide the flexibility to accommodate your decon…

If there is DNA to detect, the Plexor® HY System will show it. Total human DNA. Total male DNA. The power to see it all in a single assay.   The Plexor® HY System is a real-time PCR assay to determine the concentration of total human DNA and male human DNA simultaneously in one reaction. The kit contains an internal PCR control (IPC) to test for false-negative results that may occur in the presence of PCR inhibitors…
