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…

ViaFect™ Transfection Reagent allows high-efficiency transfection of a wide range of cell types, including iPS Cells, without compromising cell viability.   ViaFect™ Transfection Reagent enables the design of biologically relevant assays in workhorse adherent cell models, suspension cells important for studying cell signaling, and even differentiated cell lines derived from stem cells. ViaFect™ Transfection Reagent offer…

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 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…

The GloMax® Explorer System is the newest member of the GloMax® System detection instruments. This multimode reader allows you to get up and running quickly, generating the data you need from your experiments. Simply unpack it, plug it in, and begin your experiments.

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…
