C-peptide is a byproduct of normal insulin production by the beta cells in the pancreas and correlates directly to endogenous concentrations of insulin.

Insulin, a 5.8 kD hormone is secreted by the islet beta cells in the pancreas.

Leptin is synthesized in adipocytes as a 16kD molecule and the circulating level is directly proportional to the total amount of fat in the body.

Peptide YY (PYY), a novel 36 amino-acid amidated hormone is a component of the complex neuroendocrine control process.

Insulin, a 5.8 kDa hormone is secreted by the islet beta cells in the pancreas. This kit offers sensitive assay for rat/mouse insulin

Unlike the traditional "Malachite Green" method, which is prone to precipitation problems, PiColorLock reagent is specially formulated to give a stable end-point signal, meani…

ColorKits are designed to facilitate the measurement of the activity of phosphatases, ATPases and other Pi-generating enzynes in microplate assays. Each Kit contains a phosphorylated substrate for a particular class of enzyme, together with a carefully optimised PiColorLock detection reagent, Pi standard, 2x96-well plates and a selection of buffer concentrates for optimisation of assay conditions with the enzyme of interest.…

PiColorLock Drug Discovery Kits are designed to facilitate the measurement of the activity of potential inhibitors of phosphatases, ATPases and other Pi-generating enzymes in microplates. The Kits combine a purified recombinant human enzyme target, phosphorylated substrate, Pi standard and 2 multiwell plates. Each Kit is also supplied with a carefully optimised PiColorLock detection reagent and a selection of buffer concentr…

The Agilent SideStep II Lysis and Stabilization Buffer uses a single-tube, solution-based format, rather than a column-based format. The patent-pending solution lyses cells in minutes and releases both RNA and DNA molecules into the solution. This immediately stabilizes nucleic acids without further processing required.

The SideStep mRNA Enrichment Kit offers fast and efficient delivery of mRNA directly from cells without purifying total RNA. Save time and money with intuitive 30-minute methods for research applications. 

Our SideStep Lysis and Stabilization Buffer ensures accurate gene expression analysis by eliminating sample loss and degradation. The proprietary buffer lyses cells and immediately stabilizes the released nucleic acid for months. Several formats are available to enhance research versatility.

Our single-stranded DNA binding standard is a helix-destabilizing E. coli protein. The 75.6-kD protein is essential for replication, recombination, and repair processes.

The Mammalian Two-Hybrid Assay Kit is a powerful method for detecting protein-protein interactions in vivo in mammalian cells. The two-hybrid assay kit utilizes hybrid genes to detect protein-protein interactions via the activation of reporter-gene expression.  Detects protein-protein interactions in mammalian cells  Works well in a variety of mammalian cell lines  Confirms suspected interactions between two proteins or i…
