Molecular cloning is a set of techniques that utilizes vectors to transfer recombinant DNA into host cells and is an essential tool for investigating the expression of genes and proteins in bacterial or mammalian cells. A variety of vectors optimized for gene cloning and expression in a range of host organisms are available, alongside competent cells for genetic replication. Here, you can explore a range of molecular tools, high-quality genomic and cDNA libraries, premade clones, transformation and transfection reagents and mutagenesis or gene expression detection assays and expression arrays.

pCMV-Script PCR cloning system is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cloning method that can be performed in 1-hour without adding bases to the primers. The kit permits the efficient cloning of PCR fragments with a high yield and a low rate of false positives.
The GeneMorph II Random Mutagenesis Kits have been formulated to produce a more uniform mutational spectrum when performing error prone PCR to achieve random mutagenesis. Other methods or commercially available kits that rely on Taq DNA polymerase for random mutagenesis have shown biases towards mutating A’s and T’s more frequently than G’s and C’s, which undoubtedly skews representation of random mutant libraries.
The GeneJammer Transfection Reagent is a proprietary formulation of novel polyamines ideal for transient or stable transfections in a wide variety of cell types. This transfection reagent is effective in both serum-containing medium and serum-free medium, offering high efficiencies with minimal cytotoxicity.
The LipoTAXI mammalian transfection reagent contains a unique, low-toxicity lipid formulation that has been tested with over 30 cell lines and has been shown to achieve high efficiency transfections with a wide variety of cells. Compared to CaPO4/DEAE-mediated transfection, it provides a 10-fold increase in transient transfection efficiency in many cell lines. This transfection reagent may be used with both adherent cells and…
The MBS Mammalian Transfection kit can increase your transfection efficiencies up to 100-fold. Cells are incubated with CaPO 4 /DNA coprecipitate for only 3 hours, versus 6 to 12 hours with traditional CaPO 4 methods. Additionally, cells can be assayed 12 to 24 hours post-transfection instead of the usual 48 to 72 hours.
The AAV Helper-Free System eliminates the requirement for wild-type adenovirus co-infection from both AAV vector production and AAV stock titering steps, making this system entirely helper virus-free and safer. This system works with a broad range of hosts and infects both dividing and non-dividing cells.
The AdEasy system saves you a month of work over traditional methods by producing the recombinant adenoviral plasmid by homologous recombination in E. coli. The AdEasy XL system includes BJ5183 cells pre-transformed with the pAdEasy-1 plasmid, this feature dramatically decreases background caused by the non-recombinant shuttle plasmid.
The ViraPort retroviral gene expression system is a comprehensive line of gene delivery products providing transduction efficiencies approaching 100% in a wide range of mitotic cells.
The pESC vectors are a series of epitope-tagging vectors for expression of eukaryotic genes in the yeast S. cerevisiae. Each vector contains GAL1 and GAL10 yeast promoters in opposing orientations. With these vectors you can introduce one or two cloned genes into a yeast host strain under the control of an inducible promoter.
Innova Biosciences, based on the Babraham Research Campus, Cambridge UK, has launched a family of assay reagents called PiColorLock™, to facilitate the measurement of the activity of phosphatases, ATPases and other Pi-generating enzymes in microplates. 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…
