Following a successful pilot effort in early 2012, Bio-Rad is proud to announce the official launch of the Bio-Rad Science Ambassador Program, which empowers scientists to engage directly with local schools to build student interest in the sciences and increase access to quality science education.

Bio-Rad’s innovative Gel Doc EZ imaging system features something unique that no other imaging system has – brains.

Bio-Rad introduces new Hard-Shell 96-well Semi-skirted low profile PCR plates for optimal performance with a variety of real-time PCR systems.

Bioradiations.com, the online technical resource for Bio-Rad customers, has been offering a variety of research tips and protocols, customer stories and testimonials, and in-depth technical reports throughout the year. Here are the highlights of what we presented in the year 2012.

Stability during thermal cycling and uniformity of wells are important features in any PCR plate for obtaining reliable results. Bio-Rad’s new Hard-Shell® plates are stable, prevent warping and shrinkage, and are designed for optimal thermal transfer and recovery of samples.

Learn how scientists in the Gene Regulation Laboratory at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) use the ChemiDoc MP imaging system in their work investigating the molecular machinery involved in epigenetic gene regulation.

Cell sorting is a complex and expensive process, with complicated steps requiring training. Bio-Rad’s new S3™ cell sorter is compact, easy to use, automated, affordable, and provides exceptional sort purity and yield results.

Large sample volumes may sometimes be needed to conduct gene expression studies. Bio-Rad’s new CFX96 Touch Deep Well™ real-time PCR detection system can run sample volumes up to 125 µl and can discriminate up to five targets simultaneously.

Verifying the performance of your real-time PCR system is crucial to obtaining reliable data from your experiments. Bio-Rad’s new CFX qualification plate comes with a quick and easy protocol that provides reliable performance verification of any real-time qPCR system.

The PX1 PCR Plate Sealer efficiently seals microplates used in thermal cycling. This heat sealing method consistently delivers reliable data by helping eliminate sample evaporation during PCR.
