New Roche LightCycler 480 Hard-Shell® Plate That Does Not Warp During Thermal Cycling
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.
Bio-Rad’s New S3™ Cell Sorter Automates and Simplifies Cell Sorting
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.
New CFX96 Touch™ Deep Well Real-Time PCR Instrument Enables Large-Volume qPCR Reactions
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.
PrimePCR™ Pathway Analysis: Pathway Curation and Real-Time PCR Panel Design Strategy
Pathway analysis is an efficient approach for studying a large number of related gene targets in a single experiment. Bio-Rad Laboratories and Thomson Reuters, a leading provider of system biology tools, have partnered to provide predesigned pathway panels for gene expression analyses using real-time qPCR. This tech report describes how Bio-Rad’s PrimePCR™ pathway panels were curated and designed using a ranking strategy developed by Thomson Reuters.
TGX Stain-Free™ Precast Gels Facilitate LDL Research on Potential New Drug Targets
When Dr. Fred Bauzon started his research, he worked with bioinformatics specialists to functionalize suitable gene candidates based on their expression levels with HMGCR transcript levels. All his experiments demonstrated a reduction in low-density lipoprotein receptor protein (LDLR) and candidate gene protein levels after the candidate gene was silenced. Here Bauzon discusses how TGX Stain-free precast gels have aided his research toward future drug targets for the therapeutic control of LDL uptake.
New TC20™ Automated Cell Counter Facilitates Quick Counting with Precision
Bio-Rad’s new TC20 automated cell counter is compatible with broad range of cell sizes and types such as cell lines, primary cells (from tissue or blood), and stem cells.
