Life Science & Clinical Instruments :: DNA Sequencing & Synthesis

Millipore's MEL cell lines advance human embryonic stem cell research
Millipore Corporation announces the availability of its MEL cell lines - licensed, low passage, human embryonic stem cells (hES) used in research for the treatment and potential cure of disabling and terminal diseases and conditions.

Applied Biosystems Reagent Kit improves DNA analysis
Applied Biosystems announces a new reagent kit designed to improve the workflow for DNA sequencing. The BigDye XTerminator Purification Kit addresses the often cumbersome purification or 'clean-up' step in the Sanger Sequencing workflow to produce higher quality DNA sequence data faster and with significantly fewer steps than other purification methods.

Applied Biosystems advances forensic science with commercial chemistry for analyzing degraded DNA
Applied Biosystems announces the world's first commercially available reagent kit for generating genetic profiles from aged, compromised, or damaged DNA samples.

Norgen Biotek Corp. launches 3 in-1 (RNA, DNA & Protein) Purification Kit from a single sample
Norgen Biotek Corp announces the expansion of its product offering by launching a powerful tool for the isolation of RNA/DNA/Proteins (3 in 1 kit) sequentially from the same sample.

New real-time PCR Film for raised-rim plates
Excel Scientific introduces a 50 µm Polyester Sealing Film designed for Real-Time PCR. ThermalSeal RT2RR is sized to fit within the edges of raised-rim 96-well plates. It has the consistent ultra-high optical clarity of Excels ThermalSeal RT films for more reproducible, reliable and consistent DNA amplification measurements.

Millipore announces protocol for the concentration of genomic DNA for forensic analysis
Millipore Corporation announces the availability of a faster protocol using Amicon® Ultra-4 100K NMWL centrifugal filter devices to concentrate human genomic DNA to be used in forensic analysis.

Norgen Biotek Corp.s RNA/DNA/Protein Purification Kit
Norgen Biotek Corp.'s RNA/DNA/Protein 3-in-1 Purification Kit will enable scientists to isolate RNA, genomic DNA and proteins simultaneously from a single sample using one column, without additional supplementary protocols or acetone precipitation of proteins. Scientists will not need to divide their initial sample or lysate and will efficiently obtain the three macromolecules in less than 30 minutes.

First commercially available immortalized human neural progenitor cell lines
Millipore Corporation announces the launch of the ReNcell product line, the only human immortalized neural somatic stem cell lines on the market today. The ReNcell products are a convenient solution for scientists needing reproducible results with neurons easily derived from human cells

New GE Healthcare Oligonucleotide Synthesizer is Highly Efficient at Small Scale
GE Healthcare has introduced the ÄKTA oligopilot plus, a new flexible, fully automated oligonucleotide synthesizer designed for use in research and process development laboratories and in oligonucleotide production facilities

Norgen Biotek Corp. Expands its Product Line by Offering Three Novel DNA
Norgen Biotek, a product-focused and innovative Canadian biotechnology company dedicated to developing powerful tools for nucleic acid and protein purification, today announced the expansion of its nucleic acid line of purification products by launching three new kits: the Milk Bacterial DNA Isolation Kit, the Saliva DNA Isolation Kit, and the Urine Bacteria DNA Isolation Kit.

Agilent Launches Next Generation of Microarrays for ChIP-on-Chip Analysis, Providing Six-fold Increase in Density
Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced the availability of oligo array-based ChIP-on-chip (chromatin immunoprecipitation on a chip) microarrays with a more than sixfold increase in density over previous offerings.

Protedyne Announces Ability to Integrate the LightCycler® 480 System for Real-Time PCR Assays in Life Science Research
Protedyne Corp., a leading designer of industrial automation, announced today that they have integrated their new Radius bench top robotic system with Roche Diagnostics LightCycler 480 Real-Time PCR System to create an automated high-throughput solution for real-time PCR assays.

Sigma-Aldrich Expands Lentiviral shRNA Gene Family Sets
Sigma-Aldrich, a leading $1.7 billion Life Science company and a member of The RNAi Consortium (TRC), is pleased to announce the expansion of shRNA gene family sets in lentiviral format for direct use in gene silencing.

Genewave Announces Commercial Launch of AmpliSlide, High-Sensitivity Microarray Slides
PALAISEAU, France, June 23, 2006 -- Genewave S.A.S. today announced the launch of the AmpliSlide product range, a new generation of revolutionary high-sensitivity reflective microarray slides

Electroporation of Nucleic Acids into Zebrafish Eggs and Embryos
Zebrafish are the perfect model for studying vertebrate development and genetics. Because the females lay large quantities of eggs, genetic analysis studies can be performed on embryos at different stages of development.

Two New GenomiPhi Kits enable simple and Rapid Genomic DNA Preparation
GE Healthcare has announced the availability of two new GenomiPhi products, the illustra GenomiPhi HY DNA Amplification Kit and the illustra GenomiPhi V2 DNA Amplification Kit designed to simplify and accelerate the process of genomic DNA preparation and enable large quantities of DNA to be produced from minimal starting materials.
