TotalScript™ RNA-Seq kits, supplied by Cambio, create libraries from 5 ng total RNA

 (in: New Laboratory Products)
Jun 20, 2013

Supplied in the UK by Cambio and produced by Epicentre® (an Illumina company), the TotalScript™ RNA-Seq kit is a low-input library preparation kit. 

TotalScript RNA Seq kit

This kit enables researchers to quickly create high complexity RNA-seq libraries from as little as 1 – 5 ng of intact total RNA, without the need for ribosome RNA removal or Poly(A) encrichment. The rapid, 5-hour procedure dramatically reduces the amount of time spent creating sample libraries, and the flexible protocol can be adapted to match researchers’ desired rRNA content and transcript coverage...
 

“Two-in-One” Transilluminator Provides Both Ultraviolet and White Light Illumination

 (in: New Laboratory Products)
Jun 20, 2013

The advanced Spectroline® Bi-O-Vision™ Series transilluminators feature two workstations, producing both 312nm ultraviolet and white light.

TVD-1000R TransilluminatorThe TD-1000R model offers fixed-intensity while the TVD-1000R model offers variable-intensity control of either UV or white light. These units are continuously adjustable from 100% down to 50%. This enables life science researchers to select medium wavelength ultraviolet or white light illumination to view fluorescent gels or visible blots...
 

SPE Method for Production of High Quality RNA

 (in: Laboratory News)
Jun 19, 2013

INTEGRA has released a new video demonstrating a solid phase extraction (SPE) microplate method for reproducible, high throughput isolation of high-quality DNA-free total RNA.

VIAFLO 384Large scale gene expression screening projects require reliable high-throughput methods to isolate high quality RNA from a large number of samples. To meet this need, a growing number of commercial 96-well format RNA isolation kits are now available. Typically such kits are compatible with commonly used 96-well plate vacuum manifolds enabling the extraction (isolation) procedure to be accelerated...
 

Chromatrap® enriches epigenetic marks from primary cells

 (in: Articles & Application Notes)
Jun 19, 2013

A new application note from Porvair Sciences details a protocol for its Chromatrap® ChIP assay kit that has been developed to enrich epigenetic marks from primary human tissue cells.

Chromatrap

Chromatrap® Pro-A, the novel solid-based matrix for chromatin immunoprecipitation assays (ChIP) has been successfully used for isolation of high quality chromatin from difficult biopsy material. Focusing on an application to precipitate epigenetic marks from primary endometrial stromal cells - results show high abundant epigenetic marks from 1 million cells isolated from a tissue biopsy, with selective amplification of positive gene targets relative to negative IgG and negative gene loci....
