Product news

Bibby Scientific will exhibit some of the newest products from its range of laboratory equipment at Lab Innovations 2013. Appearing for the first time at a UK show will be the Techne Combi-Block, for use with Prime thermal cyclers, and the Jenway Genova Nano spectrophotometer. These will be joined on stand C6 by equipment from Bibby Scientific’s Electrothermal, Stuart, Jenway and Techne brands.

Techne introduced the new Combi-Block for its widely used Prime Thermal Cycler range earlier this year. The Combi-Block holds up to 33 tubes of 02 ml or 0.5 ml volumes, and offers an optional 25°C temperature gradient spread over its 11 columns. The provision of wells of different sizes means that a variety of consumables can be accommodated, making the Combi-Block a practical and convenient solution for laboratories with a range of different cycling requirements.

The Genova Nano is Jenway's first three-in-one spectrophotometer. With the ability to function as a life science, standard or micro-volume instrument, it is ideal for the measurement of DNA, RNA and proteins in volumes as low as 0.5µl, and will detect DNA concentrations down to 2 ng/µl.

“We are very much looking forward to building on the success of last year’s Lab Innovations,” said Simon Cook, UK and Ireland Sales Manager at Bibby Scientific. “With all four of Bibby Scientific’s brands being represented, and our team of experts on call to answer questions and provide information, we are confident that visitors to our stand will find a solution for all their laboratory requirements.”

PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer. Find the best DNA sequencing products, including DNA sequencing kits, genomic libraries and genetic identity kits in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Real-Time PCRReal-time PCR (RT-PCR) is a technique used to amplify and simultaneously quantify nucleic acids in real time. It is a key tool in gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and diagnostics. RT-PCR allows for the detection of specific RNA or DNA sequences with high sensitivity and specificity. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best Real-Time PCR systems; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.qPCRQuantitative PCR (qPCR) is a molecular biology technique used to amplify and measure the amount of a specific DNA or RNA target. It plays a crucial role in gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and quantifying DNA or RNA in various applications. Real-time PCR provides precise, quantitative results and is widely used in research, diagnostics, and clinical studies. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best qPCR solutions; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.DNADeoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is the main component of chromosomes and the carrier of genetic information of living organisms. Find out here about PCR, NGS, ChIP-Seq, gel imaging, and many other techniques which can be used for the analysis of DNA.DNA AmplificationDNA Amplification is a technique used to amplify a single or multiple copies of DNA or mRNA by orders of magnitude. The most common method employed is PCR, but other options exist that eliminate the need for thermocycling.RNARNA is a nucleic acid that plays a key role in gene expression and protein synthesis. It serves as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes, carrying genetic instructions to produce proteins. Advances in RNA-based therapies, such as mRNA vaccines and gene editing, have revolutionized treatment strategies for genetic disorders and infectious diseases. Explore RNA research tools and therapies in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check customer reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Protein BiologyThe analysis of protein expression, identity and function is vital for many areas of life science research and drug discovery. Some of the most commonly used techniques in protein analysis include Western blotting, electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.
