Product news

A new issue of Eppendorf BioNews is now available. Published by Eppendorf AG, Germany this biannual magazine introduces readers to current products and provides applications or protocols written by specialists.

According to Berrit Hoff, Eppendorf BioNews Editor-in-Chief, ‘The latest issue has 24 colourful pages, including a special eight-page section of Application Notes contributed by guest authors and members of Eppendorf’s international team of application specialists. “In the spotlight” features the new Eppendorf Plate® Deepwell 96 and 384, while other articles range from micromanipulation techniques for transgenic labs, to using the Mastercycler®ep realplex in food analytics, plus news and tips on hot topics. There is even a crossword competition offering prizes such as a highly desirable Montblanc® Meisterstück fountain pen and three MP3 players.’

Since its launch in 1993 Eppendorf BioNews has proved to be a popular source of information for researchers worldwide. New subscribers can download Issue 28 and subscribe online free of charge by visiting the Article Webpage.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
