Product news

The Molecular Probes® Handbook—A Guide to Fluorescent Probes and Labeling Technologies contains over 3,000 technology solutions representing a wide range of biomolecular labeling and detection reagents. The significantly revised 11th Edition features extensive references, reorganized content, and new technical notes and product highlights.

The Brand-New Edition—Significantly Revised!

Comprehensive Updates
New additions include detailed information about use of click technology as well as updates for high-content screening solutions, the use of Qdot® nanotechnology in flow cytometry, and new technologies for live-cell imaging.

Extensive Primary Literature References
Hundreds of new primary literature references have been added to The Handbook, providing user context for our labeling and detection technologies. We continue to recognize the mutually beneficial connection between the growth of Molecular Probes® technologies and the successful development of new applications by our customers.

Reorganized Content
A new, fresh design was created to provide easier access to data, structures, and information. An all-new introduction section has been added to highlight key tools and web pages that researchers will particularly want to know about.

New Technical Notes and Product Highlights
These concise yet detailed notes provide insights and information about the applications researchers are interested in. Covering a wide range of topics, from fluorescence detection basics to advanced applications, these notes and highlights were provided to add value to this complete reference book.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples. Find the best gel doc / image analysis products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.NanotechnologyNanotechnology, or nanotech, is an engineering technique using molecular scale functional systems. Applications of nanotechnology include medicine and medical devices, electronics, air and water purification, food science and energy production.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :
