Product news

PlasmidFactory is relieving the scientist of the daily routine tasks. In its laboratories the company is producing plasmid-DNA meeting the individual requirements of the research scientist.

The result is a highly qualitative and secure material in a reproduceable quality. “It is just this guarantee, always to receive the same high-quality product, which is appreciated by our clients. This way reproduceable results can be assured in those critical experiments and studies.” explains Dr. Martin Schleef, CEO of PlasmidFactory. “This is a clear advantage compared to the ordinary kit-product.” he adds.

Besides contract manufacturing of plasmid-DNA, PlasmidFactory is also offering gene-synthesis and gene-optimisation. The so-called ‘In Stock Plasmids’ are complementing the product portfolio: these plasmids are always in stock and are usually shipped within 48 hours of order. Presently the following In Stock qualities are available: various reporter-gene vectors, pDG vectors for the AAV virus production and pEPI vectors with S/MAR elements.

PlasmidFactory’s research and development as well as its complete service branches are based in Germany. With various projects sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) plus European research co-operations, Plasmid Factory is the driving force in the development of gene vectors. Respectively the company is working in close co-operation with many renowned institutions such as the German Cancer Research Institute (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, the University of Munich, the Charité Berlin and the Institute Pasteur to name just a few.

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.

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.Gene Expression and Molecular CloningMolecular cloning is a set of techniques that utilizes vectors to transfer recombinant DNA into host cells and is an essential tool for investigating the expression of genes and proteins in bacterial or mammalian cells. A variety of vectors optimized for gene cloning and expression in a range of host organisms are available, alongside competent cells for genetic replication. Here, you can explore a range of molecular tools, high-quality genomic and cDNA libraries, premade clones, transformation and transfection reagents and mutagenesis or gene expression detection assays and expression arrays.
