Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced the release of its comprehensive new guide to the high quality Thermo Scientific ABgene® range of products. The 2008 Thermo Scientific ABgene Resource Guide leads customers through the wide range of reagents and plastic consumables available for effective and consistent PCR, QPCR, sequencing, sample storage and plate sealing, including accessories for in situ PCR and microarraying.

Relying on continual innovation and customer feedback, the Thermo Scientific ABgene product line has been specially developed to provide molecular biologists with a range of premium products that offer high performance, reproducibility and maximum convenience.

ABgene plastic consumables are setting industry standards. The products are precision-moulded in a clean room environment to ensure the highest level of consistency and quality control, enabling them to be certified free from DNase, RNase and endotoxin contamination. Similarly, ABgene reagents are designed to provide increased sensitivity, reliability and convenience, and the products are fully licensed for both PCR and QPCR applications. Thermo Scientific DNA amplification products are optimised for use on each of the major thermal cycling platforms.

Using detailed product descriptions, frequently asked questions and easy-to-read tables, the 2008 Resource Guide takes customers through the options to select the best products for their particular application.

The 2008 Thermo Scientific ABgene Resource Guide can be obtained from a local Thermo Scientific representative, sales office or distributor. Alternatively, customers can request a copy 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. 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.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.
