CHEMICON's Sure Blot® CHEMI™ Hybridization & Detection Kit is designed to provide high quality, non-radioactive detection of digoxigenin-labeled DNA probes hybridized to Sure Blot® Nylon Membrane. As an integrated hybridization and detection system, Sure Blot® CHEMI™ is quality controlled to produce high signal and low background. Comparable sensitivity to 32P is typically observed for single-copy gene detection. Sufficient re…

Chemicon's Quick Apoptotic DNA Ladder Detection Kit provides a fast and easy means for detection of DNA fragmentation in apoptotic cells. Unlike other similar kits which require 1-2 days to finish the procedure, the new detection method requires less than 90 minutes to prepare DNA in a single tube, without the need for extraction or the use of columns. DNA fragmentation can be easily visualized by agarose gel electrophoreses.…

Sterivex filter units work with syringes, peristaltic pumps or pressure vessels. They eliminate the risk of contamination associated with decanting or pipetting.Sterivex units are designed to dispense into virtually any storage container. The devices are available with different outlet connectionsSterivex filter units can process volumes up to 1,000 mL or 2,000 mL, depending on the type of membrane used in the device. A choice…

The Steriflip filter unit is designed to work with standard 50 mL centrifuge tubes, which eliminates sample transfer. To filter, just attach the unit to a 50 mL centrifuge tube containing your sample, flip it over, and apply the vacuum. When finished, the filtrate collects in the attached 50 mL centrifuge tube.Steriflip Nylon Net filters are now available in 40, 60 and 100 µm pore sizes, making them ideal for stem cell, cardio…

Sterivac vacuum-driven filter units are ideal for bottle-top filtering directly into receiver flasks at flow rates as fast as 1.5 L/min. The unique "start & stop" filtration action makes setting up, filtering and transferring the unit to another receiver fast and easy. Push a button to stop filtering, move the device to an empty bottle and restart

The Stericap ™ PLUS Universal Bottle-Top Filter Device provides fast, large-volume filtration into any sized bottle.

Dextran Sulfate (MW 500,000) is used as an additive in probe hybridization solutions. Its presence accelerates the rate of hybridization by 10 fold. The addition of Dextran Sulfate favors the formation of probe networks, resulting in greater sensitivity during membrane-bound nucleic acid analysis. The product is supplied as a 50% (w/v) solution.
