VWR®, Destaining bags
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
Destaining bags are designed to safely remove ethidium bromide from solution during overnight treatment. Each bag extracts up to 5 mg of ethidium bromide from solution, thus minimising the exposure of research personnel to this toxic material. The special absorbent mixture retains dye molecules in a convenient bag for removal and incineration.

Trypan blue 4 g/l in aqueous solution cell culture reagent
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
A pre-mixed dye solution used in cell culture applications to determine cell viability. A researcher can remove a sample of cells from culture and combine in a 1:1 ratio with the Trypan Blue solution. Under the microscope, dead cells will appear a blue color and viable cells will appear clear and translucent. Using a hemacytometer (gridded microscope slide), a researcher can quantify the percentage of dead cells within a population. Stained cells are ready for counting within five minutes.

Zinc Formalin Fixative
Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY
Zinc formalin fixative is a non-precipitating fixative. This fixative is compatible with histochemical, immunochemical and special stains. It may be used with automated tissue processors and also in manual methods. The zinc chloride component of the formulation increases the rigidity of cellular components to withstand subsequent processing, sectioning and staining procedures. Tissue specimens initially fixed using 10% neutral buffered formalin solution may be post-fixed using the zinc formalin fixative.

Loading dye solution
Supplier: Thermo Fisher Scientific
This gel loading dye contains two different dyes bromophenol blue and xylene cyanol FF for visual tracking of DNA migration during electrophoresis. The presence of glycerol ensures that the DNA in the ladder and sample forms a layer at the bottom of the well. The EDTA included in the solution binds divalent metal ions and inhibits metal-dependent nucleases.

Automated cell counter, ADAM-MC2
Supplier: NANOENTEK
ADAM-MC2 is an automated fluorescence cell counter that performs cell counting and viability measurements at highest accuracy capable of replacing complex flow cytometry workflows. Combined with the disposable micro-fluidic Accuchip, operation is extremely simple and cost-effective. Utilising the PI (Propidium Iodide) nucleus staining method, most advanced LED optics and CMOS detection technology, ADAM-MC2 is the perfect solution when working with aggregated, irregular shaped or challenging cells like CAR-T cells, CAR-NK cells or adipose-derived stem cells.
