illustra™ ProbeQuant™ G-50 micro columns
Supplier: Cytiva
ProbeQuant™ G-50 micro columns use spin column chromatography to provide a fast and reliable method for purifying labelled probes from unincorporated labelled nucleotides. In addition, a portion of the eluted DNA can be counted in a scintillation counter and compared to an unpurified sample to give an approximation of percent incorporation. The columns are designed for use in a microcentrifuge, come prepacked with Sephadex™ G-50 DNA grade and are pre-equilibrated in STE, which means that they are ready to use. They can accommodate samples ranging in volume from 25 μl to 50 μl.

ABsolute™ qPCR Low ROX Mixes
Supplier: Thermo Fisher Scientific
ABsolute™ qPCR low ROX mixes are optimised for use with real time instruments that are able to detect long wavelength dyes with greater sensitivity, such as the ABI 7500. The lower level of ROX still facilitates normalisation across the plate, while maintaining the sensitivity of the assay. The mixes contain all the components necessary to perform quantitative PCR, with the exception of template and primers/probes. The 2X qPCR mix contains a proprietary reaction buffer that provides high sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility.

Arginine-C™, sequencing grade
Supplier: G-Biosciences
SG-Arginine-C™ endopeptidase (Clostripain, from C. histolyticum) specifically hydrolyses the carboxy peptide bond of arginine. SG-Arginine-C™ has been modified chemically by a propriety process to render the enzyme resistant to autolysis and stabilise enzymatic activity. In addition, as a sulfhydryl enzyme, SG-Arginine-C™ is susceptible to inactivation by oxidation and as a result requires reducing agents for protection. The enzyme also requires calcium ion for maximal activity. A special reconstitution buffer is supplied, which contains reducing agents and activators to maintain enzyme activity.

Chymotrypsin™, sequencing grade
Supplier: G-Biosciences
SG-Chymotrypsin™ is a serine endopeptidase, which predominantly cleaves peptide bonds on the carboxy side of tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan. In addition, chymotrypsin has a low catalytic activity against the carboxy side of leucine, methionine, alanine, aspartic and glutamic acids. It is therefore recommended to always use the shortest digestion time possible.
