Supplier: Biotium

EvaEZ™ Fluorometric Polymerase Activity Assay Kit provides an easy and accurate way to determine the activity of a nucleic acid polymerase without using radioisotopes.

PMA (propidium monoazide) is a high-affinity photoreactive DNA binding dye invented by scientists at Biotium for viability PCR of bacteria and other organisms. The dye is weakly fluorescent by itself but becomes more fluorescent after binding to nucleic acids.

Supplier: Biotium

A wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) lectin labelled with Biotium’s CF® Dyes or HRP. It is a carbohydrate-binding lectin that has high affinity for sialic acid and N-acetylglucosamine moieties of glycoproteins. As a result, WGA conjugates will label yeast bud scars and the cell membrane of gram-positive bacteria and mammalian cells.

EverBrite™ mounting media are anti-fade mountants for preserving fluorescence during microscopy. EverBrite™ mounting media prevent rapid photobleaching of fluorescein, rhodamine, and cyanine based dyes and are optimally formulated for use with Biotum’s CF™ dye conjugates. Unlike Vectashield® EverBrite™ mounting media is compatible with Cy® dyes such as Cy®2, Cy®3 and Cy®5. EverBrite™ mounting medium is a wet-set medium while EverBrite™ hardset mounting medium cures overnight to form a hard permanent seal with the coverslip, eliminating the need to seal coverslip edges with nail polish or other sealants. Both formulations are available with DAPI for blue fluorescent nuclear counterstaining without an additional staining step.

One-Step Blue® is a ready-to-use protein gel staining solution. It produces fast (5-60 min) protein staining in a single step without fixation or washing.

Supplier: Biotium

Stains specifically designed for DNA in polyacrylamide gels.

Supplier: Biotium

MTT, XTT, and resazurin are reduced by mitochondrial metabolic activity to yield coloured or fluorescent products, and thus are useful for and assaying cell viability and quantitating cell number. MTT and XTT are reduced to coloured formazin salts that can be measured by absorbance. MTT generates an insoluble formazin salt, requiring cell lysis before the absorbance can be measured, while XTT does not require cell lysis for measurement. Resazurin is a non-fluorescent blue dye that is reduced to the pink fluorescent compound resorufin, which can be measured by fluorescence or absorbance.

Supplier: Biotium

Ready-to-use solution of Pluronic® F-127, a nonionic detergent useful for solubilizing hydrophobic dye molecules such as cell-permeable AM esters of Fura-2, Fluo-3, Indo-1, or Rhod-2 calcium indicators to facilitate cell loading.

Supplier: Biotium

Paraformaldehyde, 4% in PBS is a ready-to-use fixation solution for cells or tissues.

Supplier: Biotium

Anhydrous DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide; methyl sulfoxide) is recommended for preparing stock solutions.

Supplier: Biotium

The PMA-Lite™ 2.0 LED photolysis device is a light-weight LED light box specifically designed for optimal photoactivation of samples treated with propidium monoazide (PMA), PMAxx™ or ethidium monoazide (EMA) in viability PCR applications.

Supplier: Biotium

6X DNA loading buffer that includes ultra-sensitive, non-toxic GelRed® dye.

Supplier: Biotium

A qPCR master mix containing Cheetah™ Taq hotstart DNA polymerase, suitable for probe-based real-time PCR applications.

Supplier: Biotium

Propidium iodide (PI) is a membrane-impermeant nucleic acid intercalator. The dye is commonly used to selectively stain dead cells in a cell population and also used as a counterstain in multicolor fluorescent imaging.

Supplier: Biotium

Thiazole green, which is structurally identical to SYBR® green I nucleic acid gel stain, is one of the most sensitive stains available for detecting double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in agarose, polyacrylamide gels and qPCR.

Supplier: Biotium

PMAxx™ dye is a DNA modifier used for viability PCR (v-PCR). V-PCR is a powerful PCR-based, culture-independent, method for rapid and sensitive quantification of microbial viability.
