One-size-fits-all solutions cannot address the full range of molecular biology needs in areas such as biotech, biopharma, or molecular diagnostics. When your requirements exceed the existing offerings of reagents and plastics on the market, Bio-Rad can partner with you and provide custom solutions. For a deeper look into these customization opportunities, we spoke with Anna Lai, manager of Bio-Rad’s custom reagents program, and Jennifer Placek, who manages the company’s custom plastics.

Join Terence, a motivated undergrad, as he experiences the ups and downs of research using next-generation sequencing, learning valuable tips for successful NGS experiments along the way

To obtain and publish the best quality qPCR data, you need to follow MIQE guidelines. See how to apply the MIQE guidelines to your experiments in this webinar.

In this special webinar, the presenters of our Gene Expression University: Fundamentals of Real-Time PCR series answer frequently asked questions. Watch now.

Learn about 5 key aspects of a PCR plate that are crucial to your results. These tips provide you with the tools to make an informed decision when purchasing PCR plates.

Bio-Rad is excited to announce the launch of SEQuoia RiboDepletion Kit, the newest product in the SEQuoia portfolio of RNA-Seq sample preparation products. This is a stand-alone, post–library depletion kit that eliminates RNA-Seq library fragments that originated from ribosomal RNA sequences. The kit exhibits superior performance in retaining small RNAs while minimizing the loss of rare transcripts and RNA from limited samples, providing a better approach to whole transcriptome profiling. Furthermore, the cost of rRNA depletion can be significantly reduced by pooling and depleting multiple libraries in a single ribodepletion reaction.

Coming soon: The next iteration in Bio-Rad’s tradition of qPCR excellence. The compact CFX Opus Real-Time PCR System is more connected, consistent, and easier to use than ever before, and is available in 96- and 384-well formats. The CFX Opus Systems launch with our new BR.io cloud platform and the latest version of CFX Maestro Software, for complete instrument control and data analysis capabilities.

Reference gene selection and validation are very important for gene expression studies that involve different samples or experimental conditions and therefore are absolutely necessary before any further exploration. See how PrimePCR Reference Gene Selection Panels and CFX Maestro Software provide an easy-to-use system with which to select appropriate reference genes.

One-step multiplex RT-qPCR is a technique used to rapidly quantify multiple targets directly from RNA in a single reaction. But proper optimization and validation is essential for its success. These five tips will have you designing primers and probes, selecting reporters, and validating and optimizing your experiments like a pro.

Multiplexing with Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) allows for improved sensitivity and precision, as well as increased low-level detection in limited sample types like liquid biopsies. Learn about amplitude and probe-mixing multiplexing and how our ddPCR Assays can help set you up for multiplexing success.
