Removing genomic DNA contamination from cDNA preparations is a challenge. All currently available methods are time consuming, could lead to sample loss, and are not efficient. Bio-Rad’s iScript™gDNA Clear cDNA Synthesis Kit tackles these issues and makes this step effortless. This article presents the performance data of the kit and describes how simple and efficient it is to use the kit for gDNA removal.

Choosing the right primary antibody is an arduous task. A lot of standardization needs to happen before we can determine that the antibody is specific and sensitive enough for the purpose of our experiment. The new PrecisonAb™ Antibodies from Bio-Rad go through vigorous testing and validation before they are deemed suitable, thus eliminating the process of trial and error for researchers. The video describes how the PrecisionAb antibodies are developed.

The best chromatography media should yield high protein purity and product recovery as well as be versatile enough to purify difficult samples. Bio-Rad’s CHT™ Ceramic Hydroxyapatite achieves this by virtue of being able to interact with the proteins through multiple modes, making the process extremely efficient. The whiteboard animation describes the mode of action of CHT.

How can we easily identify biomarkers for different immune cell types? Refer to this color-coded poster for quick and simple identification of human lineage biomarkers.

How are educational curricula developed? Who sets the standards? How do companies that develop science education kits keep up with this and design their kits around the curricula? Find out in this article.

How can we easily identify biomarkers for different immune cell types? This color-coded poster makes identification of mouse lineage biomarkers easy.

What can chromatography peaks tell us? From the quality of column packing to the purity of separated proteins, a lot can be gleaned from the peaks. Here are some definitions that can help decipher what chromatography peaks can tell us.

In 2015, we published an extensive array of tips, protocols, videos, articles of general interest, customer testimonials, and technical and application notes on bioradiations.com. Here is a list of the most popular 2015 stories.

During a PCR reaction, it is imperative for the DNA polymerase to remain attached to the template while extending the new strand. This association is jeopardized under challenging PCR conditions and when amplifying longer DNA fragments. See how Sso7d, a small protein capable of binding with the polymerase, helps in stabilizing this association and increasing PCR efficiency.

It’s always good to get the basics straight. Here, we’ve defined some flow cytometry terms that might have eluded you.
