One easy way to obtain a PrimePCR plate customized for your research is to modify one of Bio-Rad’s predesigned panels. This short video tutorial shows you how to use the online tools at Bio-Rad.com to edit a predesigned plate and create, then order your own customized 96- or 384-well PCR plate.

PureBlu DAPI Nuclear Staining Dye is the optimal choice for staining the nuclei of fixed cells for ultraviolet imaging. This short video goes through the steps involved in staining live cells with PureBlu DAPI Nuclear Staining Dye.

Mice are an optimal model organism for human cancer studies. However, when experiments involve a human xenograft in a mouse host, cross-reactivity presents a major concern in measuring biomarkers. This technical report evaluates 14 Bio-Plex Pro Human Cancer Biomarker Assays for cross reactivity to mouse proteins and discusses the resulting data.

The Cancer Stem Cell model proposes that a special group of dormant cells in the cancer population plays a key role in tumor development and growth, as well as regeneration following treatment. Find out how researchers Stacy Blain and Danielle Joseph are using the S3 Cell Sorter in studying potential cancer stem cells for multiple myeloma.

At SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, researchers Stacy Blain and Danielle Joseph are trying to find out how the Cancer Stem Cell model might apply to multiple myeloma. See how they use Bio-Rad’s S3 Cell Sorter to isolate a small population of cells that might play an important role in this disease.
