How to Remove Stripes from a Gel Image — ChemiDoc™ Imager Filter Alignment
Usually when stripes appear on a gel image produced with a ChemiDoc XRS+ or ChemiDoc MP Imaging System, a misaligned filter is the cause. Learn the simple steps to correct this issue with this video from Bench Partners.
Ligand Immobilization in Protein Interaction Studies — An Unattended Amine Coupling Protocol with Automatic Coinjection Activation
Amine coupling is the most commonly adopted technique to bind proteins to biosensor chips. Because of the possibility of the amine coupling reagents reacting with each other, these have to be premixed just before the injection and injected independently. Here are some tips to automatically coinject these reagents.

Developing Bio-Rad’s S3™ Cell Sorter: The Great Cell Sorting Redesign
Cell sorting technology is not new. However, sometimes taking a new look at a mature technology brings unexpected results. See how we reimagined drop delay calculation, rethought software and automation, and more during the design and development of Bio-Rad’s S3 Cell Sorter.
Protein Purification Workflow Development Using Bio-Rad’s NGC™ Chromatography System
While using affinity tagging is the preferred method to achieve highly pure protein through recombinant expression, this approach isn’t feasible for all proteins. This tech report describes workflow optimizations using the NGC Chromatography System that allow users to achieve high purities with untagged proteins.
Unlocking the Structures of Natural Killer Cell Receptors with the NGC™ Chromatography System
Structural biologist Petr Novák employs the latest techniques to model natural killer cell receptor molecules, research that may one day result in powerful therapies to treat cancer and infections. Go inside the fascinating world of structural characterization and find out how Novák has integrated the NGC™ chromatography system into his effort to visualize these molecules in vivid detail.
Novel Liposome-Capture Surface Chemistries to Analyze Drug-Lipid Interaction Using the ProteOn™ XPR36 System
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors offer a label-free technique for profiling biomolecular interactions, including those between drugs and liposomes. Here we describe the novel surface chemistries that make capturing liposomes possible, and explore the application of the liposome capturing kit in analyzing liposome-small molecule interactions.
DIY Cell Sorting with Bio-Rad’s S3™ Cell Sorter
