Content and Resources

Filter by:
Resource Type
A Highly Consistent Lowry Method on Biomek i-Series The quantification is based on peptide bonds of proteins reacting with copper under alkaline conditions followed by copper-catalyzed oxidation of aromatic amino acids, producing blue color
A highly consistent Bradford assay on Biomek i-Series The Bradford protein assay is a simple, fast and sensitive method that is used to measure the concentration of total protein in a sample
A highly consistent BCA assay on Biomek i-Series The BCA (bicinchoninic acid) assay is a popular method used in quantification of proteins
FormaPure DNA Extraction kit for FFPE Samples The FormaPure DNA extraction kit provides a convenient extraction process utilizing Beckman Coulter’s proprietary solid phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) chemistry to extract DNA from FFPE curls.
Illumina TruSeq Exome Library Prep Kit The Illumina TruSeq Exome Library Prep kit is a workflow to generate indexed paired-end libraries and is specially designed to work with Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) samples
