Great Amplifications for Real-Time PCR Analysis

Rishu Bansal
The real-time PCR machine from Bio-Rad is efficient for the amplification of a gene in 96-well plates. You can store your protocol in the machine and you can also standardize ... read more
Effective Plates for Tissue Culture

Neha Mittal
Though these plates are for the purpose of tissue culture, I have used them for the initial steps of my transformation experiment. It was used to germinate the seedlings ... read more
A Vector for Transformation

Rishu Bansal
The pUC19 vector is highly recommended for transformation experiments. I use this vector for transferring my gene of interest for ligation and to make a transfer into the ... read more
Excellent Reporter System

Neha Mittal
The luciferase system is helpful to act as a reporter system to check the functionality of your transferred gene(s). This system from Promega is very easy to use with the ... read more
Multi-purpose Filter Papers

Rishu Bansal
The round and small filter papers from VWR are very useful in multiple ways. However, I need and use them to soak water inside Petri dishes where I can germinate the seeds for... read more
Excellent Medium and Transformation Cells

Rishu Bansal
To perform the evolutionary study I have to choose the best medium and competent cells. In that respect, the TaKaRa SOC medium is the best option as it provides very lively ... read more
Ready-to-use PCR Buffer

Neha Mittal
GoTaq reaction buffer is one of the great options for PCR reactions. This ready-to-use 1X buffer solves several purposes including providing density to samples for gel loading... read more
Excellent Host Cells for Cloning

Neha Mittal
Great quality host cells in the form of bacterial cells are highly required for cloning, as we have to transfer the vector into these cells, and then they have to multiply for... read more
Water for Contaminant-free Experiment Environment

Rishu Bansal
DEPC water is a requirement for performing molecular lab experiments. Thermo Fisher nuclease-free water provides good quality results and contamination-free environments. This... read more
Great Quality Adhesive Film for Real Time PCR Plates

Neha Mittal

Nick B.
Was considering the Mastercycler X50 vs a couple other cheaper options. Ultimately went with the X50 and we don't regret it at all. It's super easy to use, and is very easy to... read more
Convenient Smaller Size Conical Tube

Vincent Giacalone
15 mL tubes are well suited for centrifugation but can be cumbersome when working with smaller volumes in the 2-4 mL range. These 5 mL tubes are the same shape as standard 15 ... read more
Best Loading Dye for DNA Electrophoresis

Filippo Massa
Excellent loading buffer for DNA electrophoresis, with the advantage that this dye doesn't absorb the UV and doesn't present the usual dark shadow around 500bp typical in ... read more
Not Only for Soil DNA Extraction

Milena Carlot
We used this kit to extract DNA from different matrices other than soil: red and white grapes, grape marcs, cheese… All with excellent results in terms of quality and quantity... read more
Sharp 100bp Ladder

Filippo Massa
Very good DNA ladder for 100bp bands. Good resolution and consistency between the bands, with brighter 500bp and 1000bp bands as reference. NEB provides a better loading ... read more
