  • Digital Dry Bath For Drying and Sample Denaturation

    Tuesday, September 19, 2023
    This digital dry bath from Thermo Fischer is very useful for protein sample denaturation which is usually carried out between 95-100 deg C for 5 to 10 mins. Higher temperature limit of this is 130 deg C. This equipment is also use for DNA extraction from mouse tail for genotyping using XNAT kit. read more
  • Nanodrop That Is Not Just for DNA and RNA

    Monday, September 11, 2023
    Just like the previous Nanodrop 2000 version, Nanodrop One is also very impressive for quick and accurate quantification of DNA and RNA. Measures DNA and RNA concentration at ng/uL with 260/280 and 260/230 absorbance. The loading volume of the sample is also 1uL like the previous version. Nanodrop ... read more
  • Roller Mixer for Antibody Conjugation and Tissue Fixation

    Tuesday, June 28, 2022
    The Stuart roller mixer is a good instrument for efficient antibody conjugation reactions in western or immunoprecipitation experiments. This SRT6D model can rotate to a maximum of 60 RPM. It is a quiet and continuously running machine. We are using this roller mixer inside the refrigerator for ... read more
  • Magnetic Stirrer and Heater for Reagents and Solution Preparation

    Monday, June 27, 2022
    The IKA magnetic stirrer is one of the user friendly instruments for preparing chemical solutions for chemistry and biology experiments. The stirring base can also function as a hot plate for heating liquids while preparing (eg. Paraformaldehyde preparation for tissue fixation). This stir bar is ... read more
  • Vortex Mixer for Biology

    Friday, June 24, 2022
    This Grant Bio Vortex Mixer is a handy instrument for researchers on their bench for quickly mixing reagents, enzyme mixtures for PCR and antibody solutions.

  • 2-Mercaptoethanol for Molecular Biology

    Tuesday, June 21, 2022
    2-Mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent used in biochemistry and molecular biology experiments like SDS-PAGE and RNA isolation. In SDS-PAGE it is used in cell lysis buffer for breaking disulfide bonds and can be sometimes replaced by a less toxic dithiothritol (DTT). In RNA extraction, it denatures ... read more
  • Cryostat for Cryosectioning Adult Mouse Brain

    Friday, June 17, 2022
    This Thermo cryosectioning cryotome comes with lots of user friendly upgrades like height adjustments for comfortable work positions, quick temperature regulation that maintains cutting surface temperature for a longer period of usage, and a touch screen that helps to use consistent settings for ... read more
  • Liquid Nitrogen Container for Cryopreserved Samples and Snap Freezing Tissues

    Thursday, June 16, 2022
    This Thermo liquid nitrogen container is very handy for transporting cryopreserved cells from liquid nitrogen storage before thawing. Most importantly the dish shaped design of this flask helps to snap freeze tissue samples for protein studies and also for cryo-sectioning. This flask is made of ... read more
  • Maxiprep Plasmid DNA Isolation from Sigma GenElute Kit

    Wednesday, June 15, 2022
    Fast purification - After alkaline lysis of overnight E.coli culture, plasmid containing supernatant is carefully added to the silica column and purified plasmid DNA can be eluted just after two wash steps in less than 30 minutes. This kit can purify up to 1.2mg of plasmid DNA and it also avoid the ... read more
