  • Excellent Antibiotic for Bacteria Selection

    Friday, January 26, 2024
    Performing a lot of cloning, we tested a lot of antibiotics. This reference of Ampicillin works very well and it is often in offer, with nice reductions. Budget restrictions made it our primary choice for ampicillin. The powder is easily dissolved and the aliquoted solution is very stable. read more
  • Magnetic Stirrer That Is Resistant to Incubators and Cold Rooms

    Wednesday, January 17, 2024
    We were looking for a cheap and compact stirrer that could be used in the incubators. After several tests with other suppliers, we found this little one that proved very performant when used in both warm/humid incubators (standard cell culture conditions) or the cold room. Very satisfied by the ... read more
  • Good Vortexer for the Price but No Speed Control

    Wednesday, January 17, 2024
    I needed a small vortex to fit under the hood in the cell culture. This mini vortex has the advantage of a very small size compared with others and a very accessible price. The cons point is that the vortex intensity is fixed and maybe a bit too strong for the cells (I do very short bursts). ... read more
  • Excellent Ficoll (6x500ml), good quality/price

    Wednesday, January 17, 2024
    We often perform mononuclear cell isolation from human blood samples of different origins (fresh blood, aphaeresis residues...). This packaging of 6x500ml bottles is very convenient for our high throughput activity, since way cheaper than single purchases and we usually manage to finish one bottle ... read more
  • No More Serial Dilutions for Albumin Standards

    Wednesday, January 17, 2024
    Very very handy pre-diluted bovine albumin dilution. The concentration range is pretty wide (from 0.125 to 2 mg/ml) divided into 7 points ready to use with different quantification methods (BCA, Lowry, Blue Coomassie gel staining...). The solutions are stable (>1 year in the fridge) and the results ... read more
  • Good Sealing Sheets for Plates

    Wednesday, January 17, 2024
    Sealing sheets for plates (any well size, 96 or 384). They have a good price/quality ratio and they can be used for basic sealing of the plates and avoid evaporation. We used them at room temperature without any problem since they stick well. Attention: they are not suitable for cold environments (... read more
  • Fast and Complete Kit for Proteins Quantification

    Wednesday, January 17, 2024
    Excellent kit for the quantification of the protein. Required volumes can be scaled to increase sensibility or save precious samples. The kit contains two different solutions to mix before incubation and 10 ultra-clean BSA glass ampules. the reactions are set very rapidly and they can become even ... read more
  • Stirrer That Is Not Good for Use in Cell Incubators

    Wednesday, January 17, 2024
    We needed a compact stirrer to fit in warm incubators (standard cell culture conditions). We purchase this model for its reduced size and the relatively low price. The stirrer is very light and it works fine for normal purposes at room temperature, but it broke down the first time we tried it in the... read more
  • Essential for Secreted Proteins Production

    Wednesday, June 28, 2023
    Our project relies on the production and purification of a complexed, secreted protein. After different failed attempts using serum-free or IgG-depleted classical media (DMEM), we opted for this medium. Despite the price, this product gives excellent results and it is now indispensable for our ... read more
  • Excellent Also for Mouse T-Cell

    Wednesday, June 28, 2023
    Our lab experienced some problem with the expansion of T-cells, both human and murin. This medium allowed us to get rid of the serum variable in our media, boosting the quality of T-cells in our experiments. We tested it also on mouse derived T cells, and it works as fine as for human cells. read more
