  • Best Flow Cytometer for Cell Cycle Analysis

    Thursday, August 08, 2024
    This flow cytometer has been in the lab group longer than I have and required very little maintenance or had any significant issues despite being used a lot. We use this with 96 well plates for cell cycle analysis and it always produces reliable data as part of tox screenings. Allows you to detect ... read more

  • Purification Kit That Outperforms Others

    Thursday, August 08, 2024
    I use this kit routinely for RNA isolation of MCF7 cells prior to PCR, transfection, etc. We have versions of the kit that have been in the deep freezer years past the expiration date and we still experience great yield. Spectrophotometer analysis of these yields always shows great purity. read more

  • Great Assay Kit for Method Validation

    Tuesday, July 16, 2024
    We used the live/dead assay for MCF7 cell lines as part of a new method validation. It saved us a lot of time and material by validating cell death and also in forming an approximate calibration curve. read more

  • Paraoxon-methyl Standard - Not Good Compared to Other Products

    Tuesday, July 16, 2024
    I used this standard, as well as a few others, in a cell exposure study. Despite preparing and using dilutions exactly the same, I noted significant differences in data between vials. While they were all stored the same, I noticed some batches produced minimal effect compared to others. However, ... read more

  • Reliable Spectrophotometer for DNA Quantification

    Monday, June 24, 2024
    Mostly used for DNA applications, but have used with RNA as well. Very straight forward to use, and simple to "zero out" before using with dilution substrate. I only take off one star because sometimes we have to restart the software, as it seems like it freezes up. read more

  • Very Helpful Cell Lab Pipette Controller

    Monday, June 24, 2024
    I began using this product in a neighboring lab, and loved it so much I got one for my lab. It makes large volume dilutions so much easier. I have never experienced any leaks or spills, so good performance. read more

  • Inverted Microscope With Great Magnification and Filtered Viewing

    Monday, June 24, 2024
    We use this for viewing cells, especially those with HRP fluorescent properties. It makes viewing very streamlined, and allows simple ability to capture images for downloading/printing. Sometimes the software can take awhile to connect and synch with the microscope, and this is my only complaint. read more

  • Robust and Reliable Microcentrifuge

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    We use this centrifuge a lot for human plasma preparation. While we don't always use the thermostat control option, it has always been reliable and is a great feature to have. Every so often, I have been limited by the number of slots for microcentrifuge tubes, but that is this product's only ... read more

  • Long-Lasting and Reliable Vortex

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    This vortex has been a staple in our lab longer than I can remember! The vortex has gone through a lot, being used almost every day. Whether we use it for biological samples or simple solution preparation, the many settings on the vortex make it suitable. We also have some off-market attachments for... read more

  • Reliable Plate Shaker

    Thursday, March 14, 2024
    This shaker has a large speed range and can run on a timer. I like how the timer is loud enough to hear across the lab. It also does not take up a large space on the bench. I also like how there are a number of attachments to hold varying things. I know we can use this in incubator and refrigerated ... read more
