  • Omega BIO-TEK DNA Extraction Kit

    Thursday, March 07, 2024
    I use this kit for genomic DNA extraction from mammalian cell lines for CRISPR/Cas9 genetic screen experiments. I strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for the purification process. The process takes a bit longer than other genomic extraction kits but yields are good. read more
  • Vacuum Line Protector - Millex Filter

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I use vacuum lines hooked up to glass flasks to aspirate supernatants from pelleted bacterial and mammalian cells. The Millex-FH Filter does a good job by serving as the vacuum line protector. These last for few months. read more
  • 0.45 Micrometer Syringe Filters

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I use this SFCA 0.45 micrometer syringe filter for filtering small volume laboratory buffers and solutions. I typically use Luer Lock syringes with these filters and they work well. I also use these filters for filtering lentiviral supernatants. read more
  • Ready-To-Use Sheath Fluid for Flow Cytometry Systems

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    This ready-to-use reagent from Thermo Fisher Scientific can be used as a sheath fluid in flow cytometry systems. I work with Sony Cell Sorter SH800S and have been using this reagent for more than 3 years. read more
  • Bis-Tris Midi Gels for SDS-PAGE

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is a large protein of ~312 kDa that functions as a tumor suppressor. It is a critical scaffolding protein of the beta-catenin destruction complex in the WNT pathway. Immunoblotting APC from cell extracts can be challenging because of its large size. I use 3 to 8% ... read more
  • 4 to 12% Bis-Tris Gels for SDS-PAGE

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I prefer these gels when I need to resolve multiple proteins of varying sizes on the same gel. I work with a protein complex that contains three proteins of ~300 kDa, ~60 kDa, and ~20 kDa. This gel beautifully resolves all three proteins and even the large sized protein is efficiently transferred to... read more
  • 10% TBE Precast Gel for Resolving Small Sized DNA Fragments

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I typically use homemade 2% agarose gel electrophoresis to resolve DNA fragments between 100-200 bp. I tried the same gel for resolving an 80 bp DNA fragment but it did not go well. I tried this 10% TBE gel and it resolved much better. Staining the gel in Ethidium Bromide solution after the run for ... read more
  • RNA Purification Kit from QIAGEN

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I have used this kit for purification of CRISPR sgRNAs. sgRNAs are transcribed in vitro and the purification is done with a slight modification that is compatible for small RNA purification. I typically get yields of 50-100 µg with high purity and they work really well for CRISPR RNP experiments. read more
  • DNA and RNA Oligonucleotide Clean and Concentrator Kit

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I use this kit to purify single stranded oligonucleotide (ssODN) for CRISPR/Cas9 HDR experiments. My ssODN sizes are 80-100 nucleotides. The kit is easy to use and yields are good enough for my experiments. read more
  • Cell Viability Assay Kit

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I used this kit for 96-well format at 25 µL of XTT reconstituted solution per well containing 100 µL of medium. The incubation period was 3 h. The kit is easy to use and I followed the manufacturer's instructions with reproducible results. read more
