  • 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
  • His-Tag Purification Resin

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I typically use this resin when my recombinant His-tagged protein purification process requires DTT and EDTA in my binding buffer. This resin is different from the traditional Ni-NTA Agarose resins in that imidazole concentration for the wash and elution steps is low (1-5 mM for the wash step and 25... read more
  • 10 kDa Cut-off Centrifugal Filter

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I use this centrifugal filter for desalting and concentration of recombinant protein preps. The typical size of my proteins is>30 kDa. It is important to check the filtration rate of these units before loading the sample because sometimes the membrane can be damaged and cause rapid leakage of the ... read more
  • Amicon Centrifugal Filter Unit with 30 kDa Cut-Off

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I have been using this centrifugal filter unit for more than 15 years. I typically use this unit for my recombinant protein purification process during the sample concentration step. Typical volumes that I work on are between 10-30 mL and my protein sizes >100 kDa. Easy to use and the best product ... read more
  • Amicon 10 kDa Cut-Off Filter Unit

    Tuesday, March 05, 2024
    I have been using this centrifugal filter unit for more than 15 years. I typically use this unit for my recombinant protein purification process during the sample concentration step. Typical volumes that I work on are between 3-6 mL and my protein sizes are >50 kDa. 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
