Facilitate rapid and efficient lentiviral transduction of T cells with a microfluidic-based sponge

Lenti-X T-Cell Transduction Sponge

• Conduct T‑cell activation and transduction in one step
• Streamline your protocol with a product preinfused with two anti-human antibodies and IL-2 cytokine—or add your own!
• Skip labor-intensive, time-consuming spinoculation or chemical enhancers
• Transduce 10⁵–10⁷ cells in one well of a 24-well plate with each sponge

Construct DNA libraries from both ssDNA and dsDNA—all from one kit

ssDNA-Seq Kit

• Use with highly fragmented, damaged, or degraded DNA, including FFPE samples
• Enable analysis of ssDNA fragments as short as 50 bp
• Complete library prep in under 2 hr with a simple workflow
• Multiplex up to 384 samples with Unique Dual Index Kit compatibility

Scale up mRNA production with low dsRNA byproducts

PrimeCap T7 RNA Polymerase (low dsRNA) GMP grade

• Obtain in-vitro transcribed RNA that is notably safer by reducing dsRNA byproducts by >90%
• Retain the same high yields as T7 RNA polymerase ver.2, especially when used with cap analogs such as CleanCap Reagent AG (TriLink Bio Technologies)
• Facilitate a smooth transition to large-scale manufacturing with enzymes produced following GMP guidelines

Isolate both RNA and DNA from tissue, plants, or cultured cells—all with one kit

NucleoMag RNA and NucleoMag RNA/DNA Pro

• Gain the flexibility to isolate RNA and DNA, or RNA only, from the same sample
• Process samples manually or streamline with automated magnetic rod systems
• Obtain highly pure RNA/DNA for direct use in downstream applications such as RT-PCR, enzymatic reactions, and sequencing

Unlock full-length RNA isoforms from low-input samples

SMART-Seq mRNA Long Read

• Capture full-length transcripts up to 8 kb in length
• Process ~10 pg–100 ng of total RNA input or samples consisting of 1–1,000 cells
• Multiplex up to 96 samples for sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore Technology platform

Increase RNA purification throughput for plant and fungi samples

NucleoSpin 96 RNA Plant & Fungi

• Process samples in a 96-well format by centrifugation, vacuum, or automation
