Boost your lentiviral transduction efficiency

Try a free sample of the Lenti-X transduction sponges!

The Lenti-X transduction sponges have a macroporous structure that creates a microfluidic system for increasing virus-cell contact. This allows you to achieve high transduction efficiency while eliminating time-consuming spinoculation and harsh chemical transduction enhancers from your workflow. 

Samples are available while supplies last and restricted to customers in the US and Canada.

Get an exclusive sneak peek into our latest RT-qPCR controls

Test out our spike-in controls as part of our early-access program! 

Our exogenous controls are:

• Accurately quantified—digital PCR analysis ensures accurate standard curve generation
• Highly stable
  • DNA spike-in control—double-stranded DNA naturally retains excellent stability
  • RNA spike-in control—RNA sequence is encapsulated in a non-contagious virus-like particle, ensuring it is resistant to temperature changes and RNase digestion

Sample lyo-ready qPCR mixes for your assay development

Evaluate our high-performance lyo-ready master mixes, based on two of our most trusted enzyme technologies—One Step PrimeScript III for RT-qPCR and PrimePath Probe for qPCR. These products are:

• Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016 standards, ensuring the highest quality and lot-to-lot consistency
• Easily lyophilized with your primers and probes
• Capable of multiplexing up to five targets

Samples are available while supplies last and restricted to customers in the US and Canada.

Sample a DNA polymerase for your assay development

In addition to our most popular, high-performance enzymes, you can also sample our new highly concentrated, glycerol-free formulations. If you are working with challenging applications, such as multiplexing, long and/or GC-rich targets, or inhibitor-resistant direct PCR, we have an enzyme that will enable your success from the benchtop to the clinic.

Samples are available while supplies last, limited to one per customer, and restricted to customers in the U.S. and Canada only.
