Complement your gene expression analysis with LOH studies. Confirm your SNP analysis results by sequencing. Combine MLPA genomic results with quantitative gene expression for the full story.
The CESI 8000 High Performance Separation-ESI Module is designed for mass spectrometry applications that analyze charged and polar molecules. Thanks to its robust OptiMS technology, the advantages of Capillary Electrophoresis are now delivered to the mass spectrometer without dilution or disturbance.

Resin are designed specifically for intermediate purification steps that remove host-cell contaminants from partially purified targets using strong or weak hydrophobic interactions. Methacrylate-based beads for protein and nucleic acid purification using hydrophobic interactions are available for purifying compounds that have weak or strong hydrophobic regions.

Agilent’s Gene Expression Wash Buffers are optimized and validated for consistently reliable, high volume, post-hybridization processing.
Hydrophilic media and depth filters. Cellulosic, Diatomaceous earth + cellulose, GF, polyproylene and nano fiber disposable capsules or cartridges. For clarification, prefiltration or to protect columns. Many different inlet / outlet connections, with or without vents and drains. SIP / Autoclavable. Specify when gamma stability is required.
Protein A based affinity chromatography is the industry standard for the capture of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in downstream processing.

Sterilizing grade 0.04um, 0.1um, 0.2um hydrophilic PES membrane filters plus other micron ratings. Single layer or double layer PES and with optional prefilter layers to extend on-stream life. Gamma compatible and suitable PVDF alternative. Mold injected capsules with multiple inlet / outlet options including sanitary ‘T’ clamps, hose barbs, quick sanitary connectors, elbows and threads. Almost any combination of connecting inlet or outlet is possible with over 30 options. Full validation supporting documents are available. Ideal for tube sets and hook up to bioreactors, fermenters, biocontainer, biobags, wave bags or single use fermenters.

ZenPure’s in-company mold design and injection capabilities, filter production and quality assurance facilitate manufacturing audit and product traceability that meet the highest industry standards.

In an effort to push science forward, WHEATON is manufacturing  a new line of membrane driven flasks for high density cell culture. The flasks are designed to enhance small scale bio-production for antibody and protein generation.
