Visi-Blue Transilluminators are designed for use with GFP stains. As compared to UV, the blue light will transmit through almost any transparent (plastic, glass, etc.) laboratory equipment. This is essential when monitoring and detecting DNA migration and protein expression in real time.

• Two models are available with surface areas as follows: 21x26cm or 20x40cm
• Select from models with 8-watts or 25-watts
• Amber cover (included) blocks blue light transmission and allows visualization of media above 500nm

Several specially designed converter plates convert a transilluminator's 302nm ultraviolet radiation .

• To white light for viewing protein gels, coomassie blue stained or silver stained media. The Converter Plate's uniquely phosphored glass assembly (patent pending) converts the UV radiation via a white diffuser
• Convert UV:

1. To 460-470nm with the Visi-BlueT plate for viewing GFP stains
2. To 365nm UV with the UV/UV plate for preparation and gel excision

• The scratch-resistant glass is mounted in a metal housing for durability
• Rubber seal stops the plate from sliding
• Handles are situated on two sides of the plate for easy handling
• Several standard plate sizes are available; custom sizes are also available

The ENDURO Mini is a great saver of space and money. This power supply can handle up to 2 gel boxes at atime and is great for horizontal DNA gels and mini-vertical protein gels. These are small in size but not performance. The ergonomic design of the ENDURO Mini allows them to be stacked. However, to minimize cabling, up to three power supplies can be placed within the PowerStock allowing optimal air circulation while only utilizing one power outlet at the bench. These units are full featured with 300V, 400mA, 60W and built in timer. They can run at either constant voltage or constant current and have automatic cross-over as well as no-load detection.

• Inert yellow dye helps reduce pipetting errors
• Room temperature stable for up to 30 days
• Compatible with fast cycling protocols
• Highly sensitive for low copy number templates
• Includes PR1MA Hot Start Taq Polymerase

Successful PCR requires careful control of many variables.  Pipetting errors, poor performing polymerases, dNTP concentrations, are just a few of the variables that can all contribute to reaction problems.  PR1MA has developed their new qMAX™ Gold to control these variables and help you achieve the best possible amplification performance. To reduce the chance of pipetting errors, qMAX™ Gold includes an inert yellow dye so small volumes are easy to visualize in PCR plates.  

qMAX™ Gold is a ready to use, 2X mastermix of PR1MA Hot Start Taq enzyme, dNTPs, a sensitive fluorescent intercalating dye, and optimized reaction buffer.  The Hot Start Taq allows reaction set up at room temperature while the temperature stable formulation guarantees optimal performance even if the mix is left at room temperature for extended periods.

Just add primers and DNA targets to the mix, and then proceed to amplification.  qMAX™ Gold is compatible with all real time thermal cyclers and exhibits high sensitivity with normal or fast 2-step cycling protocols.

Cas9 Nuclease 
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against viruses and plasmids by using CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) to guide the silencing of invading nucleic acids. The CRISPR system consists of a short non-coding guide RNA (sgRNA) made up of a target complementary CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and an auxiliary transactivating crRNA (tracrRNA). The sgRNA guides the Cas9 endonuclease to a specific genomic locus via base pairing between the crRNA sequence and the target sequence, and cleaves the DNA to create a double-strand break. The location of the break is within the target sequence 3 bases from the NGG PAM (Protospacer Adjacent Motif). The PAM sequence, NGG, must follow the targeted region on the opposite strand of the DNA with respect to the region complementary sgRNA sequence (Fig.1).

Intact Genomics Cas9 Nuclease is the purified recombinant Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 enzyme containing a nuclear localization signal (NLS) at the C-terminal for targeting to the nucleus. This enzyme is designed to perform CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. The physical purity of this enzyme is â¥98% as assessed by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie® blue staining.

ig-Fusion Cloning Kit 
Intact Genomics propriety ig-Fusion cloning technology is a simple, rapid and highly efficient cloning kit which allows to directly clone any PCR product(s) to any linearized expression vector at any site. The PCR fragments can be generated by Intact Genomics high fidelity Pfu DNA polymerase or other high-fidelity DNA polymerases, with primers having 15 to 18 bases of homology at their linear ends to where the product need to fuse. The linearized vector can be generated by PCR or restriction enzymes. The kit is so robust that multiple DNA fragments can be assembled simultaneously and cloned into one construct in a single reaction step within short times (usually 10-30 min) with more than 95% cloning efficiency.

Benefits

• Clone any insert at any site within any vector
• Restriction enzyme and phosphatase free system
• Joining multiple large fragments at once
• Precise insertion at a desired orientation
• Rapid and high efficiency with > 95% positive clones
