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

• 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.

Output current/increments	10-400mA/1mA
Output power	60W
Operating constant modes	Constant voltage or constant current
Timer	1-999 minutes with alarm, or continuous
Dimensions (WXDXH)	140 X 191 X 84 mm

PR1MA™ qMAX™ Gold

• 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.

Double sided non cooled vertical system, 20cmW x 10cm

 The Galileo Bioscience Reflection 2010 is a wide, high capacity gel electrophoresis separation system that allows users to run up to two protein gels simultaneously on a 20 cm wide x 10 cm tall format.  The large gel format makes this unit ideal for users who have a large number of protein samples to run simultaneously.  Galileo's unique casting base allows users to both cast and run gels without ever having to unclamp the upper buffer chamber.  This makes handling gels safer and more convenient, especially for those who may be prone to ripping their gels between the two activities.

The 2010 vertical gel box also includes a water cooling feature for electrophoresis protocols that require lower temperature.  This water can be provided by the tap or other temperature controlled source and is easily connected by attaching standard tubing over the 3/8" barbed in/out ports on the device.  Users may also facilitate cooling efficiency and uniformity using Galileo's optional alumina backer plates (see accessories below).

System Features

Each Reflection 85-2010-V vertical system includes the following features:

•     Heavy duty upper buffer chamber with cooling port connections
•     Lower buffer chamber
•     Interlock safety lid with attached leads
•     Casting base
•     Four-pack each of plain and notched glass plates
•     One acrylic blocker plate (used when only one gel is being run)
•     Eight 0.8mm thick side spacers
•     Four combs of your choice

System Accessories

•     Alumina cooling plate for use with cooling systems. This plate can be sandwiched between the gel and the inner buffer chamber to improve overall temperature uniformity.
•     Casting base for quick, efficient and leak-proof gel casting.

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

RT 2X Master Mix is a proprietary, ready-to-use master mix for first-strand cDNA synthesis in a 2X
concentration. This optimized reaction mix contains ribonuclease inhibitor, dNTPs, and a balanced
concentration for oligo(dT) and random primers. The ribonuclease inhibitor effectively protects RNA
template from degradation. The oligo(dT) anneals selectively to the poly(A) tail of mRNAs and the
random primers do not require the presence of poly(A) and they are utilized for the transcription of
mRNA 5-end regions. The resultant cDNA can be directly used as template in different PCR experiments.
