Molecular Biology

We offer you high quality reagents in the field of molecular biology and are constantly striving to expand our product range and make it attractive for you. We work together with well-known manufacturers such as Santa Cruz or Vector. These manufacturers offer among others the following product ranges for molecular biology:

siRNA, shRNA and Lentiviral Particle Gene Silencers
Nucleic Acid Labeling and Detection Systems

SIRNA, SHRNA AND LENTIVIRAL PARTICLE GENE SILENCERS

mRNA Degradation
RNAi-mediated mRNA degradation.

In addition to antibodies and biochemicals, Santa Cruz Biotechnology offers a very wide range of products for the investigation and elucidation of RNA interference.

siRNAs, shRNA plasmids and shRNA lentiviral particles are available for 100% of putative protein-coding human and murine genes.

    • shRNA lentiviral particles: shRNA lentiviral particles are also offered pooled from 3-5 expression constructs, each coding for a 19-25 nt (plus hairpin-loop) short shRNA. shRNA lentiviral particles are available as 200 μl transduction-ready viral particles for puromycin-selection stable knock-down of a gene product in human or murine cells. The appropriate RT-PCR primers or antibodies for the control of the knock-down on RNA or protein level are listed on the data sheet of the respective RNAi product.
    • shRNAs: The shRNA Plasmid DNA Gene Silencers are offered as a mixture of 3-5 plasmids. Each plasmid codes for a 19-25 nt (plus the coding of the hairpin loop) shRNA sequence. shRNA plasmids are offered as 20 μg transfection-ready plasmid DNA for the transient, or by puromycin selection also stable, knock-down of a defined gene product. RNAi-vermittelte mRNA Degradation.
    • siRNAs: siRNAs are pooled and usually consist of 3 different 19-25 nt short, double-stranded RNA sequences, which are specifically designed for the effective knock-down of a gene product.

Each siRNA tube contains 3 nmol lyophilized siRNA mixture and is sufficient for about 50-100 transfections according to the siRNA protocol. The 19-25 nt RNA sequences used in the mixture can also be purchased separately.

NUCLEIC ACID LABELING AND DETECTION SYSTEMS

Vector Laboratories is a manufacturer that offers, among other products, extremely mature, high-quality and consistent product lines for Immunohistochemistry.Other product lines include various labeling systems used for microarrays, blotting assays, cell trafficking, affinity purification, in situ hybridization (ISH), comparative genomic hybridization and subtractive hybridization.

The PHOTOPROBE® and Fast-Tag® Nucleic Acid Labeling System is suitable for multiple labeling of nucleic acids along the entire length of the sample. The original nucleic acid building blocks are neither destroyed nor does a copy have to be made - the integrity of the original is preserved.

  • PHOTOPROBE® System: Here, biotin or amino groups are attached to the nucleic acids in a single reaction step. Hapta, affinity tags or fluorochromes can be bound to the latter. The nucleic acid can also be easily immobilized on a matrix.
  • FastTag® System: Here disulfide-containing "universal linkers" are used. After binding the linker and reducing the disulfide bridge, various thiol-reactive markers can covalently bind to it.
  • 5' EndTag™ and 3' EndTag™ Labeling System: Where internal labeling is not possible or interfering (e.g., if interference from hybridization experiments can occur, or if sequence-specific protein binding is inhibited as a result), Vector offers these systems. Different fluorescent dyes, haptens or affinity tags can be covalently bound to the ends of nucleic acids. Reactive thiol-containing labels can thus be easily incorporated.

n addition to the ability to label nucleic acids, Vector also offers labeling solutions for the following applications:

  • Protein labeling (primary amino group modification, thiol modification, ProtOn™ labeling kits)
  • Carbohydrate (Carbohydrates) Labeling (Biotin (Long Arm) Hydrazides)
  • Biotin Quantification (Quant*Tag™ Biotin Kit)
