LipiDye™ RED is a reagent that enables high-sensitivity red-fluorescent imaging of lipid droplets in live cells.
- Selective staining of lipid droplets (LD) with high S/N ratio
- Detects small lipid droplets (≦ 1 um) in non-adipocyte cells
- Compatible with live/fixed cells & STED microscopy
- Analysis of the lipid composition of individual lipid droplets and the progression of lipid hydrolysis by using fluorescence lifetime imaging.
FAOBlue™
Fatty acid beta-oxidation detection dye in live cells
FAO activity of fatty acid beta-oxidation in living cells can be easily measured by the fluorescence imaging method.
It can be widely applied to comparative evaluation of β-oxidation activity of fatty acids in different cell types, search for compounds that promote or inhibit β-oxidation activity, and basic research on enzymes involved in β-oxidation.
PolyamineRED™
Novel polyamine specific detection dye in live cells as a potential cancer marker.
It is suitable for detection or semi-quantitative analysis of intracellular polyamines.
AcroleinRED™
ONE & ONLY simple method for acrolein detection in live cell w/o cell disruption / antibodies.
This reagent does not react with other unsaturated aldehydes or lipid metabolites etc., and enables easy detection and relative quantification of endogenous acrolein or acrolein produced by external stimuli in living cells.
HydroCell® Flask, Low Cell Binding Cultureware
Super hydrophilic polymer is immobilized to the surface of the culture ware at nano-thickness.
For formation of embryoid bodies of ES cells in culture, anchorage-independent colonies, differentiation such as cartilage (spheroid formation), culture & storage of macrophage / immune cells, screening of anti-cancer drugs (replacement for soft agar assays), etc.
AZ PRESERVER™, Novel Hypothermic Storage/Transportation Solution
Minimizes cellular stress during refrigerated storage and enables superior preservation performance.
Simply replace the culture medium of mammalian cells or organoids with AZ PRESERVER - no complicated procedures required.
Ideal for:
- Short-term storage and transportation of cells or organoids that are difficult to cryopreserve.
- Direct transplantation of organoids to animals
SignalBooster Neo - Signal Enhancer for Western Blot & ELISA
Try Signal Booster Neo to get higher signals for western blotting, ELISA, etc.
By simply diluting antibodies with Signal Boosters, signals increase and background decrease.
Compatible for phosphoprotein detection or for any ELISA. Protein-free composition contributes to no interference by proteins in the reagent.
NanoDisc BD kit - Membrane Protein Expression on NanoDisc
* Available in US only.
Try NanoDisc BD Kit is a set of reagents necessary for NanoDisc synthesis for membrane protein with good quality and yield.
This kit takes advantage of the benefits of the wheat cell-free synthesis system and combines WEPRO7240ND, a wheat germ extract optimized for Nanodisc synthesis, with the BD method, which has a proven track record in proteoliposome synthesis, and a new synthesis method (patent pending) that co-expresses mRNA for MSP protein and mRNA for the target membrane protein.
HistoBright - For Deep-Imaging and Spatial Structural Analysis of Tissue Blocks
HistoBright is an environment-responsive membrane-staining fluorescent dye which can be exited by the two photon laser.
It has high tissue permeability, and its fluorescent properties change depending on the local structure of the tissue, allowing high-contrast tissue visualization.
Combining tissue clearing techniques with two photon laser microscopy allows deep-imaging and spatial structural analysis of tissue blocks.
The fluorescence characteristics change from green to near-infrared depending on the surrounding environment (Solvatochromic Property).
Both confocal microscopy (recommended excitation laser: 488 nm laser) and two photon microscopy (recommended laser: 960 nm laser) are compatible.
CUBIC - Tissue Clearing Reagent Kit
CUBIC enables cellular resolution 3D imaging of entire organs at cellular resolution using Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) or Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM).
- The protocol requires only standard laboratory equipment—no specialized equipment like electrophoresis systems is required.
- Highly versatile water-soluble CUBIC tissue clearing kits that have a powerful transparency level.
- Compatible with all organs including the bone. Fluorescent protein signals can be observed after clearing the sample.
This kit can extract template DNA usable for PCR and real-time PCR from biological samples with a 10 minutes operation!
Broad range of sample are compatible with this kit
- Cells, Animal Tissue, Plant, Bacteria, Blood and Feces.
Colored RNA Markers
Prestained RNA Ladder for single-stranded RNA electrophoresis, made with patented technology.
You can monitor separation/transfer status.
The prestain markers can be transferred to a membrane, so transfer efficiency and the membrane orientation in Northern blotting can be checked.
