Together, MyGlo™ and ProNect™ provide a simple cloud-connected workflow that integrates instrument, assay and automated data analysis. MyGlo™ Reagent Reader brings unparalleled ease to our gold-standard CellTiter-Glo® Assays. Discover how we're simplifying your science.
New Product: Introducing the PowerPlex® 18E System!
We’re thrilled to announce that the PowerPlex® 18E System is now available. Designed specifically for European Forensic Laboratories, this 8-dye STR multiplex provides superior amplification of all ENFSI-recommended loci. Find out how the PowerPlex® 18E System can streamline your lab’s sample analysis and reduce costs.
New Product: Fast-Track Cell Proliferation Detection
Introducing the new Lumit® hKi-67 Immunoassay. A no-wash, add-and-read method for tracking the Ki-67 protein, a key marker of cell proliferation, in less than two hours. This user-friendly, plate-based assay requires only a luminescence reader and utilises antibodies that emit a luminescent signal upon binding to Ki-67. Achieve fast, accurate results with this direct and sensitive measure of cell proliferation.
Boost Your Mass Spectrometry Results with Trypsin/Lys-C Mix
Improve your mass spectrometry results with Trypsin/Lys-C Mix, Mass Spec Grade. This enzyme blend enhances protein digestion, reduces missed cleavage sites and shows better tolerance to inhibitors like guanidine chloride. Perfect for tightly folded proteins, it ensures reliable protein identification and quantitation.
Leading the Charge in Exosome Technology
EXO-NET® sets a new benchmark in exosome isolation, providing unparalleled efficiency and precision. Harnessing the power of magnetic bead extraction, EXO-NET® dramatically speeds up the process, completing exosome isolation in under an hour with superior purity and integrity. This innovative method outperforms traditional techniques, capturing 80% more nanoparticles, making it an ideal solution for advanced diagnostic applications, including cancer detection and monitoring neurodegenerative diseases.
