Represented by its first Photometer in 1950, and invention of the world’s first piston stroke pipette and centrifuge for microliter handling requirements of pediatric samples as original objective, Eppendorf has served a critical role in the evolution of Biotools and Molecular Technologies.
Real-time PCR instrument Mastercycler ep realplex is the product of Eppendorf’s combined competencies in photometry and PCR thermoramping technologies, and makes possible the highest qPCR assay reproducibility in as few as 24 minutes. For PCR assay set-up, nearly 50 years of liquid handling expertise have resulted in the proprietary optical sensor-guided epMotion pipetting station. To learn more about these innovations, please contact Eppendorf.
Practice of the patented polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process requires a license. The Eppendorf® Thermal Cycler is an Authorized Thermal Cycler and may be used with PCR licenses available from Applied Biosystems. Its use with Authorized Reagents also provides a limited PCR license in accordance with the label rights accompanying such reagents. This is a Licensed Real-Time Thermal Cycler under Applera's United States Patent No. 6,814,934 and corresponding claims in non-U.S. counterparts thereof, for use in research and for all other applied fields except human in vitro diagnostics. No right is conveyed expressly, by implication or by estoppel under any other patent claim.
Fujifilm has entered the global market for nucleic acid extraction with a product launch that nucleic acid researchers have greeted with excitement. QuickGene-810 consists of a very compact, space-saving table-top device and matching kits for isolating DNA and RNA. Using this innovative system, DNA can be obtained from whole blood in just 6 minutes. The extraction is convincingly simple and convenient: the user selects a program and then starts the device. Higher yields can be achieved compared to the traditional methods. Moreover, the DNA so obtained is much purer than with previous methods, which can be a decisive factor for use in downstream applications. But it is not just DNA extraction that is faster and better; the more demanding RNA extraction also becomes faster and more convenient to perform with QuickGene-810.
