The Biologics Analysis Workflow combines the release of several new products designed as an integrated system for faster, easier, and more reproducible purity assessment of protein-based therapeutics in cGMP-regulated environments.

The S3 cell sorter is an automated benchtop cell sorter that even novices find easy to use. The first truly walk-up automated cell sorter available to scientists, the affordable S3 cell sorter is designed to free up technician time in core facilities and can also be used in individual research labs.

Bio-Rad researchers recently reported a technique, using updated reagent and instrument technologies, for producing quantitative and reproducible western blot data.

Bio-Rad’s S3 cell sorter will be used as a training instrument at the 36th Annual Research Course in Flow Cytometry at the University of New Mexico June 8–14, 2013. The S3 cell sorter represents emerging trends in flow cytometry: automated setup and operation, low capital cost, and a small benchtop footprint.

SsoAdvanced universal SYBR^® Green supermix and SsoAdvanced universal probes supermix both include Bio-Rad’s patented Sso7d fusion enzyme, which provides the highest quality data from the most challenging sample types over a broad range of cycling conditions, primer concentrations, and temperature.

Two Bio-Rad promotional videos received Telly Awards at the annual awards ceremony in April. Selected from among 12,000 entries, the winning submissions were promotions for the Bio-Rad Science Ambassador Program and the new NGC™ medium-pressure chromatography system.

A new study demonstrates that Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) technology is suitable for routine analysis of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food, feed, and seeds. The ddPCR assay is more accurate and reliable than real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) for quantifying GMOs, especially at low levels.

Bio-Rad’s new ddPCR library quantification kits enable QX100 Droplet Digital PCR system users to precisely and directly measure library concentrations for next-generation sequencing.

Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) technology dramatically enhances current telomerase activity assays, with important implications for the early detection of cancer and the rapid evaluation of cancer therapeutics.

The QX100™ Droplet Digital™ PCR system was cited as the future market leader in digital PCR systems for its precision, simple workflow, and affordability. More than half of the researchers surveyed plan to buy a QX100 system in the next year
