In a previous post, I introduced the C-series multiplex profiling technology from Raybiotech, a smart way to multiplex your western blot while saving time and sample volume, and decreasing the cost of your experiment.

Indeed, one blot for multiple targets processed at once is a nice way to boost your protein profiling studies!

I just wanted to highlight in this post, that on top of the standard species models like human, mouse and rat, these C-series are also available for many other models. With 15 different species to select from, RayBiotech is leading the way for immunoassay kit species diversity.

My colleague Ana introduced in a previous post (3 years ago already!) a selection of the most popular anti-tag antibodies among the research community. I must say that they remain extremely popular, showing their robustness over time. In this post, I would like to focus on anti-RFP antibodies and anti-GFP antibodies, looking at a selection of high quality, fully validated, reliable tools.

Cell viability after cryopreservation is a sensitive subject as it may be dependent on the ability of mammalian cells to face the stress generated by the freeze / thaw cycles. Improving cell viability whilst maintaining optimal cellular functions and pathways has thus become a challenge. In this post, we invite you to take a look at 3 optimized reagents to improve cellular viability after cryopreservation with serum-free and protein-free CryoStor cryopreservation freeze media solutions.

Sekisui XenoTech have announced the addition of Rodent Hepatocytes to their patented CryostaX® product line.

The CryostaX® in vitro drug discovery and preclinical drug development test system is continuously expanding with these new pooled Sprague-Dawley rat hepatocytes  released in July, and pooled CD-1 mouse hepatocytes soon to be launched.

CryostaX® hepatocytes are liver cells that are prepared using a patented process that produces unique cryopreserved cell pellets. This single-freeze preparation process provides greater convenience to researchers, versatile pooling options, and minimizes freeze-thaw injury to the cells, which promotes high viability, cell yield and enzymatic activity for longer-term, consistent test results. What else makes Cryostax a popular choice for researchers?
