The new Agilent formats offer the same proven ULS technology and simple protocol in a kit that is more suited to those customers that work with Aglient gene expression microarrays
Kreatech Biotechnology announces the expansion of its gene expression product line to incorporate ULS amplification and labelling kits for specific use on Agilent microarrays for all Kreatech's current aRNA labelling kits and RNA ampULSe amplification and labelling kits.
These new formats are aimed at providing more specific kit formulations to Agilent platform customers.
In addition Kreatech has made available one color formats with either Cy3 or Cy5 offering additional options to the user.
The new Agilent formats offer the same proven ULS technology and simple protocol in a kit that is more suited to those customers that work with Aglient gene expression microarrays.
While these kits are formatted for convenient use on Agilent microarrays, ULS is platform independent and will work on all fluorescent platforms.
"This broadening of our product offering is the continuation of our desire to give more choices to our customers that are based on the platform they are using.
"This product release is consistent with our strategy of providing complete amplification and labeling kits to our customers, regardless of the platform they use", says Brent Keller, general manager of Kreatech USA and vice president commercial operations.
Kreatech's ULS technology relies on the special binding properties of platinum, to form coordinative bonds with biomolecules by binding to specific sites on DNA, RNA and proteins.
In this way, ULS acts as a relatively simple 'molecular glue' for DNA, RNA and proteins.
As a result of its versatility, customers have a choice of the molecular label attached to the ULS they can use to label the biomolecules of interest.
Kreatech currently commercialises labelling kits for aRNA labelling, microRNA and small RNA labelling, arrayCGH labelling, general nucleic acid labelling, and recently introduced both single and two colour kits for protein labelling on antibody arrays.
