Cambridge BioScience Cambridge BioScience has been appointed UK distributor for Cell Biolabs, supplier of specialised research tools for life scientists.
Cell Biolabs develops innovative technologies to create the best products for researchers, helping to define the mechanisms underlying cell function and disease.
Products cover the areas of cell-based assays, signal transduction and apoptosis, cytoskeleton regulation and viral gene expression systems.
Viral expression and purification kits include: recombinant adenovirus; recombinant retroviral vector; and virus purification and titre kits.
Recombinant adenoviruses have tremendous potential in both research and therapeutic applications and there are numerous advantages in using adenovirus to introduce genetic material into host cells.
Recently, recombinant adenoviruses have been used to deliver RNAi into cells.
ViraBind adenovirus purification Mega Kit provides an efficient system for quick adenoviral purification with high recovery (>90%).
It avoids the tedious and time consuming CsCl ultracentrifugation methods traditionally used and can be performed in just 1-2 hours.
Kits are also available for the purification of other viral types such as lentivirus.
These products are available from Cambridge BioScience in the UK and Ireland only.
