Novel Nucleic Acid Labeling Kits

By Biotechdaily staff writers
Posted on 29 Aug 2005
New PlatinumBright nucleic acid labeling kits offer a proprietary ULS (universal linkage system) labeling molecule bound to a choice of fluorescent dyes or haptens, for use in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) applications.

The complete labeling kits include unique purification columns that ensure the complete removal of unreacted dye while yielding very high sample recovery, independent of fragment length. More...
The ULS has been engineered to provide very reproducible labeling densities, both inter- and intra-experimental protocols, without the use of enzymes that can cause biases. While designed for FISH applications, the labeling reaction can also be used in Northern blot, Southern blot, spot blot, and dot blot hybridizations as well as with tissue arrays.

ULS labeling of nucleic acids is a one-step procedure that takes only 30 minutes. "End users using PlatinumBright kits can now very easily, quickly, and reproducibly label nucleic acids for whatever application they can think of,” observed Brent Keller, general manager/vice president, commercial operations, for Kreatech Biotechnology B.V. (Amsterdam, The Netherlands; www.kreatech.com). Earlier this year, the company also launched a line of labeling kits with the same dye pairs for the direct labeling of genomic DNA for microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization analysis.

The platform combines broad-range amplification using conserved regions of the 16S and 23S rRNA genes with species-specific CRISPR recognition. Fluorescence-coded CRISPR droplets are paired with sample droplets containing amplified products, enabling multiplexed target recognition and signal decoding (Image Credit: Yiwen Yang, Jingsong Xu, Dakang Xu)

Nanodroplet CRISPR Technology Supports Rapid, Multiplexed Mycobacterial Identification

Mycobacterial infections are difficult to diagnose because closely related species can have different clinical and therapeutic implications. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized... Read more
