qPCR assay plates streamline high throughput analysis

IDT reports that primers and probes for 5′-nuclease and intercalating dye assays (such as Sybr) can now be directly ordered online in a 96 well plate format. The launch of PrimeTime qPCR assay plates for high throughput qPCR analysis eliminates…

Lockdown Probes promise 5000-fold enrichment

THE LATEST development from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) for next generation sequencing is its range of xGen Lockdown Probes. These are individually synthesized 60-120 nucleotide 5’-biotinylated capture oligonucleotides designed to enable cost-effective, high depth sequencing and analysis of specific regions…

Imaging RNA in living cells in real time

THE IMAGING of RNA inside individual living cells seems like the stuff of science fiction, but is becoming a laboratory reality says Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). The latest issue of Decoded, the company’s quarterly newsletter, highlights the use of IDT…

Machine engineering at the genetic level

WE THINK of engineering as the creation of machines, while genetic engineering is the manipulation of genomes. These two disciplines come together in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGem) competition, which encourages students to exploit the growing power of biotechnology…

Gene fragments just got cheaper

A SIGNIFICANT reduction in the cost of synthetic gene synthesis is promised by Integrated DNA Technologies with its gBlocks gene fragments, now available. These double-stranded, sequence-verified genomic blocks of up to 500 base pairs are priced at just US$99 –…
