Bullseye Agarose General Purpose

Bullseye Molecular Biology Grade Agarose is certified for use in standard electrophoresis procedures, including nucleic acid analysis, preparative electrophoresis, and blotting. This highly refined and purified agarose is produced under strict testing parameters to ensure lot-to-lot consistency. It features low electrophoretic mobility characteristics, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

Extracted from the cell walls of certain Rhodophyceae (agarophyte seaweeds), Bullseye Standard Agarose is a neutral polysaccharide composed of galactan, linked by agarobioses in a 1-3, 1-4 arrangement. This unique chemical structure enables agarose to form robust gels even at low concentrations. The gels exhibit a macroreticular structure with an open mesh, easily adjustable by varying the agarose concentration.

Bullseye Agarose GP2 offers

• General-purpose electrophoresis and blotting capabilities
• Excellent separation, resolution, and clarity
• Low absorption and background from staining reagents
• High gel strength for safe and easy handling
• Superior refinement and purification
• Enhanced thermal stability

Bullseye DNA Safe Stain Plus

• Higher sensitivity
• Use in the same way as EtBr in agarose gel electrophoresis
• Detection of DNA and RNA
• Safest DNA stain by far
• Low cost
• 10,000X
• Excitation wavelengths at 290nm and 490nm

DNA SafeStain Plus is a highly sensitive green fluorescent DNA/RNA staining reagent for detecting nucleic acids in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. This unique stain gives high sensitivity for detection of double-stranded or single-stranded DNA and RNA. Gels can be post-stained or the stain can be added to gels during gel casting or to the gel running buffer. DNA SafeStain Plus has two excitation wavelength peaks at about 290nm and 490nm, and an emission wavelength at 530nm, making it compatible with a standard UV light box, a blue-light transilluminator, or a gel reader equipped with visible light excitation; such as, a 488 nm laser-based gel scanner.

DNA SafeStain Plus is in a 10,000X concentrated format that can be easily diluted 10,000 times for use in precast gel staining, or 5,000 times for use in post gel staining.

EZ Pack™ Agarose Tablets

• Eliminates weighing
• Fast dissolving, just two minutes
• Environmentally friendly, free from organic solvents
• Consistent, reproducible gels
• Enhanced resolution and clarity 

Researchers trust Benchmark’s Agarose LE to meet their electrophoretic needs for various applications. Now, the same agarose is available in a convenient, no-mess tablet.

Agarose LE is refined in an advanced process that excludes the use of organic solvents. The result is a cleaner end product with significantly reduced environmental impact. The agarose can be used for analyses of nucleic acids from 150 bp to 25,000 bp, protein electrophoresis, and various blotting protocols.

The low EEO of the agarose promotes increased electrophoretic mobility, yielding improved resolution and shorter run times. This also allows macromolecules and larger particles (subcellular fragments, viruses, etc.) to migrate more freely through the gel matrix. The consistently low EEO reduces band distortion (caused by counterflow) that can result from the presence of excessive sulfate-rich negative ions. The quick-dissolving EZ Pack™ tablet contains 0.5 g (500 mg) of Agarose LE, eliminating the hands-on time and inaccuracies normally associated with weighing. Use of the tablet is not only convenient and cleaner, but it also provides better consistency and reproducibility gel to gel.

Gel preparation is simple – add the desired number of tablets to the electrophoresis buffer, allow it to sit for two minutes, and then heat and pour as usual. The resulting gels are highly transparent, have exceptional thermal stability (ensuring safe and easy handling), and exhibit exceptionally low absorption of chemical staining agents.

EZ Pack™ Agarose Tablets are supplied in convenient blister packs for safe, clean dispensing.

VitroINK® Bioinks

Ready-to-use bioinks for 3D bioprinting

VitroINK® are ready-to-use, xeno-free (animal origin-free) bioink system either unmodified or modified with either RGD, Collagen-memetic, IKVAV, or YIGSR peptides or with Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP) for biodegradable bioink.

VitroINK® is a family of the ready-to-use, xeno-free tunable bioink system that requires no UV,  no temperature/pH curing, or chemical cross-linking. The system is ready-to-use at room temperature, neutral in pH, transparent, and has excellent visibility after printing and cell culture. Due to the unique shear-thinning and rapid recovery mechanical property, VitroINK® can maintain the printed structure without UV or other special curing methods. Adding cell culture medium after printing can further stabilize the printed structure and support cell growth. Cells can be pre-mix with VitroINK® using our VitroINK® Mixing Kit for mixing ratios at 3:1 or 10:1. Different versions of VitroINK® may incorporate multiple biological functional ligands to promote cell attachment, cell-matrix interactions, cell proliferation, motility/migration and differentiation for many different applications.
