MJS BioLynx Well Being

Invite a Lab Mate to Join Our e-Lynx Newsletter - and We'll Donate $5 Towards Our "Charity of the Month" Campaign

Our “Charity of the Month” for September is the  Terry Fox Run.

The annual Terry Fox Run has become a fall tradition in Canada, with more than 600 communities, big and small, urban and rural, fundraising for cancer research. This year, you can register and participate on Sunday, September 15!

The money you raise each year in Terry’s name supports world-class cancer research at the Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) and in laboratories, clinics, centres, and hospitals around the country and beyond.

Send this  sign-up link to your lab mate and we’ll donate $5 when we receive their completed sign-up.

NEW PRODUCTS

EpiCypher – CUTANA™ Uncharged 6xHis-pAG-Tn5 for CUT&Tag

Products in EpiCypher’s IDEA Toolbox (Innovation and Discovery of Epigenetic Applications) offer access to reagents without known or fully defined uses, enabling researchers to explore cutting-edge applications.

They have recently released CUTANA™ Uncharged 6xHis-pAG-Tn5 for CUT&Tag.

This is a fusion of proteins A and G to E.coli transposase (Tn5), the key enzyme for CUT&Tag [1]. The fusion protein contains a polyhistidine tag (6xHis) to enable applications that require affinity purification steps.

For more information about the applications and Validation data of pAG-Tn5, click on the “learn more” button below.

Vector Laboratories – VECTASHIELD® Antifade Mounting Media & TrueVIEW® Autofluorescence Quenching Kits

If you love the Vector Laboratories’  VECTASHIELD Antifade Mounting Media - The MOST widely referenced antifade mounting media, then you may also love the TrueVIEW Autofluorescence Quenching Kits.
These kits provide a novel way to remove unwanted fluorescence in tissue sections due to aldehyde fixation, red blood cells, and structural elements such as collagen and elastin.

TrueVIEW Quenching reagent is a unique approach to diminish unwanted autofluorescence from non-lipofuscin sources, that retains the specific fluorescent antigen staining. The quenching action of the kit reagents therefore, provides the investigator with a clear, unambiguous, “true view” visualization of the intended target.

You may also like the  VectaPlex™ Antibody Removal Kit. This ready-to-use kit is designed to remove antibodies and other non-covalently bound detection reagents from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections in immunofluorescence or tyramide signal amplification staining workflows.

TECHNICAL REPORTS

Revolutionizing Epigenomics with Single-cell CUT&Tag

Single-cell epigenomics has transformed our understanding of cellular diversity and gene regulation. By analyzing individual cells, researchers can uncover the intricate mechanisms driving cellular states and how these processes go awry in disease.

Explore New Genomic Applications with Multiomic CUT&Tag

Multiomic studies, which involve the integration of DNA, RNA, and protein “omics” datasets from a single cell or sample type, are helping researchers understand complex biological processes in development and disease.

PeptiGel vs. Collagen

When discussing 3D Cell Culture, researchers and scientists talk about collagen, a popular matrix material. Collagen does have limitations as a scaffold though, in a similar way to many other natural scaffold materials, which is one of the reasons why Cell Guidance Systems is offering a fully synthetic alternative – PeptiGels®.
