Reverse Transcriptase & RT-PCR
abm has been innovating to set the next gold standard in reverse transcriptase performance. With improved thermostability, sensitivity, robustness, and resistance to contaminants, abm's OneScript® brand of reverse transcriptase set a new benchmark for cDNA synthesis. Their OneScript® Hot is the only Reverse Transcriptase in the world that preserves performance at 50-80˚C, making it useful for even the most challenging projects.
Molecular Biology Enzymes & Kits
abm offers a variety of high-quality individual enzymes and kits that enable the preparation of DNA and RNA for subsequent downstream applications such as assay development, PCR, restriction digest, cloning and sequencing. abm also offers a variety of DNA & RNA Purification Kits as well as CRISPR Screening Kits that will streamline and simplify your experiments!
Antibodies
abm offers a comprehensive selection of primary and secondary antibodies for use in various applications, including western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, ELISA and more. abm's antibodies are available from a wide range of host sources (i.e. rabbit, mouse, donkey, goat).
Primary Antibodies
abm offers polyclonal and monoclonal primary antibodies directed against a broad range of human and non-human protein targets.
Types of Primary Antibodies Available:
- Tag Antibodies – antibodies that target common fusion tags regardless of adjacent recombinant protein sequences. This allows for the identification, purification or tracking of proteins for which no antibody exists saving time, money and other resources.
- IHC Antibodies – abm's SensiStain™ IHC Antibodies are validated, highly specific, and designed for your pathology research needs. Their expanding catalogue of antibodies can be utilised in manual or automated staining systems.
- Loading Control Antibodies – antibodies specially developed against constitutive, highly conserved ‘housekeeping’ genes that provide the ideal reference to evaluate everything from the expression level of target proteins in Western Blots to a control to ensure proper loading, transfer and detection during experiments.
Secondary Antibodies
Secondary antibodies are designed to specifically detect the primary antibody and assist in the detection, sorting and purification of target antigens. A secondary antibody is specific, at both the species and isotype level, to the relevant primary antibody. They typically bear a fluorescent/radioactive/ chemiluminescent or chromogenic tag for signal detection and quantification.
abm offers secondary antibodies from a selection of species of origin (human, mice, rats, rabbits, sheep, chickens, horses, guinea pigs and more), and with a wide array of labels/conjugates (i.e. Horseradish Peroxidase, biotin, Alkaline Phosphatase and Fluorescein), that permit high signal sensitivity and low background.
Transfection Reagents
abm's transfection reagents are unique formulations designed to aid the delivery of nucleic acids into a variety of cell lines with high transfection efficiency and low cell toxicity.
Their collection includes DNAfectin™ Plus for transection into adherent cells and Susfectin™ for transfection of suspension 293 and CHO cells in the production of recombinant proteins, antibodies, and recombinant viruses.
DNA/RNA Purification
abm offers a variety of specialty DNA and RNA kits, allowing for efficient extraction from various sources such as animals, plants, blood, bacteria and fungi. Additionally, you can find reliable kits for routine techniques, such as Gel & PCR clean-up purification, and specialised techniques, such as circRNA isolation.
SafeView™ DNA Stains
SafeView™ products are a new class of fluorescent nucleic acid stains for the detection of double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA and RNA in agarose gel electrophoresis. Four formulations are available, including green or red fluorescence and gel-casting or loading dye formats, making them compatible with any experimental preference or setup!
RNA Tracking (RNA Mango)
Technology for studying the diverse cellular roles of RNA has lagged behind the tools for studying DNA and proteins, but innovative researchers are working to change that! One such researcher is Dr. Peter Unrau of Simon Fraser University. He and his team have created RNA Mango, a novel technology with a number of useful applications.
Buffers & General Chemicals
abm provides a broad range of buffers & chemicals, including antibiotics, dNTPs, NTPs, resins and membranes.
DNA & Protein Ladders
abm offers a range of DNA and protein ladders for precise size estimation in PCR, SDS gel electrophoresis, and Western Blotting. Their Opti-DNA and Opti-Protein Markers are industry standards, ensuring clear band resolution and accurate molecular weight determination. With evenly distributed bands, they deliver consistent performance across different experimental conditions.
