New! Cell-Mate3D™ RNA Isolation Kit
Extract RNA directly from your Cell-Mate3D™ cultures using Cell- Mate3D™ RNA isolation kit.
Reagents and workflow are optimized for efficient RNA isolation and recovery from cell embedded Cell-Mate3D™. Cell- Mate3D™ has unique chemical and physical properties such that common RNA isolation kits are not suitable for RNA extraction. Economical for your research, only $3.30/rxn without beads (RXT-1001), $5.00/rxn with beads (RXT-1000). Order Now.
JDRF Funding Supports Study Using BRTI Life Sciences’ Matrix Technology
BRTI Life Sciences will provide a “tissue-like” microenvironment to support pancreatic islets for a University of Minnesota study. To learn more, see the JDRF funded abstract.
New Cryosectioning and Staining Protocol
Human Mesenchymal Stem cells embedded in Cell-Mate3D™, cryosectioned and stained with CD44-A488 (green) and DAPI (blue). 60X
