LPS Extraction Kit
Rapid microscale LPS (lipopolysaccharide) isolation from Gram-negative bacteria — in ~60 minutes.
Traditional hot phenol-water Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) extraction methods are time-consuming and impractical for small sample sizes.
iNtRON’s LPS Extraction Kit offers a fast, user-friendly alternative for microscale LPSextraction, making it ideal for use with limited quantities of bacterial cells. Based on the phenol-water method, the kit removes contaminants and delivers high-yield, high-purity LPS across a variety of Gram-negative species. Read more
- Rapid & easy protocol – only 60 min.
- Based on phenol-water method
- Removes contaminants (proteins, NA, lipids)
- Compatible with small sample sizes
- Broadly applicable to Gram-negative bacteria
RedStar DNA/RNA Loading Dye (6x) - Save Alternative to Ethidium Bromide!
Load + stain in one step (no in-gel stain required) and track your run | Detect DNA/RNA with EtBr filter
RedStar™ is a ready-to-use fluorescent DNA/RNA loading dye: mix with your samples, load, run, and visualize. It includes tracking dyes to monitor electrophoresis progress and is designed to reduce steps while delivering strong band visibility.
- Pre-mixed loading dye: mix with samples before loading
- Supports DNA and RNA visualization and gel tracking during the run
- Non-toxic, non-mutagenic, non-carcinogenic, non-hazardous.
- Sensitivity comparable or better than EtBr. Clear, sharp bands.
- Easy to handle and integrate into existing lab workflows.
- Can be imaged using a UV transilluminator with an EtBr
DNA detection - Better Sensitivity than EtBr
The sensitivity of DNA detection of RedStar is comparable or even better than the sensitivity of EtBr.
DNA detection - Better efficacy than Supplier A
Gel analysis of serial 1kb ladder. RedStar shows superior resolution and an enhanced migration pattern compared to similar loading dye product (Supplier A).
RedSafe™ Nucleic Acid Staining Solution (20,000×)
A safer alternative to Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) for agarose gel staining.
RedSafe™ is built for DNA or RNA detection in agarose gels and is designed to be easy to integrate into existing lab routines—supporting clear, sharp bands with sensitivity comparable to (or better than) EtBr.
- For DNA & RNA detection in agarose gels
- At least as sensitive as EtBr
- Non-toxic, non-mutagenic, non-carcinogenic, non-hazardous
- Flexible staining: add to gel before casting or use post-staining
- Compatible with UV or blue-light imaging (with appropriate filters)
The sensitivity of DNA and RNA detection with RedSafe Nucleic Acid Staining Solution (20,000x) under UV transmission is comparable to the known sensitivity of EtBr: (genomic DNA (top), DNA (middle), RNA (bottom).
