Biochemicals

Biochemicals directly impact the quality and reproducibility of your results. Buffers, detergents, antibiotics, and substrates are indispensable for any laboratory. Each technique or workflow in molecular biology, cellular analysis, chromatographic separation, and protein detection requires specific biochemicals with specific characteristics. Our biochemicals are competitively priced, and backed by our superior customer service and commitment to quality.    

A close-up view of a blue-lit laboratory setting. The focus is on a small, glowing rectangular object that emits a pinkish-red light. The object is placed on top of another piece of equipment with a dark surface.
Agarose

We offer a wide range of agarose products with various gel strengths, melting temperatures, gelling temperatures, and electroendosmosis (EEO) levels to support your research applications.

An illustration of a cellular process. On the left side, the interior of the cell’s nucleus is depicted, with a segment of DNA unraveling and being transcribed into RNA. The RNA strand is shown exiting through a nuclear pore complex, represented as a purple structure with holes. On the right side, outside the nucleus, various stylized molecules and proteins in different shapes and colors indicate complex cellular activity. The background is white with soft shadows cast by the molecular structures.
Amino Acids

We have a comprehensive offering of high-purity amino acids and derivatives important to metabolomic pathways and protein structure for your research needs.

A close-up view of a chain of spherical purple objects against a blurred background of similar objects. The spheres are clustered together in a string-like formation, reminiscent of a molecular structure or bacteria chain. Each sphere has a textured surface, giving it a realistic appearance. The background consists of numerous smaller, out-of-focus spheres creating an impression of depth and multitude. There is a bright light source in the center background that illuminates the scene with a soft glow, enhancing the purple hue
