Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) is a glycoprotein receptor for hyaluronic acid, which plays a fundamental role in cellular adhesion, stromal binding, migration, and cell-cell interactions. Studies have suggested that the CD44-hyaluronate interaction is central to tumor invasiveness. Positive staining with Anti-CD44 is implicated in a multitude of different cancer types, including breast, prostatic, renal cell, colonic, hepatocellular, and genitourinary carcinomas, as well as Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, metastatic melanoma, gastric cancer, and some soft tissue tumors. It has also been demonstrated that there is a positive correlation between tumor progression and increased expression of CD44v, a high molecular weight CD44 isoform that has been described in epithelial cells. Given the expression of CD44 in a wide range of cancers, the most practical application of CD44 immunostaining is its use in discriminating between urothelial transitional cell carcinoma in situ from non-neoplastic changes in the urothelium.

PACE (PCR Allelic Competitive Extension) genotyping chemistry is a homogeneous, PCR-based allele-specific technology for the analysis of DNA sequence variants, most commonly SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) and Indels (insertion / deletions).
PACE genotyping chemistry is comprised of two parts:
When combined with sample DNA, these components create a PACE Genotyping Reaction, as illustrated in the figure below.
We have extensive knowledge and experience in assay design, especially when it comes to allele-specific PCR. PACE Genotyping Assays are available to purchase either Validated and Unvalidated. Validated assays require customer DNA to validate and optimise, for guaranteed performance. Unvalidated assays are designed in silico and supplied untested.
RNA/DNA/Protein Purification Plus Kit
This kit provides a rapid method for the high throughput isolation and purification of total RNA, DNA and proteins sequentially from a single sample of cultured animal cells, small tissue samples, blood, bacteria, or yeast. The kit employs two columns: 1) for gDNA purification and 2) for RNA purification utilizing Norgen’s resin columns (superior for the binding of all RNA sizes including miRNA). The proteins are also purified on the second column after RNA elution. The proteins are eluted in buffer and are ready for downstream application without any further clean up required. The proteins can be quantified directly, used in western blots, ELISA or mass spectrometry. This kit provides a rapid spin-column method for the isolation and purification of total RNA, genomic DNA and proteins sequentially from a single sample of cultured animal cells, small tissue samples, blood, bacteria, yeast, fungi or plants.
RNA/DNA/Protein Purification Plus Micro Kit
This kit provides a rapid spin-column method for the isolation and purification of total RNA, DNA and proteins sequentially from a single sample of cultured animal cells, small tissue samples, microdissected samples including LCM, stem cells, sorted cells, and CTC. The total RNA, genomic DNA and proteins are all column purified in less than 30 minutes. The RNA and DNA can be eluted in as little as 20 µL while the protein can be eluted in as little as 50 µL. This kit provides the same performance as if the samples were isolated from dedicated kits.
RNA/DNA/Protein Purification 96-Well Plus Kit
The kit employs two plates: 1) for DNA purification and 2) for RNA purification utilizing Norgen’s resin (superior for the binding of all RNA sizes including miRNA). Please see the protocol schematic below.

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective.
Our Individual Access Peel Heat Seal is a laminate seal compatible with polypropylene plates, featuring 96 individual foil seal spots or 12 strips of individual spots on a removable backing.
These seals result in individually sealed tubes/strips, and they can be removed from polypropylene plates by peeling, even with a plate which has been removed directly from -80°C storage.
Individual Access Peel Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling very low temperature uses, including very low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid).
The seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature.
This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer (using the 59-2005 Individual Access adapter).
