Focus Topic

From cadmium to indium – a new generation of heavy metal-free quantum dots

EviFluors™ are activated quantum dots coupled to proteins, e. g. secondary antibodies, that can be used to advance a wide range of life science research and product applications. Possessing unique optical advantages of both multi-modal nanoparticles and fluorescent dye molecules, EviFluors™ are primarily characterized by bright fluorescence with larger extinction coefficients at lower wavelengths and greater photostability than traditional dyes. Easily excited using a single excitation source hundreds of nanometers away from the emission wavelength, EviFluors™ emit a sharp and symmetrical spectrum with excellent signal-to-noise ratio enabling a new quality of immunofluorescence experiments, in vivo imaging and multiplexing assays, flow cytometry, FRET or Western Blot studies. Next to the classical CdSe/ZnS, 2nd generation cadmium-free InGaP/ZnS EviTags™ and EviFluors™ are available at MoBiTec. Based on Evident’s proprietary surface design, EviTags™ are functionalized with various reactive groups (e.g. amino- or carboxyl groups). Ready-to-use EviFluors™ conjugated to a wide variety of secondary antibodies and proteins such as biotin, streptavidin or protein A/G are available for various wavelengths.

DNA Labeling Kits
New product line for direct enzymatic incorporation of fluorescently labeled nucleotides into DNA by PCR, suitable for all typical DNA labeling applications such as FISH, microarray gene expression profiling, single molecule detection and other nucleic acid hybridization assays. The kits contain all reagents required for DNA labeling providing a highly efficient, easy-to-perform and rapid labeling procedure. The excellent stability and quantum yield of the fluorophores combined with a high incorporation rate of the dye-dUTP complex makes it the ideal choice for a broad range of fluorescence applications.

Protein Production in Bacillus megaterium

B. megaterium has proven to be an excellent alternative host to E. coli for heterologous gene expression. Unlike other bacilli strains, proteolytic degradation by alkaline proteases is avoided and no endotoxins are produced. The family of versatile and easy-to-handle tools for stable and high-yield protein production in B. megaterium has again been extended by a set of vectors coding removable tags for convenient protein purification. Note that all B. megaterium vectors are now available world-wide. Read more
