Cambio, distributor of high-quality life science products in the UK, is able to supply its customers with a selection of reagents by Microzone.
MegaMix, microLYSIS® and MicroCLEAN are each specifically designed as convenient and efficient solutions for PCR, DNA release and DNA clean-up respectively. By incorporating these reagents into their procedures, life scientists can save time that would otherwise be spent creating their own mixes, as well as reducing risk of contamination. Thanks to their standardised formulation, the Microzone reagents also dramatically increase the reproducibility of DNA amplification, giving researchers the upmost confidence in their methods, and therefore their results...
Supplied in the UK by Cambio and produced by Epicentre® (an Illumina company), the TotalScript™ RNA-Seq kit is a low-input library preparation kit.
This kit enables researchers to quickly create high complexity RNA-seq libraries from as little as 1 – 5 ng of intact total RNA, without the need for ribosome RNA removal or Poly(A) encrichment. The rapid, 5-hour procedure dramatically reduces the amount of time spent creating sample libraries, and the flexible protocol can be adapted to match researchers’ desired rRNA content and transcript coverage...

Cambio now supplies UK life scientists with the new Globin-Zero™ Gold Kit from Epicentre. This innovative product is used to clean up excess globin mRNA and rRNA in total blood RNA samples, allowing improved identification and sequencing of the target RNA components
Globin-Zero™ Gold Kits efficiently remove abundant globin RNAs from both intact and degraded human, mouse and rat total blood RNA samples. In these samples, as much as 70% of the mRNA can be globin mRNA, and this would account for a large majority of sequencing reads in RNA-Seq experiments. By removing excess RNA, the Globin-Zero™ Gold Kit enables deeper sequencing into blood RNA samples and improved identification of less abundant RNA types, including viral RNA. Complete in just 90 minutes, the rapid, single-pass process saves time and reduces sample waste compared to common multi-step procedures, which require the use of various kits to complete the same task....
