Brands
Applied Biosystems provides equipment for researchers in genotyping and genetic analysis, forensic DNA, food testing and animal health, pharmaceutical purification and analytics, PCR, flu virus research, stem cell research, and laser capture microdissection.
Ambion is the primary brand within Life Technologies for work involving RNA. It includes products for isolation, detection, quantification, amplification, and characterization. Ambion also provides specific kits for different types of RNA research based on the sample type (bacteria, tissue, cell, yeast, blood etc.) and type of results desired.
Gibco provides materials for research and biologic drug production, including cell culture products, reagents, cell culture bags, and growth factors.
Invitrogen provides products and services for work involving DNA and biology. They offer more than 25,000 products and services that support research in fields such as genomics, drug discovery, proteomics, and cellular analysis.
Molecular Probes provides fluorescent labeling and detection. It is used by cell biology labs, nanotechnology research labs, and antibody production facilities.
Novex provides protein reagents and consumables for the purification, separation, quantitation, and analysis of proteins, including SDS-PAGE gels, stains, standards, antibody technologies, and Western blotting products.
Ion Torrent is the first commercial ion semiconductor DNA sequencing system. It uses proprietary semiconductor sensors to perform real-time measurement of the hydrogen ions produced during DNA replication. A high-density array of wells on the ion semiconductor chips provides millions of individual reactors while integrated fluidics allow reagents to flow over the sensor array. This combination of fluidics, micromachining, and semiconductor technology enables the direct translation of genetic information (DNA) to digital information (DNA sequence) that makes the Personal Genome Machine Sequencer.

Famous quotes containing the word brands:
“Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The “marketing” immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“On the other side, the conservative party, composed of the most moderate, able, and cultivated part of the population, is timid, and merely defensive of property. It vindicates no right, it aspires to no real good, it brands no crime, it proposes no generous policy, it does not build, nor write, nor cherish the arts, nor foster religion, nor establish schools, nor encourage science, nor emancipate the slave, nor befriend the poor, or the Indian, or the immigrant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Helios makes all things right:
night brands and chokes
as if destruction broke
over furze and stone and crop.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
