Explore our “Getting Started” and Troubleshooting sections for solutions to the top inquiries and common problems related to your protein-nucleic acid interaction experiments. Browse through our “Guides and Tools” section to access a comprehensive portfolio of product-related support resources.
Getting Started
- What is an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA)?
- How does the LightShift™ Chemiluminescent EMSA assay work?
- What is a “supershift” assay?
- Is there a limit to the length of target DNA I can use with the LightShift™ Chemiluminescent EMSA kit?
- What is the difference between the Agarose ChIP Kit (Cat. No. 26156) and the Magnetic ChIP kit (Cat. No. 26157)?
Troubleshooting
- What should I do if I don't see a shift with the LightShift Chemiluminescent EMSA assay?
- I am using the Lightshift™ Chemiluminescent EMSA kit and am getting non-specific bands. How do I reduce or eliminate these bands?
- What causes speckling/spots on the blot in a Lightshift™ Chemiluminescent EMSA assay?
- How can I prevent RNA degradation in the Magnetic RNA-Protein Pull-Down Assay?
- I got no recovery of the RNA-binding protein when I used the Magnetic RNA-Protein Pull-down Kit. What should I do?

Custom services
Bulk and Custom Protein Biology Products
Partner with us to scale up your process or product development pipeline with bulk quantities of high-quality immunoassay reagents and biochemicals. We offer a variety of compounds, devices, and resins for your large-scale applications. Whether you are developing an assay for commercialization, constructing a large screening assay for in-house use, or requiring high-purity reagents for your manufacturing process, we can provide consistent quality in milligram to kilogram quantities manufactured under ISO 9001 processes. Complete our bulk and custom products request form to get your project started.
Protein Expression and Production Services
Have us utilize our extensive suite of expression vectors and host systems to deliver the necessary protein yield for your application. We offer protein expression and production services in baculovirus and mammalian host systems, as well as protein purification and analysis services.
GeneArt™ Cell Lines and Proteins
GeneArt™ Cell Lines and Proteins are a suite of service offerings designed to help facilitate protein expression in mammalian cell lines. We can help with every step of the process, including gene design, synthesis, cloning, protein production, and even stable cell generation. Alternatively, we can help with just the parts of the process you request.
