Microarray Labeling Kits and Components for Array Genomic Profiling

More Correct Calls With Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratios

Life Technologies BioPrime labeling systems enable reliable and consistent genomic DNA labeling and efficient removal of free dye and nucleotides. And because results obtained using these reagents exhibit improved signal-to-background and reduced channel bias, you can count on greater accuracy.

Which BioPrime system is right for me?

The BioPrime Total aCGH reagents offer various configurations to allow for optimal performance on arrays based on premier enzymes, primers, dyes, and purification systems. For two-color array CGH and ChIP-on-chip experiments, we recommend the BioPrime Total Genomic Labeling system. The BioPrime Total Genomic Labeling system allows for the lowest starting input material, includes application-optimized dye-labeled nucleotides (with Alexa Fluor 3 and Alexa Fluor 5 dyes), and is the simplest, easiest-to-use kit in the product family. For researchers who wish to use other dyes, we offer BioPrime aCGH Genomic Labeling systems without dyes—this allows you to take advantage of the higher-performance enzymes and reagents in our BioPrime kits to deliver superior yield and better total dye incorporation.
