With the products of over 400 manufacturers in our portfolio there is hardly a thing that we cannot supply!
We are able to supply You with a variety of ready-to-use kits for different immunoassays (ELISA, RIA, IFA, Western Blot), as well as separate components (microplates with or without different types of coating and with different binding affinity, buffers, antibodies, antigens to be used as positive controls and many more). In our portfolio You can find thousands of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies for various antigens, with or without conjugates, suitable for a wide range of applications, including flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, etc. With us You can also order and buy antibodies that are custom made especially for your needs.
GENTAUR is your ally also in studies on Genomics – we can supply ready-to-use PCR for detecting different types of mutations, parasites, pathogens, etc. With our kits for DNA/RNA extraction your results are guaranteed! Simple and user friendly protocols will save your time and increase the yield of the desired molecule. We provide not only standard kits for genomic or total DNA isolation or total RNA isolation, but also kits that are specifically designed for mitochondrial DNA/RNA isolation, viral DNA/RNA isolation, bacterial DNA/RNA isolation, plasmid isolation (small, medium and large plasmids), kits for extraction of DNA/RNA from plant parts or cells and other tough samples. We also provide a variety of libraries of cDNA, miRNAs, siRNAs, etc. from different organisms.
GENTAUR can also support You in your work in Proteomics. We provide kits for protein extraction and purification from various sources, recombinant and native proteins and peptides with or without tags, total protein extracts and cell lysates, etc. Our superior equipment for electrophoresis and highly specific protein dyes will make sure that not a single band remains unnoticed.
GENTAUR provides various cell lines (tumor, native, hybridoma, IPSC,ect. ), media and supplements (sera or fully chemically defined) for cell cultures, 3D matrixes (collagen based and fully synthetic). We can support You in your transgenic studies with our ORF lentivectors, adenovirus vectors, plasmids, YACs, transfection factors, reagents and supplements, competent cell lines, etc. In terms of equipment we can offer incubators, cell counters, flow cytometers and the unique Kronos-Dio that allows you observe gene expression in real time, while incubating your cells.
For microbiology laboratories we can provide agar, broth, peptones and media with different modifications including antibiotics and bacteria lines with various mutations. We also supply separately ultrapure antibiotics from the EvoPure brand.
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has proven its usefulness as a method in various fields of the research and diagnostics. We are here to support you with everything that you need to perform a PCR – from filtered tips, through the separate components and full ready-to-use kits to cyclers. Here You can find premixes with different optimization, with or without dyes, mastermixes for Conventional, Real Time and Reverse Transcription (RT) PCR, DNTPs (standard or modified), Hot start and conventional Taq polymerase, Pfu DNA polymerase and more.
We offer you the largest choice of immunoassays for research purposes and for diagnostics (veterinary and human). We provide kits for Direct & Indirect ELISA, Competitive ELISA, Sandwich ELISA, IFA & RIA for Human, Mouse, Hamster, Goat, Fish, Rabbit, Guinea Pig, Rat, Sheep, Horse, Dog, Chicken, Bovine, Monkey, & many more antigens.
Our colorimetric assay kits are irreplaceable tools for qualitative and quantitative determination of various organic and inorganic molecules and enzymes. They guarantee accuracy, time and cost efficiency and have user friendly working protocols. Our kits will be helpful in studies on oxidative stress, enzyme activity, metabolism, cation & anion, blood/urine chemistry, signal transduction. GENTAUR brings to you the top assay lines EnzyChrom & QuantiChrom.
Whether you work with bacteria or with animal cell lines (including hybridomas) we can provide You with a large choice of media with various modifications and media additives (both serum based and fully synthetic) for optimal results. Here You will also find bacterial strains, various agar media, pure agaroses, peptones, identification reagents.
