TransGen Biotech

TransGen Biotech, Inc. is a researcher, developer, manufacturer and distributor of more than 200 molecular and cellular biology products and kits for life science research and molecular diagnostics. In 2001, the company was founded by three scientists with a mission to produce innovative and cost-effective products for life science research. 

Currently, our products cover: plasmid based DNA markers, high efficiency chemically competent cells, 5 minutes PCR product cloning and expression vectors, a variety of PCR enzymes and supermix, RNase H deficient and high temperature RT enzymes, qPCR and qRT-PCR supermix, the highest efficiency mutagenesis kits, high quality nucleic acid extraction and purification kits, unstained and prestained protein markers, western blot markers, and protein purification resins, cell culture and transfection reagents, antibodies. 
 
 
Mix for probes

Mix for probes

Real-time quantitative PCR based on fluorescent probes relies on the specific detection of a sequence of a desired PCR product. Unlike methods based on SYBR green that detect all double-stranded DNAs, quantitative PCR using probes uses a fluorescently labeled specific probe, resulting in increased specificity and sensitivity. In addition, a variety of fluorescent dyes are available so that several primers can be used to simultaneously amplify many sequences.

Quantitative PCR using fluorescent probes is therefore ideal for high-throughput studies. The ready-to-use mixes contain all the necessary components for qPCR, simply add fluorescent detection probes, primers and DNA to be amplified.

Many fluorescent sources based on primers and probes for qPCR have been designed, including:
  • Hydrolysis Probes (TaqMan)
  • Molecular markers
  • Dual Hybridization Probes (FRET)
  • Eclipse Probes
  • Amplifluor assays
