Molecular Assay Reagents
Asuragen also provides a catalog of molecular assay reagents to assist in various capacities, including sample transport, sample stability, and product development.
TSM III
TSM III is a buffered solution ideally suited for the dilution of Asuragen’s Armored products. The additives provide stability to the protein-coated nucleic acid through multiple freeze-thaws when stored properly, allowing for more flexible and scalable testing processes.
Composition: 10 mM Tris, 100 nM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1% Gelatin, 0.3% Microcide III, pH 7.0
To learn more about TSMIII, please contact us here.
RNAretain
RNARetain® is a single-use, prefilled container intended for the collection, storage, and transportation of fresh breast tissue specimens for subsequent RNA isolation and further molecular diagnostic testing. The collection of fresh tissue specimens into the RNARetain device eliminates the need to immediately process these specimens, enabling RNA extraction and molecular testing at a later time and/or transport to a different location.
FFPE Tumor Bank
Understanding oncology frequently requires us to interrogate archival samples. At Asuragen, we own a unique tumor bank of >100,000 clinical specimens. These specimens span over 100 discrete cancer types across all major classes including melanoma, ovarian, breast, colon, and non-small-cell lung cancers. Our specimens are formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues, the majority of which are coupled with full histologic and demographic information.
Our large repository of pathology specimens is routinely used for the development and validation of our own portfolio of products and laboratory services and is commercially available for discovery, biomarker research, and diagnostic development.
Tissue samples may be subject to availability. To inquire about inventory, please complete this form and a representative will contact you shortly.
