Agencourt Bioscience Corporation provides genomics services and nucleic acid purification reagents to biotech and pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions and government facilities. The discovery phase of drug development is costly and inefficient. Approximately one third of drugs fail during Phase I clinical trials and about 75 percent fail during clinical tests...
Minneapolis-based Digital River Inc. said it plans to buy Aliso Viejo-based Commerces Inc. in a $45 million deal. Digital River is set to pay $32.4 million to Commerces and assume debt of $12.6 million as part of the deal. Commerce5 executives also will be granted Digital River shares if performance...
Beckman Coulter Inc. has made its first deal under new Chief Executive Scott Garrett.. Fullerton-based Beckman Coulter said last week that it was spending up to $140 million to buy biotechnology company Agencourt Bioscience Corp. of Beverly, Mass. Agencourt, which is privately held, provides genomic services and nucleic...
Isopure is based on Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization SPRI technology and expands Agencourt's line of magnetic bead-based kits to include isolation of genomic DNA. The reagent purifies genomic DNA from buccal cells collected either by cheek swab or mouthwash formats for downstream applications, such as PCR....
Agencourt Bioscience Corp. has introduced a Primer Walking Sequencing Service for individual samples. Primer Walking, an established product within Agencourt's high throughput pipeline, is now available to low throughput users. Researchers can submit single samples for sequencing of PCR amplicons, plasmid inserts or entire plasmids...
RNAClean reagent system (Agencourt Bioscience Corp.) purifies nucleic acids from a number of enzymatic reactions including antisense RNA amplification, cDNA synthesis, in vitro transcription, and cDNA and RNA labeling reactions. Based on Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI[R]) technology, RNAClean expands Agencourt's suite of magnetic bead-based...
CosMCPrep[TM] is an SPRI[TM]-based plasmid purification system that isolates varous high- and low-copy number templates. Plasmid DNA is selectively bound to paramagnetic microparticles, allowing automated, filtration-free purification. CosMCPrep isolates up to 1 [micro]g of high-quality plasmid from as little as 800 [micro]l of overnight culture....
AMPure[R] is a SPRI[TM]-based PCR purification system that efficiently purifies amplicons as small as 100 bp. PCR amplicons are selectively bound to polystyrene paramagnetic microparticles, thus eliminating the high background and lower yields of silica-based magnetic beads. AMPure yields high-quality PCR amplicons using a simple, ...
CleanSEQ[R] magnetic bead-based dye-terminator removal system provides a three-step protocol requiring no centrifugation or filtration steps. CleanSEQ uses proprietary SPRI[TM] chemistry to selectively bind sequencing products onto high-quality paramagnetic microparticles, enabling simplified removal of salts and unincorporated nucleotides, primers, and dye-terminators. CleanSEQ produces quality sequencing...
An expanded SNP discovery service has been launched for pre validated sequencing assays of kinases, genes implicated in many human diseases. This company has signed a licensing agreement with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for the sequencing assays developed in the laboratories of cancer researchers Matthew Meyerson,...
