More Savings Than Ever

Saving money on supplies has never been more important !  Smart shopping for the most cost-effective products and Just-In-Time (JIT) ordering are two of the best ways to save. That's why we've found the following ways to Save you even more.

  • We've made our already attractive prices even more attractive;
  • We've reduced shipping costs; and
  • We've reduced turnaround time - even on custom orders.

In other words we've made it easier than ever for you to get the most cost-effective, high quality bead products- JIT- or whenever you want.

More New Product Options

  • In response to your requests, our range of Magnetic Bead has gotten wider.  It now includes the following derivatives- for any size bead - and at prices which are unmatched anywhere :
  1. Aminoethyl  
  2. Carboxymethyl
  3. Iminodiacetic (IDA)

  • This  pictorial illustration illustrates how one can quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively  achieve dramatic magnetic bioseparations.
    • New, Monodisperse (10-15 um) Beads :

                   In our specialty bead category, we now offer polyglucan beads which are available underivatized or derivatized in any one of the following ways:

    1. Crosslinked
    2. Aminoethyl
    3. Glyoxal
    4. Carboxymethyl
  •  Also : Carrageenan ( i.e. naturally sulfated ) Beads, having a known sulfate sterochemistry ( vs. random sulfates like chemically derivatized sulfate beads (SP) from other suppliers) and a long history of having an affinity for :

    • substances that bind heparin(s),
    • virus particles (incl. HIV)
    • various enzymes like reverse transcriptase
    "Sphere Power"

            In times like these, we could all use a good, gratuitous back massage, right ?  So all BioScience Bead orders- until further notice- will be filled with a FREE 5-Sphere Massager. It's 5 spheres will remind you that if 5 spheres can be so helpful- imagine what MILLIONS can do !  That's how many spherical beads there are in each milliliter of SEC, Affinity, Ion Exchange or other 50-150 um BioScience Agarose Beads.  So let Sphere Power help you on all "fronts" .......and your back too !


    Eastern Analytical Symposium
    (November 2009)
     
    • We will be presenting a comparison of magnetic affinity beads vs. HPLAC ( high pressure liquid affinity chromatography) - showing the dramatic advantages of magnetic bioseparations.  Watch this space for further details and previews.
