Bio-sample Products

Liquid Biopsy Products

Liquid Biopsy is a minimally invasive test done on a sample of blood to look for circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the blood or for cell free DNA from tumor or fetus cells that are in the blood. A liquid biopsy may be used to help find cancer at an early stage or conduct non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPT). Biochain offers a wide range liquid biopsy products including reagents, kits and tools to empower your research. cfPure® Cell Free DNA Extraction Kit is one of their featured liquid biopsy products. It is a magnetic bead-based DNA extraction kit designed to isolate circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA) from human plasma and serum.

Automated Systems

Using their extraction expertise, BioChain has launched an automated nucleic acid extraction system to streamline your workflow. They have optimized the extraction protocols and reagents to increase yield and purity. This system isolates DNA and RNA from multiple type of samples: blood, cell, tissue, FFPE, saliva, swab, and more.

Epigenetics & NGS

BioChain offers microRNA and mRNA sample library construction kits to allow fast and cost-effective NGS sequencing. Their kits have the following advantages: (1) streamlined workflow process; (2) reduced cost of reagents; (3) easy to use, all-in-one kit. With these features, their kit enhances productivity by shortening the time required for library preparation and decreases the potential human error rate since the hands-on time for sample preparation is reduced. Biochain also offers other Epigenetics & NGS reagents.

Kits & Reagents

BioChain offers a wide variety of molecular biology kits for DNA, RNA, and Protein extractions. They focus on non-radioactive kits for measuring blood/urine chemistry, popular enzyme activities, and oxidative stress. In addition BioChain offers a variety of ELISA kits, PCR related kits, and reagents.

Tissue

Biochain offers an extensive collection of human tissue samples in the forms of  blocks, slides, frozen tissue arrays, and FFPE tissue arrays for human normal, diseased, and tumor tissue types.

DNA

BioChain provides a spectrum of DNA products that are derived from various organ systems and tissues of the human body with different developmental stages and disease conditions. DNA materials extracted from different species of plants and animals are also available. In addition to the biospecimen DNA products, BioChain also offers DNA extraction, purification, and analysis reagents and kits.

RNA

BioChain provides the RNA products that are used for various genomic researches, such as gene expression, microarray, transcriptomics, and RNA sequencing. In addition to the ready-to-use RNA products, they also offer the extraction, purification, analysis reagents, enzymes, and kits.
