New & Events

We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new product, Topomize DNA Library Prep Kit.

MCLAB’s Topomize DNA Library Prep Kit is an Illumina compatible, fast and high quality DNA library construction kit for next generation sequencing. Instead of using traditional ligase-based methods, our kit uses TOPO technology to attach adaptors to fragmented DNA. The kit results in greater yield with no adaptor dimers or any chimeras formation. Based on propriety technology*, the Topomize DNA Library Kit provides unparalleled efficiency by cutting the workflow time in half**.

MCLAB is sponsoring the 22nd International Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference February 15-20, 2015 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. The Molecular Medicine Tri-Con serves as a fantastic opportunity for medical science researchers and health care providers to meet each other and share the newest advances in the frontiers of Oncology Clinical Development, Gene Editing, Clinical Cancer Immunotherapy, Oncology Genomics, Diagnostics and Information Technology.

We are proud to present our products at the Exhibit Session February 16-18. We sincerely invite you to the Exhibit Hall to learn about the newest products we have recently launched from real time PCR kits to next generation sequencing products.

For over 10 years, attendees of various life science conferences have gained insight and knowledge about how MCLAB's products facilitate their research through high quality standards and competitive pricing. Come take advantage of our multiple promotions for the New Year! Stop by our table and see how we can help with your research work and drive your project towards success.

Accurate quantification of the NGS DNA library is critical to ensure efficient data generation and high quality reads. It's a major frustration for current NGS users that the conventional qPCR based library quantification kits on the market often time generate inaccurate, inconsistent and variable results. The outcome of such incompetency of the generic reagents some time could be more disastrous than you think: data quality compromised, sequencing channel capacity wasted, project delayed, and so on so forth.

The newly launched MCNextTM SYBR® Fast qPCR Library Quantification Kit provides a fast and reliable solution to determine the library concentration with a direct estimate cluster density. It significantly saves time/resource for the NGS users by fundamentally changing the game: using a constructed library other than a single DNA fragment as the control standard with known cluster generation density on Illumina® sequencing platforms.  

Besides the innovation on the library standards, the kit is fast and easy to use, with 10-fold higher dynamic range comparing with the similar product from KAPA. The kit comes with one size (500 rxn) but 3 types (Regular ROX, Low ROX and Universal) to suit for all types of PCR instruments. Get your free sample kit today before it's all gone.

December 5, 2013 - Peichuan Zhang from UCSF is the winner of the 3rd Prize Draw of MCLAB's DNA sequencing promo. Dr. Zhang, an associate specialist in the laboratory of Dr. Cynthia Kenyon, has been working in the field of aging research for many years. His research has been focused on the study of lifespan regulation by the insulin/IGF-1 signaling system in C. elegans, and more recently, has shifted to looking for small molecules and interfering RNAs that extend healthy life in humans.

Peichuan, with the prize in his hand, talked about how the MCLAB services, including both DNA Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing, contributed to his high-throughput screen projects. "Fast, convenient, and reliable", said Dr. Zhang, "I am looking forward to having more productive collaborations with MCLAB in the near future."

MCLAB announced the winner of its 1st Prize Draw today as part of its DNA sequencing promotion. The winner Hyungwook Lim, Ph. D., a postdoctoral scholar working on mouse models for Histone Deacetylase related aging mechanism in Eric M. Verdin's laboratory at the J. David Gladstone Institutes of Virology and Immunology, UCSF, received the iPad Mini as his prize.

Dr. Lim expressed his excitement as the winner earlier today, and he commented that the prize is an extra reward for his long term relationship with MCLAB in addition to the superb services he receives. "I have never used any other DNA sequencing service as good as MCLAB. I find it always delivers quality service, with low cost and convenient sample collect system. I am happy with MCLAB," said Dr. Lim, "And I hope MCLAB could bring more reagents and services to us."
