Polymerases facilitate the duplication of deoxyribonucleotides into new and identical DNA strands. Using one strand of RNA or DNA as a template, polymerases are able to transcribe (RNA) or replicate (DNA) the target nucleic acid, resulting in identical copies. An early pioneer in both human and non-human polymerase research, MBR produces a variety of DNA/RNA polymerases for customers working in various investigative fields in the life science industry.

Nucleic acid modifying enzymes provide the foundation for a vast number of essential techniques in molecular biology. These enzymes are used to synthesize, degrade, join or remove portions of nucleic acids in controlled and generally defined manner. Molecular biology research requires the use of high purity reagents and chemicals to ensure accurate results. MBR’s nucleic acid modifying enzymes are quality tested to ensure the highest level of purity and the lowest level of endogenous proteins, DNA or RNA. Extensive contaminant assays, unit activity assays, and specific functional assays are performed at critical stages of production to ensure the highest quality!

Restriction endonucleases cut strands of DNA at particular recognition sites in order to isolate specific genes. In addition to gene isolatation, they also facilitate cloning as well as protein expression. More specifically, restriction endonucleases recognize specific palindromic sequences and cleave a phosphodiester bond on each strand at that sequence. After digestion with a restriction endonuclease the resulting DNA fragments can be separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and their size can be estimated.

MBR custom produces and packages kits in ready-to-use spin format that guarantee rapid and efficient isolation of ultrapure nucleic acids. Our nucleic acid purification kits yield biologically active, high quality nucleic acids as a result of our unique chemical compositions and custom prepared spin columns.

In addition to our line of DNA Ladders and Size Standards, MBR also custom manufactures DNA Markers. The following is a sample list of ladders and size standards currently offered by MBR, along with size ranges each covers:

MBR provides various cloning and detection products we like to call specialty reagents. These also include cloning and mutagenesis products as well as companion products such as buffers and NTPs/dNTPs.
