The American company 101bio is a long-term business partner of GENTAUR MOLECULAR PRODUCTS and a leading manufacturer of a wide range of products for isolation and extraction of exosomes and exosomal biologically active molecules (RNA and proteins) from different samples – cell cultures, serum, urine, body fluids, etc.

Pure Exo kits are the best and most cost effective choice to obtain a high yield of purified exosomes (>95%) easily from small volumes of cell cultures and serum without ultra-centrifugation. Another exosome related product line is the Exo Fectin kits used for integration of miRNA and siRNA into exosomes that leads to efficient gene delivery. There is also an easy-to-use cell transfection kit for efficient import of siRNA to cells by using the nanoparticle-based method with only one incubation step for 15 minutes. 101 bio’s exosome standards isolated from normal human serum and patient with breast cancer are perfect model for your research on possible ways of cancer gene therapy by exosome-based delivery of therapeutic siRNA to the target cells.

Another suitable model for therapeutic transplantation studies are Human Neural stem cells (hNSCs) which are able to consistently proliferate without differentiating to neural lineages. The laboratory facility has also developed a product line for fast extraction of proteins from samples like animal and plant tissue, bacterial cultures in short time and a very precise protein extraction from cell organelles (mitochondria, nucleus, chloroplasts etc.) These kits are perfectly suitable for highly purified protein collection from small volumes of the samples of interest. The extracted proteins can be used for different proteomics studies (LC/MS), IP, ELISA, 2D-gel analysis, isoelectric focusing, SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting and other applications. 101 bio has recently presented on the market a new product for DNA purification, much cheaper than the commercial available methods available so far. This new generation of highly efficient magnetic beads are compatible with almost all available instruments and protocols and can purify DNA in 15 minutes.

The R&D service is focused on the development of Lenti-and Retrovirus kits for enhancement of these viruses lentivirus packaging efficiency. A new cell matrix Col-Tgel has been designed for cell attachment and allows customizing matrix components by additional extracellular matrix, growth factors, cytokines, and/or hormones for optimizing 3D cell culture. This user friendly matrix can be handled at room temperature, fits to most cell types and is 30% cheaper than the similar products on the market. As an international company for distribution of life science reagents GENTAUR is committed to provide our customer with the best quality and service in the field of exosome isolation, protein extraction and virus particles-related operations.
