Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc

Bio-Rad offers a wide selection of easy to use cell viability assays for determining the cell health of fixed and unfixed cells via flow cytometry and cell sorting experiments. I normally use their 7-AAD solution, which can be added directly to the samples. It helps to bypass traditional manual weighing, pipetting, and dilution steps when assessing cell health during flow cytometry. It’s cut down the processing time by half.

Strengths: Life Science Research, Flow Cytometry, PCR, Chromatography, PCR

Needs to improve: Pricier for their ready to use items, but it does make my job easier

My company uses Bio-Rad when we need work done for life science research, specifically for their TGX stain free acrylamide kits. Our firm placed a small order for our research and testing department and got great results. The product quality was superb and the customer service team were top notch and always available despite us being a small contract. The data yielded were accurate and provided us with the information we need to move forward with our prototype. Though pricing can improve.

Strengths: Industry expertise, short lead times, high quality results

Needs to improve: Pricey
