Greener Product Alternatives

Committed to Helping You Reduce Your Environmental Impact


As a premiere biotechnology company, we recognize that our first responsibility is to provide high-quality, high-performance products. Life Technologies is also committed to minimizing our footprint on the environment. Where possible, we believe it is our responsibility to provide you with greener product options, categorized according to the following areas of focus:
  • Less hazardous
  • Less waste; use of fewer resources
  • Energy efficient
  • Sustainable packaging
  • Sustainable disposal

Less Hazardous


Our less hazardous products meet one or more of the following criteria:
  • Is inherently less hazardous (health/physical) compared to preceding or comparable product
  • Reduces the need to use other hazardous materials
  • Is reformulated not to be hazardous for transport
  • Is less hazardous to dispose of than a preceding Applied Biosystems product

Less-Hazardous Products:
NA-Fluor™ Influenza Neuraminidase Assay Kit

NA-Fluor™ Influenza Neuraminidase Assay Kit
The NA-Fluor™ Influenza Neuraminidase Assay Kit provides a standardized protocol and validated reagents for conducting neuraminidase enzyme assays, including neuraminidase inhibitor susceptibility screening using the fluorescent MUNANA substrate.

NA-XTD™ Influenza Neuraminidase Assay Kit

NA-XTD™ Influenza Neuraminidase Assay Kit
The NA-XTD™ Influenza Neuraminidase Assay Kit is a next-generation chemiluminescence-based assay that provides a longer signal read-out compared to the first-generation NA-Star® Influenza Neuraminidase Inhibitor Resistance Detection Kit.

 

Fast and Power SYBR® Green Cells-to-CT™ Kits
Power SYBR® Green and Fast SYBR® Green Cells-to-CT™ Kits take you from cultured cells to real-time PCR results with the fastest, easiest, and most robust workflow available today. A breakthrough cell lysis and RNA stabilization technology completely eliminates the need for laborious and time consuming RNA purification.

TaqMan® PreAmp Cells-to-CT™ Kit

TaqMan® PreAmp Cells-to-CT™ Kit
Perform gene expression analysis directly from limited or small numbers of cultured cells without RNA purification. The protocol includes an intermediate amplification step (pre-amplification) between reverse transcription and real-time PCR in which cDNA is enriched for up to 100 gene targets of the user’s choice without amplification bias.

TaqMan® MicroRNA Cells-to-CT™ Kit

TaqMan® MicroRNA Cells-to-CT™ Kit
Featuring a unique method for lysing cultured cells while removing genomic DNA and preserving RNA integrity, the TaqMan MicroRNA Cells-to-CT Kit makes it possible to perform microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling directly from cultured cells without RNA purification.

TaqMan® Fast Cells-to-CT™ Kit

TaqMan® Fast Cells-to-CT™ Kit
Use Fast-cycling real-time PCR chemistry and instrumentation to perform gene expression analysis directly from cultured cells without RNA purification. Quickly and easily lyse cultured cells while removing genomic DNA (gDNA) and preserving RNA integrity.

Veriti™ 96-Well Fast Thermal Cycler

Veriti™ 96-Well Fast Thermal Cycler
The Veriti® 96-Well Fast Thermal Cycler delivers the proven reliability of Applied Biosystems 9600 and 9700 GeneAmp® PCR instruments. With the added control of VeriFlex™ Blocks, you have six independent temperature blocks providing precise control over your PCR optimization.

3500xL Genetic Analyzer

3500xL Genetic Analyzer
We set a new standard in capillary electrophoresis with the 8-capillary 3500 and 24-capillary 3500xL Genetic Analyzers. The 3500 8-capillary platform can run a wide variety of applications —including de novo sequencing and resequencing (mutational profiling)—as well as microsatellite analysis, MLPA™, LOH, MLST, AFLP® and SNP validation or screening.
