ScienCell Research Laboratories, has recently announced it would be expanding its cell culture products to the gene expression profiling market. ScienCell, who prides itself on supplying unique primary cell types for nearly 20 years, will now supply qPCR array kits and individual primers to study gene expression profiles.

"We are glad to offer validated qPCR gene expression analysis products so that researchers can spend their time on more important aspects of their studies," said mastermind behind GeneQuery, Yongjiang Daniel Li, Ph.D. "Our team is dedicated to designing unique and quality qPCR array kits that are focused on primary cell development and functions, cancer research, hereditary diseases, and biomarker discovery."

Primary cells are increasingly used by researchers as an in vitro model of in vivo biological processes. As the leading primary cell provider, ScienCell now enables researchers to analyze gene expression variations using its customizable array kits and primers. ScienCell's library contains thousands of validated primers for gene expression analysis and its Ph.D. scientists can verify custom array kits and primers. One can chose a pre-designed array kit from 26 cell types and over 10 cell systems.

At the recent Society for Neuroscience 2016 Conference, ScienCell demonstrated how to quickly and accurately analyze the expression profiles of Schwann cell biology genes and received a warm reception from researchers.  The GeneQuery Human Schwann Cell Biology qPCR Array Kit covers aspects such as maturation, differentiation, myelination and plasticity.

The relevancy of the genes selected for GeneQuery are exemplified by a recent peripheral nervous system study showing the importance of the tumor suppressor gene NF2/merlin, a gene included in the Schwann Cell Biology Kit.

ScienCell Research Laboratories, provides over 260 human and animal primary cell types and over 70 different types of specialty media for experimental use worldwide. To complement the vast array of primary cells, ScienCell also offers molecular biology products, cell-based assay kits, stem cells products and GeneQuery qPCR array kits and primers for gene expression profiling.
