The specific analysis of cellular processes and conditions has 

played an increasingly vital role in cell biology. Monitoring reporter 

gene expression in cells, determining cell viability and 

proliferation, testing for cytotoxicity, and distinguishing live and 

dead cells are important procedures in most cell biology labs. 

Measuring intracellular signaling and assaying distinct cell metabolic 

activities have also become routine. These applications all 

require reliable, sophisticated, and user-friendly research tools.

1.1 Cell Viability and Proliferation Kits 

Applications 

Cell viability and proliferation assays 

Growth factor/cytokine assays 

Optimization of cell culture conditions 

Cell number determination 

Features 

Non-radioactive method 

Easy and fast procedure 

Reliable and reproducible results 

Appropriate for various multiwell 

formats and automation 

PromoKine offers several types of cell 

viability kits: The Fluorometric Cell 

Viability Kits I and II; the Colorimetric 

Cell Viability Kits I, II, III, and IV; and the 

Bioluminescent Cell Viability Kits I and II. 

Because all of the kits are designed for 

use with various multiwell formats, they 

are also suited for automation.

Fluorometric Cell Viability Kit I 

(Resazurin) 

The resazurin-based PromoKine Cell 

Viability Kit I provides a simple and rapid 

measurement of cell viability. Moreover, 

this single-step, homogenous cell pro-liferation 

assay is sensitive, safe, and costeffective. 

It only requires as few as 80 

cells for reproducible results. The redox 

dye Resazurin (also known as Alamar 

Blue) detects cell viability by converting 

from a non-fluorescent, blue dye to the 

highly red fluorescent dye resorufin in 

response to chemical reduction of the 

growth medium caused by cell growth. 

The fluorescent or colorimetric signal 

generated from the assay is proportional 

to the number of living cells in the 

sample. The kit reagents are nontoxic to 

cells and allow kinetic monitoring. While 

fluorometric resorufin quantitation is 

more sensitive, colorimetric measurement 

is also possible. 

Fluorometric Cell Viability Kit II 

(Calcein) 

The PromoKine Fluorometric Cell Viability 

Kit II is intended for the reliable 

fluorometric determination of viable cell 

numbers. It utilizes the cell membranepermeable, 

non-fluorescent dye Calcein- 

AM that is hydrolyzed by esterases to the 

cell membrane-impermeable green-fluorescent 

Calcein (Fig. 1). Since esterases 

are only active in viable cells, the amount 

of Calcein-AM hydrolyzed by cellular 

esterases is directly proportional to the 

number of viable cells in culture. The kit 

has a detection range from less than 50 

to more than 25,000 cells per well. 

Colorimetric Cell Viability Kits I 

(WST-8) and II (WST-1) 

The Colorimetric Cell Viability Kits I and 

II allow for easy and reliable colorimetric 

determination of viable cell numbers with 

excellent sensitivity and linearity. The kits 

utilize the tetrazolium salts WST-8 (Kit I) 

and WST-1 (Kit II) that are reduced to 

water-soluble, orange formazan dyes by 

dehydrogenases present in viable cells 

(see Fig. 2). The absorbance of the formazan 

dye is proportional to the number 

of metabolically active cells and can be 

measured directly from a 96-well plate 

without additional processing.

The PromoKine Colorimetric Cell Viability 

Kits III and IV have been developed 

for determining the number of viable 

cells in culture. They are based on the 

reduction of the tetrazolium salts XTT or 

MTT into colored formazan compounds 

by mitochondrial enzymes. Since these 

enzymes are inactivated shortly after 

cell death, this is a reliable method for 

the detection of viable cells. The absorbance 

of the formazan product can be 

measured directly from a 96-well plate 

without additional processing. 

In addition, PromoKine also provides 

high-quality tetrazolium salts for preparing 

custom cell assays including INT, 

MTT, XTT, and various WST salts such as 

WSt-8. Please visit our website to find 

the complete range of tetrazolium salts.

1.3 Cytotoxicity Kits 


Applications 

Cytotoxicity assays 

Chemosensitivity testing 

Toxicity screening 

Features 


Highly sensitive 


Compatible with common plate readers 

LDH Cytotoxicity Kit II 

The colorimetric LDH Cytotoxicity Kit 

II provides a fast, sensitive, and precise 

alternative to the radioactive [ 3 H]-thymidine 

and [ 51 Cr] release assays. It is based 

on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase 

(LDH), a stable cytoplasmic enzyme that 

is present in all cells. Damaged cells 

rapidly release this enzyme into the surrounding 

medium. LDH activity is determined 

by a coupled enzymatic reaction. 

It oxidizes lactate to pyruvate, triggering 

the conversion of the yellow tetrazolium 

salt WST into the water-soluble red formazan 

dye. 

The increase in the amount of formazan 

produced in culture medium can be 

analyzed spectrophotometrically and 

correlates directly to the increase in the 

number of lysed cells. 

The kit can be used for many different in 

vitro cell systems to quantify cytotoxicity 

and cytolysis.

Catalyst 

The bioluminometric AK Cytotoxicity Kit 

is based on the measurement of adenylate 

kinase (AK), a ubiquitous protein 

present in all cells that is rapidly released 

into the culture medium upon damage 

to the plasma membrane. The simple 

one-step procedure involves two chemical 

reactions. The adenylate kinase release 

from the damaged cells catalyses 

the conversion of ADP to ATP. The 

luciferase catalyses a reaction between 

the ATP, oxygen, and luciferin producing 

light. The light can be measured using a 

luminometer or beta counter. This highly 

sensitive assay allows rapid quantitation 

of plasma membrane damage for evaluation 

of cell death or cytotoxicity events, 

and it is well suited for automation and 

high throughput.

1.4 Senescence Detection Kit 

Applications 

Histochemical detection of senescent 

cells 

Cell senescence and oncology studies 

Features 

High sensitivity and specificity 

Compatible with common lab 

equipment 

Senescence is an arrested state in which 

the cells remain viable but are not stimulated 

to divide by serum or passage in 

culture. It is thought to be a tumor-suppressive 

mechanism and an underlying 

cause of aging. Senescent cells display an 

increase in size, senescence-associated 

expression of b-galactosidase (SA-b-Gal) 

activity, and altered patterns of gene 

expression. The PromoKine Senescence 

Detection Kit has been designed to histochemically 

detect a specific senescence 

marker (SA-b-Gal activity) in cultured 

cells and tissue sections. 

The specific histochemical marker is 

only present in senescent cells and is not 

found in presenescent, quiescent, or immortal 

cells.

Applications 

Detection of cellular structures 

Fluorescence microscopy/Flow 

cytometry 

Features 

High quality 

Thoroughly tested 


Fluorescent dyes offer extraordinary sensitivity 

and extended possibilities for the 

visualization and analysis of intracellular 

processes and cell structures such as the 

cell membrane, mitochondria, the nucleus, 

and the cytoskeleton. Some dyes 

are also suited for staining only viable 

or dead cells. That is an important feature 

for elucidating the effects of certain 

agents on cell viability. 

PromoKine provides a select choice of 

reagents for staining different cell organelles 

and structures as well as for 

determining processes like membrane 

potential changes. Some of these reagents 

are available as esters, which pass 

through the membranes of viable cells. 

Once inside, the ester group is hydrolyzed 

by cellular esterases, and the dye 

can accumulate in the cell. Some dyes 

are nonfluorescent in their ester form but 

fluoresce strongly when the ester group 

has been removed.

Fluorometric and Colorimetric GST 

Assay Kits 

Glutathione (GSH) is the major intracellular, 

low-molecular-weight thiol and plays 

a critical role in cellular defense against 

oxidative stress in tissues and cells. Glutathione 

S-transferase (GST) is involved 

in detoxification of xenobiotics mediating 

conjugation of glutathione with those 

compounds. 

The Fluorometric and Colorimetric GST 

Assays can detect GST activity in crude 

cell lysates or purified protein fractions 

and the kits also quantitate GST-tagged 

fusion proteins. They are based upon the 

GST-catalyzed reaction between GSH 

and the GST substrate CDNB (Colorimetric 

Kit) or MCB (Fluorometric Kit). 

CDNB has the broadest range of isozyme 

detectability (a-, µ-, f-, and other GST 

isoforms). Under certain conditions, the 

interaction between glutathione and 

Xanthine

- 

O 3 S 

CDNB is totally dependent on the presence 

of active GST. The detection limit 

is approximately 10 ng active GST/assay. 

The free form of MCB is almost nonfluorescent, 

whereas the dye fluoresces 

blue (Ex/Em = 380/461 nm) when reacting 

with glutathione. GST catalyzes the 

MCB-glutathione reaction, and the fluorescence 

levels are proportional to the 

amount of GST present in the reaction. 

Therefore, the GST level in samples can 

be easily detected using a fluorometer or 

a 96-well fluorometric plate reader.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of 

the most important antioxidative enzymes. 

The sensitive SOD Assay Kit 

utilizes WST-1 that produces a watersoluble 

formazan dye upon reduction 

with the superoxide anion. The rate of 

the reduction with a superoxide anion is 

linearly related to the xanthine oxidase 

(XOD) activity and is inhibited by SOD 

(Fig. 8). Therefore, the inhibition activity 

of SOD can be determined by a colorimetric 

method. 

Fluorometric and Colorimetric 

Nitric Oxide Kits 

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role 

in neurotransmission, vascular regulation, 

immune responses, and apoptosis. 

The Fluorometric and Colorimetric Nitric 

Oxide Assay Kits provide an accurate and 

convenient tool for total nitrate/nitrite 

concentration determination in a simple 

two-step process that can be used as a 

quantitative measure of NO production. 

The first step is the conversion of nitrate 

to nitrite utilizing nitrate reductase. The 

second step involves the addition of the

fluorometric reagent DAN followed by 

NaOH which converts nitrite into a fluorescent 

compound (Fluorometric Nitric 

Oxide Kits) or the addition of Griess Reagent 

which converts nitrite into a deep 

purple azo compound (Colorimetric 

Nitric Oxide Kits). Measurement of the 

fluorescent compound reaction product 

or azo chromophore accurately determines 

the total nitric oxide production. 

The Fluorometric Assay Kit has been 

validated with culture media, plasma, 

and tissue homogenates. 

HAT Activity Assay Kit 

Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) have 

been implicated in playing a crucial role 

in various cellular functions such as gene 

transcription, cell differentiation, and 

proliferation. 

The colorimetric HAT Activity Assay Kit 

offers a convenient, non-radioactive 

system for rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric 

detection of HAT activity in 

mammalian samples. The detection can 

be continuous and is suitable for kinetic 

studies. 

DNA Damage Detection Kit 

Different physiological and environmental 

factors such as chemically induced damage 

and cell aging cause DNA lesions. 

AP sites (apurinic/apyrimidinic sites) are 

one of the major types of DNA lesions 

formed during the process of base excision 

and repair of oxidized, deaminated, 

or alkylated bases. It has been estimated 

that about 2x10 5 base lesions are generated 

per cell per day. For this reason, the 

level of AP sites in cells can be a good 

indicator of DNA lesions and repairs. 

The PromoKine DNA Damage Detection 

Kit utilizes the ARP (Aldehyde Reactive 

Probe) reagent that reacts specifically 

with the aldehyde group in the open 

ring form of the AP sites. After treating 

DNA containing AP sites with ARP 

reagents, the AP sites are tagged with 

biotin residues, which can be quantified 

using an avidin-biotin assay followed by 

colorimetric detection. The kit provides 

the necessary reagents for convenient 

determination of abasic sites in purified 

DNA samples in a 96-well plate format.

Apoptosis 

2 

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a sophisticated process 

that involves an intricate series of biochemical events. Specific 

cell death signals are transduced by different biomolecules such 

as caspases, which initiate an apoptotic cascade. This process 

culminates in multiple events such as degradation of cellular 

proteins and chromosomal DNA, mitochondrial disruption, and 

changes in plasma membrane integrity.

2.3 Cytochrome c Apoptosis Detection Kit 

Applications 


Analysis of apoptotic signal cascades 

Features 



No toxic chemicals necessary 

Cytochrome c has been shown to play 

an important role in apoptosis. The protein 

is located between the inner and 

outer mitochondrial membranes. An 

apoptotic stimulus triggers the release 

of cytochrome c into the cytosol where 

it binds to Apaf-1. The cytochrome 

c/Apaf-1 complex activates caspase-9 

which then activates caspase-3 and 

other downstream caspases of the apoptotic 

cascade. 

The PromoKine Cytochrome c Apoptosis 

Detection Kit provides an effective means 

for detecting cytochrome c translocation 

from mitochondria into the cytosol during 

apoptosis. The kit is easy to use and 

provides unique reagents for separating 

a highly enriched mitochondria fraction 

from the cytosol. Cytochrome c released 

from mitochondria into the cytosol is 

then detected by Western blotting using 

the cytochrome c antibody provided in 

the kit. The procedure is very simple and 

straightforward. No ultracentrifugation 

is required, and no toxic chemicals are 

involved.

Applications 


Glutathione detection 

Quantitation of glutathione

Features 

Non-radioactive, highly sensitive 

method 



equipment 

Fluorometric Glutathione 

Detection Kit 

Diminished glutathione (GSH) levels 

occur at the early stages of apoptosis. 

The Fluorometric Glutathione Detection 

Kit provides a simple in vitro assay for 

detecting the GSH changes in apoptosis 

and other pathological processes. The 

assay utilizes a dye (monochlorobimane, 

MCB) that has a high affinity for glutathione. 

The unbound dye is almost nonfluorescent, 

whereas the dye fluoresces 

blue (excitation = 380 nm; emission = 461 

nm) when bound to reduced or oxidized 

glutathione. Consequently, the decrease 

in glutathione level in apoptotic cells can 

be easily detected using a fluorometer or 

a 96-well fluorometric plate reader. 

Colorimetric Glutathione 

Detection Kit 

The Colorimetric Glutathione Detection 

Kit provides a convenient colorimetric 

method for analyzing either total 

glutathione or only the reduced form 

of glutathione using a microtiter plate 

reader. The assay utilizes the glutathione 

recycling system with DTNB and glutathione 

reductase. GSH is regenerated 

from GSSG (oxidized glutathione) by 

glutathione reductase and reacts again 

with DTNB to produce yellow 2-nitro- 

5-thiobenzoic acid that can be detected 

spectrophotometrically at 412 nm (Fig. 

1). This recycling reaction dramatically 

improves the sensitivity of total glutathione 

detection. The kit can quantify total 

glutathione from 1-100 ng/well. For detecting 

lower glutathione concentrations, 

DTNB 

PromoKine’s Colorimetric Glutathione 

Reductase Activity Kit has been designed 

for measuring glutathione reductase 

(GR) activity in biological samples. It 

is highly sensitive and well suited for 

high-throughput. The assay is based on 

the GR-catalysed reduction of GSSG to 

GSH, which reacts with 5,5′-Dithiobis(2- 

nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) to generate 

the yellow TNB 2- . The kit can detect 

0.1 – 40 mU/ml GR in various samples. 

2-Nitro-5-thiobenzoic 

acid 

such as in blood samples, increasing the 

reaction time significantly improves the 

signal. The kit can also specifically detect 

the reduced form of glutathione (GSH) 

when glutathione reductase is omitted 

from the reaction mixture.

Minimal steric hindrance 

PromoKine provides aminoallyl-dUTP 

(deoxyuridine-triphosphate) conjugates 

for all PromoFluor dyes (see 3.1). The 

labeled nucleotides offer excellent properties 

with regard to signal intensity, 

water solubility, and stability. In addition, 

the low molecular weight of the dyes 

results in minimal steric hindrance and 

unproblematic incorporation into DNA 

using conventional enzymatic techniques 

like PCR/RT-PCR. Aminoallyl-dUTP can 

be incorporated into DNA by Taq polymerase, 

Klenow fragment, and reverse 

transcriptases. All PromoFluor labeled 

nucleotides are delivered as 1 mM readyto-use 

aqueous solutions.

Avidin and streptavidin have a very 

strong affinity for biotin with a dissociation 

constant of approximately 10-15 

mol/l. This is the highest known affinity 

between any protein and its ligand. Extensive 

chemical modifications have little 

effect on this affinity. 

Avidin is a tetrameric glycoprotein with 

a combined mass of approximately 67 

kDa. Due to its carbohydrate content 

and basic pI, avidin shows relatively high 

nonspecific binding. 

Streptavidin is a tetrameric 53 kDa protein. 

Since it lacks any carbohydrate 

modification and has a near-neutral 

pH, it has the advantage of much lower 

nonspecific binding than avidin. On the 

other hand, streptavidin is less water 

soluble than avidin. 

Ready-to-use avidin, streptavidin, and 

biotin conjugates of R-Phycoerythrin, 

B-Phycoerythrin, and Allophycocyanin 

are available. These ready-to-use conjugates 

are very useful second-step reagents 

for staining with biotinylated or 

streptavidin-coupled antibodies and can 

be used in (strept)avidin/biotin-labeling 

systems for flow cytometry, fluorescent 

immunoassays, immunohistochemistry, 

and immunofluorescence microscopy.

Features 

Significantly increased photostability 

Compatible with many common dyes 

Conserves cell preparations 

Convenient packaging 

Irreversible photobleaching processes 

lead to a loss of fluorescent signal sensitivity 

particularly when high intensity 

excitation light is used for a longer duration, 

and the target molecules in samples 

are in low abundance. PromoFluor Antifade 

Reagent significantly increases 

the photostability of fluorochromes in 

fixed cells, fixed tissues, and cell-free 

preparations. It is compatible with many 

common dyes and dye complexes resulting 

in prolonged signals and improved 

image contrast especially in multicolor 

applications. Moreover, it gently solidifies 

after the attachment of the cover 

slide, permanently conserving the cell 

preparation and fixing the coverslip. 

PromoFluor Anitfade Reagent makes 

slide immobilization using e.g. nail polish 

unnecessary. Samples can be saved for 

months after mounting, retaining fluorescence 

during prolonged storage. 

PromoFluor Antifade Reagent comes 

premixed in a convenient dropper bottle.

and Silencing 

Gene cloning is the process of making multiple copies of a defined 

DNA sequence. Since its establishment it has become a core technique 

in molecular biology, and it enables a wide array of biological 

experiments and practical applications. Amplifying DNA has also 

allowed the study of gene expression, including the examination of 

genetic information transcribed and translated into RNA and proteins. 

In contrast, gene silencing has also grown into an important 

technique for analyzing gene functions.

Multiple cloning site with most 

commonly-used restriction sites 

The pPK-CMV Expression Vectors contain 

a modified human cytomegalovirus 

(CMV) based promoter/enhancer sequence 

that has been optimized for high 

gene expression. Sequence motives that 

limit expression have been removed, 

while others that promote high expression 

levels have been retained. Consequently, 

these vectors yield significantly 

higher expression levels than other expression 

vectors such as pcDNA3.1 that 

are based on the standard CMV promoter. 

In addition, the plasmid backbones 

are optimized to allow for very small vector 

sizes and higher plasmid yields when 

amplified in E. coli. 

Three versions of the pPK-CMV Expression 

Vector are available: 

pPK-CMV-E1 does not have an expression 

tag. It is intended for expressing 

recombinant proteins in the native 

forms. pPK-CMV-E2 comes with an N- 

terminal HA (hemagglutinin) fusion tag. 

pPK-CMV-E3 comes with a C-terminal 

HA-fusion tag. The HA fusion tags allow 

easy detection and purification of proteins. 

All three Expression Vectors come 

with a positive control vector containing 

a CAT gene.

Cost-effective 

StarGate is a very efficient system for 

cloning, expressing, mutating, and fusing 

genes or gene fragments. It allows easy 

gene transfer among a variety of highlevel 

expression vectors, which have been 

optimized for diverse host systems. 

4.2.1 StarGate Combinatorial Cloning System 


and Silencing 

Efficient procedures for generating functional 

recombinant proteins or protein 

complexes are of key importance in stateof-the-art 

life sciences. A large range of 

tools such as different promoters, tags 

and host systems are available for expressing, 

purifying, detecting, or immobilizing 

recombinant proteins. 

Due to the diverse nature of proteins, it 

is impossible to predict which combination 

of these tools will perform best. 

PromoKine now provides the StarGate 

Combinational Cloning System to systemize 

and accelerate the initial search for the 

most successful tools. The StarGate system 

offers fast and convenient subcloning 

of an arbitrary target gene of interest 

in many different vectors, and it allows 

the systematic combination of promoters, 

tags, and other genetic elements. 

Moreover, an easy site-specific mutagenesis 

of this target gene is possible prior to 

subcloning it in the desired host-specific 

vector. 

The gene of interest is initially cloned into 

a Donor Vector to simultaneously fuse 

it with many different genetic surroundings 

via transfer into Acceptor Vectors 

to generate Destination Vectors. Each 

Acceptor Vector provides optimized conditions 

for the respective application, e.g., 

host-specific promoters, purification tags, 

or signal sequences for protein secretion 

into the culture medium. This allows for 

efficient expression of the target protein 

with useful features in different hosts. 

Because the Donor and Acceptor Vectors 

have extremely short combinatorial sites 

(4 bases only) and correlating features, 

the exact same protein sequence can be 

expressed in different hosts with minimal 

modification to the gene of interest.

After propagating the Donor Vector in E. coli the gene of interest can be subcloned 

into different Acceptor Vectors with the desired features, like host-specific promoters 

or specific tags. To create the Destination Vector the Donor Vector with the gene of 

interest is mixed with StarSolutions and the Acceptor Vectors. In a fast, one-tube combinatorial 

reaction, the PCR product is introduced in the respective Acceptor Vectors. 

The resulting Destination Vectors are then transformed into the corresponding host 

cells for further applications (e.g. protein purification). 

Right: E. coli clones harbouring the desired Destination Vector with the gene of interest 

can be easily detected using blue/white selection.

is ensured by a directed reaction. 

The StarGate technology also provides 

easy generation of fusion proteins and 

a versatile mutagenesis system with the 

StarPrimerD’Signer software. 

The ready-to-use kits contain all required 

components to subclone the gene of interest 

and - if desired - perform a preceding

different modes of target gene fusions.

Fig. 6: Principle of StarGate Fusion 

Cloning: The procedure starts with two 

StarGate Donor Vectors containing the 

genes or gene fragments to be fused. 

Through two separate subcloning reactions, 

the two target genes are transferred 

to the respective upstream Fusion 

Vector pNFUSE-IBA that contains the 

intergenic region (IRES, Shine-Dalgarno, 

or an amino acid linker) and to the common 

downstream Fusion Vector pC- 

FUSE-IBA11. This is done in a fast onetube 

combinatorial reaction and results 

in the generation of the Upstream and 

Downstream Fusion Vectors containing 

Gene 1 and Gene 2. After propagating 

the two vectors in E. coli the genes in the 

upstream and downstream fusion vectors 

are assembled in the Entry Vector 

(pENTRY-IBA-51). This is again done in 

a fast one-tube combinatorial reaction. 

The fused genes with the desired intergenic 

region are now ready to be subcloned 

into any of the StarGate Acceptor 

Vectors. If necessary, the procedure can 

be repeated to add more genes or gene 

fragments.

4.3 Gene Silencing 

4.3.1 GeneOFF shRNA Vector Kits 

Applications 

High-level expression of shRNA 

for gene silencing 

Features 

Simple vector design and linear vector 

format for quick and convenient 

cloning 

G418 resistance gene for selection of 

stable cell lines 

Small vector size for efficient 

transfection 

Available with GFP reporter gene to 

determine transfection efficiency 

The GeneOFF shRNA Vectors have been 

developed to efficiently induce RNA interference 

(RNAi) by expressing small 

hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) in vitro or in 

vivo which are able to suppress distinct 

target genes. This is achieved by cloning 

an shRNA coding sequence of 45-50 

nucleotides into an RNA polymerase III 

expression cassette. After transfection, 

the shRNA sequence is expressed as a 

fold-back stem-loop structure that is 

subsequently processed in the cell into 

functional siRNAs. The GeneOFF pPK- 

H1 and pPK-U6 shRNA Vectors contain 

the optimized U6- or H1-RNA polymerase 

III promoters, allowing optimal 

expression in a wide variety of cell types. 

All GeneOFF shRNA Vectors contain a 

neomycin resistance gene for convenient 

selection of stable cell lines. In addition, 

there are vector variants available which 

provide GFP reporter genes to allow 

easy tracking of vector transfection efficiency.

cleavage of these dsRNA templates into 

22-bp siRNAs by an ultra-active form 

of human Recombinant Dicer Enzyme. 

The kit contains sufficient reagents for 

generating a pool of small interfering 

RNAs (siRNAs) from up to 5 different 

genes and for 50 transfections in 24-well 

plates. It includes a T7 Transcription Kit 

for 5 transcription reactions, 50 units of 

Recombinant Dicer Enzyme, RNA purification 

columns and PromoFectin-siRNA

RNase inhbitor to protect siRNA from 

degradation. siProtect is non-toxic to 

cells and very stable under a broad range 

of siRNA transfection conditions. It is 

steril and free of DNases.

The ability to introduce foreign nucleic acids into eukaryotic 

cells has become a powerful tool in studying and controlling 

gene expression. Cloned genes can be transfected into cells for 

biochemical characterization, mutational analyses, investigating 

gene regulatory elements, and producing specific proteins. Cell 

transfection promotes the rapid advancement of our knowledge 

of genetic regulation and protein function.

PromoFectin 

PromoFectin is a series of reagents for 

highly efficient and reproducible transfection 

of a variety of adherent and 

non-adherent cells that can be used to 

transfect nucleic acids or proteins. PromoFectin 

comes either as a broad-range 

reagent or as specialized reagents for 

specific cell types and biomolecules. 

The standard, broad-range PromoFectin 

is a non-liposomal transfection reagent 

based on a water-soluble, cationic polymer. 

It is free of animal-derived components 

and shows very low cytotoxicity. 

PromoFectin ensures highly effective 

delivery of plasmids, oligonucleotides, 

and siRNA into a variety of adherent 

and non-adherent cell types with a high 

degree of reproducibility. Since its development, 

PromoFectin has been used 

successfully with many problematic cell 

lines and sensitive primary cells.

Magnet Assisted Transfection (MATra) is 

a very fast, easy-to-handle, and highly 

efficient technology for transfecting cells 

in culture. It can be used for cells from a 

broad variety of species. The major components 

of MATra are coated magnetic 

nanoparticles, which effectively bind either 

nucleic acids or liposomes. Using a 

special magnet plate, the nanoparticles 

with the bound nucleic acids or liposomes 

are rapidly drawn towards the cells and 

are deposited at a high concentration on 

the outer cell membrane. Afterwards, 

the cells endocytose the particles, which 

leads to a high transfection rate even 

with problematic cells.

The MATra technology is distributed for IBA GmbH, Germany. For research use only! 

Two approaches are possible: 

Magnet Assisted Transfection using 

MATra-A or MATra-siRNA Reagent. 

Magnet Assisted Lipofection using 

the MA Lipofection Enhancer and a 

lipofection reagent of choice. 

Both techniques can be used with adherent 

cells as well as with suspension cells. 

For suspension cells, the cells have to be 

immobilized at the bottom of the wells 

to make use of the magnetic field. This 

can be achieved by either temporarily 

immobilizing the cells with MATra-S Immobilizer 

or by using modified culture 

vessels. MATra is also suited for highthroughput 

transfection assays using 

adapted protocols.

MATra-A Reagent 

The MATra-A Reagent contains magnetic 

nanoparticles with an innovative 

polyelectrolyte coating, which effectively 

bind nucleic acids (e.g. plasmid DNA or 

oligonucleotides) by means of electrostatic 

interactions. Using this technique, 

nucleic acids are initially mixed with specifically 

coated magnetic nanoparticles. 

The magnetic particles loaded with the 

nucleic acids are then added to cells in 

culture and a strong magnetic force is 

applied beneath the cells. Exploiting this 

strong magnetic field, the full nucleic 

acid dose is rapidly drawn towards and 

delivered into the target cells on the bottom 

of the multi-well plate or cell culture 

flask. This results in very close contact 

between the cell membrane and the 

highly concentrated nucleic acid loaded 

magnetic complexes. MATra allows efficient 

transfection without disturbing 

the cell membrane architecture, causing 

chromosomal damage, or leaving a 

hole in the cell membrane as with other 

transfection technologies. The transfection 

rate consequently is clearly increased 

- also with difficult-to-transfect 

cells such as primary cells. In addition, 

the amounts of nucleic acids required 

for successful transfection can be significantly 

reduced, which in turn further 

reduces cytotoxicity.

The MA Lipofection Enhancer contains 

coated magnetic nanoparticles, which 

bind liposomes and any polycationic 

transfection reagents (e.g. PromoFectin) 

which in turn bind nucleic acids (e.g. 

plasmid DNA, oligonucleotides, siRNA). 

Using the MA Lipofection Enhancer, cells 

are transfected more efficiently than 

with liposomal or polycationic transfection 

reagents alone. 

MATra-S Immobilizer 

Suspension cells have to be made adherent 

first to perform Magnet Assisted 

Transfection (as well as many other conventional 

transfection procedures). The 

MATra-S Immobilizer contains coated 

magnetic nanoparticles, which bind 

suspension cells. Using a special magnet 

plate, the magnetic nanoparticles with 

the bound cells are rapidly drawn towards 

the bottom of the cell culture vessel, 

where they are immobilized. By combining 

the MATra-S Immobilizer with the 

other MATra reagents, suspension cells 

can be transfected conveniently.

5.3.1 GeneBooster 

Applications 

Enhancement of gene expression in 

transfected cells 

Features 

Up to 12 fold increased gene 

expression levels in diverse cell 

lines after transfection 

Compatible with all commonly used 

cell transfection reagents 

Fast and easy protocol 

Optimized conditions for popular 

cell lines 

Efficient for both transient and 

stable transfections 

The GeneBooster Reagents are chemical 

cocktails designed to significantly 

enhance gene expression levels in transfected 

cells. Three unique formulations 

have been developed for different cell 

types. Simply add GeneBooster reagent 

to the culture medium four hours after 

transfection and an increase in expression 

levels up to 12 fold can be achieved. 

The reagents can be used in combination 

with all commercially available 

DNA transfection reagents (including 

all PromoFectin Reagents). One vial of 

GeneBooster Reagent is sufficient for 

150 transfections using 1 ml transfection 

volume. 

The three GeneBooster Reagents are also 

available in a kit. 

Fig. 20: K562, HeLa-S3, MCF7, and P19 cells were transfected with the beta-Gal reporter plasmid pPK-CMV-R1 (see chapter 4). 

After 4 hours, the appropriate GeneBooster reagent was added to the cells which were stained 48 hours post transfection using a 

beta-Gal Staining Kit (see chapter 1) and examined under a microscope. 

5.3.2 Cell Clean 

Applications 

Highly efficient cleanup of 

transfected cells 

Features 

Efficient removal of extracellular lipid/ 

DNA complexes after cell transfection 

Non-toxic to cells 

· Fast and easy procedure 

Better downstream results post 

transfection 

CellClean is a unique washing buffer that 

has been designed to remove all complexes 

of DNA and cationic lipids that 

associate with cell surfaces during transfection. 

It shows no cytotoxicity and can 

distinguish between extracellular and 

intracellular plasmid DNA. When Cell- 

Clean is used as part of the cell washing 

procedure, more precise quantitation of 

the amount of DNA delivered into cells 

can be achieved. Moreover, it improves 

downstream results such as DNA stability, 

cytometry, and gene delivery studies. 

Fig. 21: Adherent cells were incubated with cationic lipid/DNA complexes for 4 hours 

and washed with PBS (lane 1) or CellClean (lane 2). Cells were lysed, the DNA extracted 

and analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Arrows show extracellular plasmid 

DNA that could be removed from cell surfaces when using Cell Clean.

6.4 Antigens and Cell Lysates 

The PromoKine peptides are perfectly 

suited as blocking reagent in combination 

with the PromoKine antibodies and 

as a control in e.g. immunoblotting/ 

Western blot, ELISA, or immunohistochemistry 

assays. 

PromoKine also provides a wide range 

of ready-to-use cell and tissue lysates 

that can be used as controls in e.g. gel 

electrophoresis, Western blotting, or immunoprecipitation. 

Moreover, they are 

also useful in enzymatic activity analysis, 

protein-protein interaction analysis, and 

tissue specific expression identification. 

The total tissue and cell line protein 

lysates are available from human, mouse, 

and rat origin as well as from a variety 

of developmental stages. Furthermore, 

beside lysates from normal tissue also 

lysates from tumor tissue and diseased 

tissue are available. 

For a complete list of our peptides and cell lysates please see 

www.promokine.info/antigens-and-cell-lysates or the PromoKine Price List.

Cytokines and Growth 

7 

Factors 

Cytokines and chemokines are small proteins secreted by a 

variety of cell types. They are important signal messengers 

mediating cell communication and activating other target cells 

through binding to specific receptors. Cytokines play a central 

role in the immune system - in which the chemokines mainly 

function as chemoattractants. They also coordinate and regulate 

other biological processes such as cell growth and development 

or tissue repair.

7.1 Cytokines, Chemokines, Growth Factors, Hormones, and soluble Receptors 

All cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, 

CD antigens, hormones, and soluble 

receptors available from PromoKine 

meet the highest quality standards. They 

are highly purified and biologically active. 

Purity is generally assessed by SDS-PAGE 

and HPLC analysis and is in most cases 

higher than 95%. Most of the products 

are delivered lyophilized at room temperature 

and some come ready-to-use in 

a buffer solution. Reconstitution of the 

lyophilized proteins should be carried out 

in water or common buffer solutions. 

We continuously add new recombinant 

proteins to our inventory.

7.2 Animal-free Cytokines and Growth Factors 

PromoKine’s animal-free cytokines and 

growth factors have been produced by 

molecular farming using barley grain 

as the production host - which has the 

G.R.A.S. (Generally Recognized As Safe) 

status from the FDA. These cytokines 

are free of animal components, serum, 

endotoxins, and antibiotics, as well as 

human or animal infectious agents or 

other endogenous mammalian contaminants 

(e.g. traces of unwanted growth 

factors and cytokines). As these proteins 

have been expressed in barley seed endosperm, 

they show very low proteolytic, 

pyrogenic, and inflammatory activity 

compared to other commercially available 

proteins such as those produced in bacteria, 

yeast, insect, or mammalian cells. 

In addition, they retain proper eukaryotic 

folding and glycosylation resulting in an 

increased stability and biological activity. 

Degradation due to protease carryover 

as well as unwanted cell responses (e.g. 

proliferation, chemokine release and 

inflammatory cascades) or cell growth 

inhibition caused by contaminating serum 

components (serum carryover), 

endotoxins or bacterial, viral, and prion 

infectious agents are also eliminated or 

at least extremely reduced.

7.4 Cytokines and Growth Factors for Stem Cell Research 

Stem cells play a central role in the de- 

Mammalian stem cells are generally 

generative organs. Most adult stem cells 

velopment of multicellular organisms 

comprised of two types: Embryonic stem 

are lineage-restricted (multipotent) and 

and diverse regeneration processes 

cells (ESCs) are derived from the epiblast 

characterized by a limited self-renewal 

throughout their lifes, e.g. replacing 

tissue of the inner cell mass of an early 

and differentiation capacity usually 

diseased and damaged tissues. They are 

stage embryo (blastocyst) and are con- 

restricted to cell types of the tissue in 

unspecialized precursor cells characterized 

by their abilities of self-renewal 

and pluripotency, that means they can 

undergo numerous rounds of cell division 

maintaining the undifferentiated 

sidered pluripotent and capable to differentiate 

into any cell type of the adult 

body. Adult stem cells (also known as 

somatic stem cells) are undifferentiated 

cells found in the tissues of children and 

which they reside. In contrast, induced 

pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are not 

adult stem cells but specialised, somatic 

adult cells (e.g. epithelial cells) that have 

been genetically reprogrammed to pluri- 



state and are able to develop into differ- 

adults. Their main function is to replace 

potent cells which are in many respects 

ent types of cells such as skin, muscle or 

dead or damaged specialiced cells and 

similar to natural pluripotent stem cells

Microbial Detection

and Elimination 

Cell culture contamination is a commonly occurring problem 

that affects many of the cell’s biochemical and immunological 

properties, and it leads to unsatisfactory and unreliable results. 

Therefore, regularly testing cell cultures for contamination with 

mycoplasmas/bacteria is essential. PromoKine provides highly 

sensitive and user-friendly test kits for this purpose as well as 

products for the effective elimination and prevention of mycoplasma/eubacteria 

contamination.

8.1 Mycoplasma Test Kits 

Applications 

Mycoplasma detection in cell culture, 

cell/virus stocks, and medium 

Conventional and real-time PCR 

Features 

Highly sensitive (detects 10 - 15 

mycoplasmas per sample volume) 

Fast, reproducible, and reliable results 

Applicable for all cell/tissue culturerelevant 

mycoplasma species 

Positive and internal controls included 

Convenient protocol and easy sample 

preparation 

Mycoplasmas are parasitic bacteria that 

frequently contaminate tissue cultures 

and consequently also virus stocks, 

vaccines, and other biological materials 

produced in cells. The contamination can 

originate from serum, laboratory staff, 

other contaminated cultures, or the donors 

from which the cells have been harvested, 

and it often remains unnoticed. 

Although mycoplasmas do not cause 

visible cell damage, they seriously affect 

cell growth and metabolism, transfection 

efficiency, protein and monoclonal 

antibody synthesis, cytokine secretion, 

immunological properties, signal transduction, 

virus proliferation and can even 

cause DNA and RNA damage. 

Since mycoplasmas are very small and lack 

cell walls, detection using a conventional 

light microscope is nearly impossible. In 

addition, cloudiness in the medium, typical 

for bacterial or yeast contaminations, 

does not occur even at high mycoplasma 

concentrations. PCR on the other hand 

is a highly sensitive, specific, and rapid 

method for the detection of mycoplasma 

contamination in culture supernatant, 

cell/virus stocks, and medium. All cell/ 

tissue culture relevant mycoplasma species 

can be detected in one assay including 

M. fermentans, M. hyorhinis, M. 

arginini, M. orale, M. salivarium, M. 

hominis, M. pulmonis, and M. pirum. In 

addition, M. pneumoniae, Acholeplasma 

laidlawii, M. synoviae, and Ureaplasma 

species can be detected. 

PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit I/C 

The PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit I/C utilizes 

conventional PCR technology for convenient 

and specific detection of more than 

25 contaminating mycoplasma species. 

The primer set is specific for the highly 

conserved 16S-rRNA coding region in 

the mycoplasma genome. The test can 

be performed in 3 hours and includes 

internal control DNA (for verifying a successful 

PCR run) as well as positive control 

DNA. All components required for 

the PCR (primers, nucleotides, internal 

control DNA) come optimally premixed 

and lyophilized in PCR tubes (except 

the Taq polymerase). For setting up 

the PCR, simply cut off the number of 

tubes required, rehydrate with rehydration 

buffer (containing the Hot-Start Taq 

polymerase), and add the sample to be 

analyzed. Samples can be easily prepared 

by boiling the cell culture supernatant or 

other sample material. 

PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit I/RT 

The PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit I/RT utilizes 

real-time PCR technology for convenient 

and reproducible detection of 

contaminating mycoplasmas. It shows 

excellent sensitivity and specificity and 

enables reliable, quantitative PCR results 

extremely fast, particularly for routine 

testing for mycoplasma contamination. 

The primer and probe set is specific for 

the highly conserved 16S-rRNA coding 

region in the mycoplasma genome. It 

contains FRET probes emitting fluorescent 

light at 520 nm and is compatible 

with most common Real-Time PCR cyclers 

(e.g. Roche Light Cycler ® 1 and 2, 

ABI Prism ® , Cepheid Smart Cycler ® , and 

Eppendorf Mastercycler ® ep realplex). 

The test includes internal control DNA 

(for verifying a successful PCR run) as 

well as positive control DNA. All components 

required for real time PCR 

(primers, probes, nucleotides, and internal 

control DNA) come lyophilized 

in PCR tubes, except the Hot-Start Taq 

polymerase which is dissolved in reaction 

buffer. Two kit variants (kit A for 

e.g. Light Cycler, kit B for e.g. ABI Prism) 

are provided which have been optimized 

for different Real Time PCR instruments. 

For recommended kit variant, please see

PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit III 

The PCR Mycoplasma Test Kit III utilizes 

conventional PCR technology for convenient 

and highly sensitive detection of 

mycoplasma. The primer set is specific for 

the highly conserved 16S-rRNA coding 

region in the mycoplasma genome. Thus, 

the kit reliably detects all mycoplasma 

commonly found in cell culture, including 

the Acholeplasma and Spiroplasma 

genera. The kit has been positively tested 

against all mycoplasma strains listed in the 

European Pharmacopoeia, but may detect 

even more mycoplasma species (~70-120 

species). It does not detect microorganisms 

such as Streptococcus sp., Clostridium 

sp. and Lactobacillus sp. which are 

phylogenetically closely related. 

The kit includes all components required 

for PCR (nucleotides, primers, a highperformance 

Taq polymerase, and an 

agarose gel loading dye), all premixed at 

optimal concentrations and in a ready-touse 

and ready-to-load 1x master mix. The 

test takes approximately 3 hours to run 

and obtain clear results. The kit also contains 

positive control DNA for easy result 

verification as well as an internal control 

DNA to verify a successful PCR run.

results. When mycoplasma contamination 

is detected, the contaminated cells 

are ideally discarded and all equipment, 

e.g. work benches, CO 2 

incubators, etc., 

extensive work, thorough elimination of 

the contaminating mycoplasmas is necessary. 

Standard antibiotics commonly 

used in cell culture (e.g. Pen/Strep) do 

tamination: Mycoplasma-EX, a combination 

of non-antibiotic and antibiotic 

reagents, and BIOMYC 1-3, three highly 

effective antibiotics.


Mycoplasma-EX 

Applications 

Mycoplasma elimination in cell/tissue 

culture 

Mycoplasma elimination in virus 

stocks 

Features 

Highly effective against mycoplasma 

species commonly found in cell 

cultures 

Very short treatment time 

Very low cytotoxicity 

Ready to use 

Easy handling 

Mycoplasma-EX combines a non-antibiotic 

and a thoroughly adjusted antibiotic 

treatment for the effective elimination of 

mycoplasmas and other microorganisms 

in cell/tissue culture and virus stocks. It 

eliminates mycoplasmas by directly killing 

them and not just by inhibiting their 

growth, while showing extremely low 

toxicity for the cells in culture. 

Mycoplasma-EX is effective with only 

one treatment, destroying mycoplasmas 

rapidly and permanently. It is applicable 

for most cell lines (e.g. Vero, BHK21, 

GBK, ML, Hep2, 293, CRFK, H9, Molt4, 

MT-4, Jurkat) as well as virus stocks 

(e.g. SHV-1, BHV-1, HSV-1, VSV, SFV, 

FCV, MEV) and highly effective against 

M. orale, M. hyorhinis, M. hominis, 

Acholeplasma laidlawii, M. arginini, 

M. fermentans, and other mycoplasma 

species usually encountered as contaminants 

in cell cultures.

only effective against a few mycoplasma 

species commonly found in cell cultures. 

In addition, they frequently just reduce 

the concentration of mycoplasmas rather 

than completely eliminating them. As 

soon as treatment is discontinued, contamination 

will recur. 

BIOMYC-1 and 2 

BIOMYC-1 and 2 are two antibiotics, 

which eliminate mycoplasmas very efficiently 

when used in combination. After 

a four-day treatment with BIOMYC-1, 

a three-day treatment with BIOMYC-2 

follows. This is repeated 2 to 3 times. 

Following this protocol, the mycoplasmas 

do not develop resistance to these 

antibiotics - a common occurrence with 

other antibiotic treatment methods. 

BIOMYC-1 is based on the antibiotic tiamutin 

which is produced by the fungus 

Pleurotus mutilus. BIOMYC-2 is based 

on the antibiotic minocycline, an improved 

derivative of tetracycline. 

BIOMYC-3 

BIOMYC-3 is based on the antibiotic 

ciprofloxacin, which is a member of 

the fluoroquinolone group and inhibits 

synthesis of DNA gyrase, an enzyme 

necessary for bacterial DNA supercoiling. 

Many mycoplasma species are 

sensitive to BIOMYC-3, including M. 

orale, M. hyorhinis, M. fermentans, and 

M. arginini, but also Acheloplasma laidlawii. 

These species are responsible for 

most mycoplasma contaminations in cell 

cultures. At the concentrations recommended 

for use, no cytotoxic effects on 

the cells in culture have been found and 

the treatment can be performed within 

12 days.

8.3 Bacteria Test Kit 

Applications 

Eubacteria detection in cell culture 

Eubacteria detection in cell/virus 

stocks 

Eubacteria detection in medium 

Features 

Highly sensitive (detects 12 eubacteria 

genomes per sample volume) 

Reproducible and reliable results 

Applicable for 45 eubacteria species 

Positive and internal controls included 

Convenient protocol and easy sample 

preparation 

Bacteria are frequently found as contaminants 

in cell cultures. However, cell 

cultures sometimes lack visual signs of 

bacterial contamination, e.g. fast decoloration 

of the medium. Moreover, it has 

been demonstrated that standard antibiotics 

are mostly ineffective against resistant 

bacterial infection but have a strong 

impact on the metabolism, growth, and 

differentiation of the cells in culture. 

Frequent screening of cell cultures for 

eubacteria contamination is indispensable 

to obtain reliable results. Therefore, 

PromoKine offers a PCR-based Bacteria 

Test Kit that has been developed for 

accurate and reliable in vitro diagnosis 

of 45 eubacteria species, many of 

them found as usual contaminants in 

cell cultures (e.g. Actinomyces, Bacillus, 

Enterococcus, Escherichia coli, Fusobacterium, 

Klebsiella, Lactobacillus, 

Micrococcus, Mycobacterium, Peptostreptococcus, 

Pseudomonas, Porphyromonas, 

Prevotella, Salmonella, Serratia, 

Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, 

etc.). The kit provides a highly sensitive, 

easy, and rapid method to detect eubacteria 

infection in various in situ biological 

materials, including cell cultures. Detection 

requires as little as 12 eubacteria 

genomes (~52 fg) per sample volume. 

The protocol can be completed within 

3.5 hours with a hands-on time of less 

than 40 minutes. The kit contains all necessary 

components for setting up a PCR 

including a positive control DNA as well 

as an internal control DNA to confirm a 

successfully performed PCR run. The kit 

does not amplify eukaryotic DNA.

Fig. 4: Eubacteria detection with the PromoKine PCR Bacteria Test Kit is easy and convenient: Purify bacterial DNA from 200 – 

500 µl cell culture supernatant by using an appropriate, commercial DNA extraction kit; add 5 µl sample DNA to the reaction cup 

with the premixed PCR components and Taq polymerase; start PCR run; analyze PCR products by agarose gel electrophoresis.

8.4 Disinfectants 

Disinfection of all tissue culture equipment 

and work surfaces in the lab has to 

be performed regularly to prevent contamination. 

PromoKine offers different 

disinfectants ideal for laboratory surfaces 

and apparatuses, CO 2 

incubators, and 

water baths. 

Mycoplasma-EX Spray 

Applications 

Disinfection of all laboratory surfaces 

Disinfection of laboratory apparatuses 

Features 

Kills mycoplasmas within seconds 

Effective against most microorganisms 

Non-corrosive and non-cancerogenic 

Does not leave any residue 

Supplied in a refillable spray bottle 

Mycoplasma-EX Spray allows safe disinfection 

and cleaning of all laboratory surfaces 

and apparatuses, including clean 

and work benches, incubators, cell storage 

boxes, and liquid nitrogen containers. 

It utilizes the powerful Mycoplasma-EX 

reagent in combination with an 

alcohol-based solution. Besides its strong 

mycoplasmacidal activity, it is very effective 

against Staphylococcus aureus, 

Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, 

Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 

Candida albicans, Mycobacteria, 

HBV/HIV, Papova, Adeno, Polio and 

Vaccinia viruses. 

The effectiveness of Mycoplasma-EX 

Spray is further enhanced by its excellent 

detergent properties, so that clean 

and contamination-free surfaces can be 

achieved in one step. 

Pharmacidal Spray 

Applications 

Disinfection of incubators 

Features 

Free of mercury, formadeldehyde, 

phenol and alcohol 

Very effective against bacteria, fungi, 

spores, and viruses 

Non-corrosive and non-cancerogenic 

Does not leave any residue 

Supplied in a refillable spray bottle 

Pharmacidal Spray is a mercury-, formaldehyde-, 

phenol-, and alcohol-free 

disinfectant particularly intended for the 

disinfection of incubators. It is recommended 

to spray the incubators thoroughly 

every two weeks. 

Aquaguard 

Applications 

Disinfection of water trays in CO 2 

incubators 

Disinfection of water baths 

Features 

Very effective against bacteria, fungi, 

spores, and viruses 

Non-corrosive 

Non-toxic and non-volatile 

The water in an incubator or in a water 

bath is a major source of cell culture 

contamination, particularly with respect 

to mycoplasma contaminations, since 

mycoplasmas can survive in pure water. 

Aquaguard, a non-volatile disinfectant, is 

extremely effective in eliminating microorganisms 

in water. In addition, it does 

not cause damage to the stainless steel 

of the incubator or any plastic interior, 

and it does not cause any skin irritation 

when used as recommended. 

Aquaguard-1 is intended for disinfecting 

water in incubators, whereas Aquaguard-2 

is intended for water bath disinfection.

Terms and Conditions 

Terms and Conditions 

General Terms 

1. These conditions of sale and delivery 

apply to all contracts of supply between 

us and our customers, even when in individual 

cases they are not referred to. 

2. A customer’s inconsistent conditions 

of purchase shall have no validity, even 

when we do not expressly reject such 

conditions. 

3. The customer is deemed to agree to 

these conditions of sale and delivery 

upon unconditional acceptance of the 

goods supplied. 

4. Rights of the customer arising during 

the course of business with us are not 

transferable. 

5. Any agreement that differs from these 

conditions of sale and delivery, or any 

recognition of the customer’s contradictory 

purchase conditions, requires our 

express confirmation in writing. 

Offers 

1. In the absence of a declaration to the 

contrary, we are not bound by any offers 

we make. 

2. Supply contracts only take effect when 

confirmed by us in writing. 

3. Any inquiries or complaints concerning 

confirmation are to be made promptly in 

writing. 

4. Assurances and assured properties 

only exist when they are expressly described 

as such. The descriptions and 

other statements in our catalogues and 

price lists are accurate to the best of our 

knowledge and belief. Under no circumstances 

may any assurances as to properties 

be derived from such descriptions 

and statements. 

Prices 

1. Our prices quoted in the current price 

list are net prices, VAT (value added tax) 

not included. 

2. VAT is charged according to the applicable 

laws in effect. 

3. Charges for delivery, cooling and insurance 

are indicated in the valid price 

list. 

4. PromoCell prices are subject to change 

without prior notice. 

Shipping charges 

Europe: 19 € 

United Kingdom: 13 £ 

USA / Canada: 45 $ 

For other countries 

please inquire! 

Delivery 

1. Delivery times will be specified after 

careful co-ordination. They are however 

not legally binding. Claims for compensation 

due to delayed or non-delivery are 

excluded. 

2. If a delivery date specified by us is 

exceeded by more than two weeks, the 

customer is entitled to give us a further 

two week time limit for delivery. Should 

the delivery not be carried out by the 

end of the additional two week delivery 

period, the customer is entitled to rescind 

the contract. The rescission must 

be made promptly and in writing, at the 

latest within a week of the expiry of the 

additional two week delivery period. 

3. All deliveries take place at the customer’s 

risk. The passing of risk takes place 

on the handing over of the goods to the 

carrier or haulier. The careful choice of 

dispatch method and means of transport 

is at our discretion with exclusion of any 

and all liability. 

4. Deliveries in part are permitted. They 

are to be regarded as separate deliveries. 

Payment 

1. Payment is to be made without any 

deductions within 14 days of delivery 

and remittance of the bill. 

2. Default of payment will result in legal 

proceedings upon the expiry of the payment 

period without further warning. In 

this case, or in the case of a warning, we 

are entitled to interest for late payment 

at the current normal bank borrowing 

rate, or alternatively at a rate of 5% 

above the current discount rate of the 

Deutsche Bundesbank. 

3. A cash discount is only permitted 

when expressly stated on the bill and 

when payment is made within the stated 

period. 

4. An offset against or demand for 

payment is only permitted when the 

customer has an undisputed or legally 

established counterclaim. 

5. If our conditions of payment are not 

complied with or if justifiable doubts 

exist regarding the customer’s ability or 

willingness to pay, we are entitled to 

rescind the contract and to demand the 

return of the delivered goods, the costs 

of delivery to be borne by the customer. 

In addition, all time outstanding claims 

will become due. 

Justifiable doubts referred to above 

include, but are not restricted to: unfavourable 

information, deterioration of 

financial circumstances, initiation of insolvency 

or bankruptcy proceedings, execution 

measures against the customer, 

protest of bills, and default of payment 

for any other reason. 

6. If the customer does not take delivery 

of properly delivered goods, we are 

entitled, after setting an additional time 

limit, to rescind the contract, or to damages 

for non-compliance with the contract. 

In the latter case we are entitled to 

demand either damages of 25% of the 

sales price without proof, or the actual 

amount of damages. 

Complaint 

1. Any complaint regarding the goods, 

such as defects, lack of assured properties, 

wrong delivery and over- or underdelivery 

are, after immediate discontinuation 

of use, to be reported in writing. 

2. In the case of wrong delivery, the 

goods will be taken back at our expense 

and replaced with the goods ordered. 

Excess deliveries may similarly be sent 

back to us at our expense. In the case of 

under delivery, the customer may choose 

between a reduction in payment or complete 

fulfilment of the order. 

3. In the case of delivery of faulty goods 

we are entitled to replace the faulty 

goods with goods free of faults. Should 

the replacement delivery also be faulty, 

the customer may choose between a 

reduction in payment or cancellation of 

the contract. Claims for compensation 

are excluded except in the case of lack of 

assured properties.

Terms and Conditions 167 

4. The right to complain expires in the 

case of obvious or apparent defects two 

weeks after receipt of the goods, and 

in the case of non-apparent defects six 

months after receipt of the goods. 

5. Goods may only be returned by arrangement 

with us and with the issue 

of a return number. The goods must be 

properly packed. If returned goods are 

damaged due to the fault of the customer, 

the customer is obliged to pay 

compensation for such damage. 

6. In the case of delivery to traders the 

customer is to inspect the goods without 

delay upon receipt and to report 

any complaints to us immediately. If the 

customer fails to make such a report 

the goods will be deemed approved. In 

the case of a fault that is not apparent 

upon inspection, the complaint must be 

reported immediately upon discovery of 

the fault, otherwise the goods will be 

deemed approved as regards such fault. 

Use of Goods 

1. Goods delivered by us are intended 

exclusively for the purposes of research 

and may not be used on human beings, 

animals, in the household, or for any 

private use. We emphasise that the use 

of our products for diagnostic or therapeutic 

purposes is subject to current legal 

regulations. 

2. We do not accept any liability for the 

improper use of our products. We deliver 

only to commercial enterprises, resalers 

and public researcher, development and 

teaching establishments. Legal regulations 

require us to carefully check orders 

and to refuse delivery when there are 

signs of improper use of our products. 

Orders from students or other private 

individuals must be given from an official 

office of their institute or firm. 

3. We expressly oppose research or any 

uses which run counter to ethical, legal 

or political standards or principles within 

Germany and/or the import country, or 

whose ethical justification is the subject 

of public debate and dispute in the respective 

country (i. e. cloning experiments). 

We do not accept any liability for such 

research or use by our customers or 

by third parties who have received our 

products from our customers. The users 

commit themselves not to carry out any 

genome analysis or any genetic change 

on the cell cultures. 

Liability 

1. All products delivered by us are only 

to be handled by trained personnel who 

are well aware of any potential dangers. 

Should any liability for compensation 

arise as a result of damage caused by 

breach of this condition, the customer 

shall be liable to pay any such compensation. 

In all cases, current safety regulations 

are to be observed, especially in the 

case of cells of human or animal origin, 

which always represent a potential risk 

of infection. The lack of a danger symbol 

does not mean that the substances concerned 

are harmless. 

2. We accept no responsibility for damage, 

loss, or injury caused by incorrect 

handling or use in the household, on 

humans, or on animals. In as far as we 

have made confirmation of delivery dependent 

upon a specified use of certain 

products, the customer accepts full liability 

for any damage suffered by us as 

a result of the customer’s incorrect use 

of the product. In the case of products 

which may only be used in accordance 

with legal or official regulations, the customer’s 

order simultaneously counts as 

a declaration that the products will be 

used for a specific purpose in the above 

sense. 

3. Our customers are required without 

exception to apply the laboratory guidelines 

of the professional association of 

the chemical industry when dealing with 

our products. 

4. Passing on of our products to private 

individuals is not permitted. If as a result 

of a breach of this condition for whatever 

reason we should receive a claim for 

compensation from a private individual, 

we shall have a right of redress against 

the customer. 

Indemnification 

1. In addition to clause VI above, claims 

by the customer are excluded, in so far 

as they are not based upon intention or 

gross negligence. 

2. In the case of delivery to a trader this 

exclusion also applies to any damage 

caused by the intention or gross negligence 

of our business associates, carriers 

or employees. We accept no liability 

for damage caused by the behaviour of 

companies or individuals which sell our 

products. 

3. The sale of our products under their 

trade names for further commercial use 

does not mean that these products and 

their trade names may be freely used 

in general circulation. Some products, 

their production and use or their trade 

names are patented or protected trade 

names. The further commercial use of 

such products and their trade names occurs 

as regards a third party under the 

exclusive responsibility and liability of 

the customer. 

Miscellaneous 

1. German law shall apply to all contracts 

entered into by us, including those for 

deliveries abroad. We expressly reject the 

application of the Vienna UN-agreement 

relating to international sales contracts 

of 11. 04. 80. 

2. In the case of contracts with traders 

who do not belong to the traders specified 

in §4 of the code of commercial law, 

the place for fulfilment of contracts and 

the court of jurisdiction shall be Heidelberg. 

3. If any of the above conditions is held 

to be invalid, the validity of any of the 

other conditions shall not be affected. 

4. Only the German version of this Terms 

of Delivery and Payment is valid. This 

translation shall only serve as assistance 

for our customers. You can get a German 

version on request.
