Research Reagents

A wide range of specialist research antibodies and reagents

Covering disciplines such as biochemistry, metabolic studies, neurobiology, nucleic acid research,
proteomics, tissue culture, microbiology and much more.

Neurobiology

Neurobiology is the foundation of multiple fields of research, from developmental biology to neurological pathology. The cells of the nervous system and their organisation into functional pathways, serve to process information and regulate behaviour. We are pleased to offer a range of antibodies, probes, assay kits and reagents to help support research in this field.

Anti-iba1 Antibodies - for brain development, injury and disease research.

Microglial Marker

Microglial cells are the only brain cells to express Iba-1 (ionised calcium binding adapter molecule 1).   

The Wako Anti-Iba-1 antibodies for immunocytochemistry and Western Blotting have been raised against a synthetic  peptide corresponding to the carboxyl-terminus of Iba-1, which is conserved amongst human, rat and mouse Iba-1 protein sequences.

Fluorescent Gel Stain Reagent

Phos-tag™ fluorescent gel stain reagents for use with SDS-PAGE gels. Fluorescein molecules combined with the "Phos-tag™" that captures phosphate groups(-PO32-) can be used to specifically stain phosphorylated proteins with the gel. Because these stains can be used at physiological pH, it allows detection of proteins that are phosphorylated at histidine (pHis) and aspartic acid (pAsp) residues, which are susceptible to hydrolysis under acidic conditions. Wako offers four different fluorescent reagents with different fluorescence wavelengths.
