Kreatech Biotechnology Launches PlatinumBright(TM) Nucleic Acid
Labeling Kits for In Situ Hybridization and Filter Hybridization
Applications

Kreatech Biotechnology BV announces the launch of a series of
PlatinumBright nucleic acid labeling kits offering its' proprietary
ULS labeling molecule bound to a choice of fluorescent dyes or
haptens, The complete general nucleic acid labeling kits include
unique purification columns (KREApure) which ensure the complete
removal of unreacted dye while yielding very high sample recovery
that is independent of fragment length.

The Universal Linkage System - ULS(TM) - is a proprietary labeling
technology that has been engineered to give very reproducible
labeling densities, both inter- and intra-experimental protocols,
without the use of enzymes that can cause biases. While the labeling
in the PlatinumBright kits have been designed to provide the optimal
labeling density for Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)
applications, the ULS labeling reaction in these kits are also
optimal for filter hybridizations such as Northern Blots, Southern
Blots, Spot Blots and Dot Blot hybridizations as well as use with
Tissue Arrays and ChIP on Chip experiments (labeling of promoter
fragments after Chromatin immuno precipitation).

ULS labeling of nucleic acids is a robust, one-step procedure that
is completed within 30 minutes. "The PlatinumBright nucleic acid
labeling kits offer the researcher the possibility to non
enzymatically label their target nucleic acid of choice, with a
choice of six commonly used dyes and a biotin kit and then proceed
to use this labeled material in several hybridization applications.
Our decision to make available the PlatinumBright general nucleic
acid labeling kits is consistent with our strategy to offer ULS
technology to researchers who have labeling needs for a variety of
nucleic acid applications. End users using PlatinumBright kits can
now very easily, quickly, and reproducibly label nucleic acids for
whatever application they can think of", according to Brent Keller,
General Manager/VP Commercial Operations for Kreatech.

Kreatech earlier this year launched a line of aRNA labeling kits for
expression arrays with dye pairs from GE Healthcare, Perkin Elmer,
Dyomics, and a Biotin system for Affymetrix users as well as a line
of arrayCGH labeling kits with the same dye pairs for the direct
labeling of genomic DNA for microarray based comparative genomic
hybridization analysis.
