For a report in the Business Insider magazine about the potential of the new COVID-19 antigen rapid tests, our managing director Jonas Bäuerle gave an interview with the business reporter Franziska Telser. Under the title A piece back to the former normality? Why Corona rapid tests can be groundbreaking - and what you need to know about them the business insider discusses differences between different test methods, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of rapid antigen testing and its potential for containing t...

Human Protein Atlas: Expression patterns of human proteins The Swedish Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project aims to map all human proteins in cells, tissues and organs and make this data available to scientists worldwide. During the corona crisis, the HPA committee is working to increase knowledge about human host proteins interacting with SARS-CoV-2. Find detailed information about expression patterns of, among others, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2, the associated proteases TMPRSS2, CTSB and CTSL, and many other proteins interacting with...

In our Scientific Content Area, we collect interesting webinar recordings, online courses and videos from our manufacturers on a variety of topics, including standard methods such as PCR or ELISA, current hot topics such as CRISPR/Cas9 and COVID-19, but also more specific technical questions. What they all have in common is that they all deal with very specific applications, demonstrated and explained by specialists in their field. Newest videos added include tips for succesful immunohistochemical stainings from Vector Laboratories, Active M...

The antiviral activity of lectins is largely attributed to direct binding to viral envelope glycans and preventing entry of the virus into cells.   Lectins from various sources have been shown to exhibit potent antiviral properties by inhibiting infection of clinically important viral pathogens. The antiviral activity of lectins is largely attributed to direct binding to viral envelope glycans and preventing entry of the virus into cells. Several lectins, particularly plant lectins with affinity toward manno...

Our Partner GeneTex offers an extensive line of research antibodies and proteins to support the study of SARS-CoV-2 The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), previously known as 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that causes the potentially lethal COVID-19 respiratory tract infection. This new virus belongs to the genus Betacoronavirus, which also includes SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. The first case of COVID-19 was detected in December, 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has now been d...

The host cells used for recombinant expression contain hundreds to thousands of host cell proteins (HCPs) that can contaminate biopharmaceutical products. Failure to sufficiently reduce impurities early in drug development can reduce drug efficacy or lead to adverse patient reactions. Regulations require reduction of HCPs to the lowest levels possible. Our partner Cygnu...

Our partner Cusabio provides a range of animal free cytokines covering most of the factors commonly used in cell culture. Feature of the Cusabio Animal Free Cytokines: 1. Animal Free Without animal-derived pathogens in the culture system, it is the best choice to clinical cell culture. Without xenogeneic rejection and allergic reactions, it is more suitable for in vivo experiments. Without the interference of animal proteins and hormones, the experi...

As one of his first jobs as BIOZOL's new Managing Director, Jonas Bäuerle, together with Michael Hanauske from our Scientific Support team, visited the Frankfurter Stiftung für krebskranke Kinder and handed over the revenue of our christmas fundraising. It was exciting for them to meet founder member Helga von Haselberg and chairman Dr. Jürgen Vogt from the foundation personally, and learn more about the important work they are doing in cancer research. Thanks again to all our customers who helped us raise this money! ...
