Eupheria Biotech GmbH: Our mission is dedication to our customer's research needs delivering high quality RNAi products combined with aligned services. We develop and produce RNAi reagents using cutting-edge technology, such as endoribonuclease prepared siRNAs (esiRNAs). Our company is continously aiming for innovations to provide the most efficient silencing triggers available in the market with substantially less off-target effects guaranteeing best results for our customers.
Our RNAi products provide RNAi researchers with a proven, cost effective and simple way to perform experiments, from single gene knockdown to genom-wide screens. Our enzymatically prepared, multiple silencing triggers lead to highly specific and effective gene silencing. We have just launched a brand new library of esiRNAs targeting long non-coding transcripts from the Mus Musculus genome in addition to the first commercially available library of RNAi mediators for Tribolium Castaneum.

Cellecta provides contract research services for the discovery and characterization of novel drug targets and the development of novel therapeutics. Cellecta’s genome-wide and targeted RNAi screening platform, which combines complex lentiviral shRNA expression libraries with HT sequencing, enables identification of genes regulating a variety of cellular responses and possible therapeutic targets and helps researchers identify new targets, prioritize known targets, characterize therapeutic mechanisms of action, and identify genes that induce an additive or synergistic response. The approach is particularly useful in elucidating the mechanism of action for compounds or other factors triggering cellular responses and for investigators interested in identifying essential genes in cancer models, finding cell signaling nodes modulating a functional response, or looking for genes that confer pathogenic resistance.
Cellecta is headed by an experienced management and product development team with a good product development track record, a network of outside scientific collaborators, and prior experience in start-up company operations. Located in Mountain View, CA in the heart of Silicon Valley, the company resides in the "Biotech Bay" area near some of the most well-known research biotech companies and life science institutes including Genentech, Stanford University, and the University of California, San Francisco.
Cellecta has partnered with a multitude of scientists and institutions, including the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC), The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), Cleveland Biolabs, Harvard School of Public Health, Tufts University, and Health Research, Inc. Cellecta’s scientists have developed some of the most advanced technologies available, in collaboration with opinion leaders and with funding from more than 12 NIH SBIR grants.

Carl Zeiss Microscopy is one of the leading manufacturers of microscope systems and offers complete solutions for biomedical research, the healthcare sector and high-tech industries. Its product line spans a broad spectrum from routine light microscopes to research level imaging systems and ultra-resolution systems.
Of special relevance is the MicroBeam system for laser capture microdissection (LCM). Enabling microdissection from tissue sections and live cell cultures without interfering with molecular integrity has provided powerful research breakthroughs. Single cells, or group of cells, can be micro-dissected away from the slide or dish using a cool ablative laser. Dissected elements are collected in a PCR tube for the downstream analysis of your choice (e.g. RNA analysis).
