Bio Molecular Systems

Montreal Biotech is proud to partner with Bio Molecular Systems (BMS), bringing their elite molecular biology hardware to researchers across Canada. BMS Knowledge and expertise is deeply linked to the legendary Corbett Life Sciences. Founded in 2015 by the original creators, chief scientists, and senior engineers behind the iconic Rotor-Gene and Corbett automation platforms, BMS was born out of a passion to address the bulky, slow limitations of traditional hardware. They took decades of inherited expertise and funneled it into a brand-new generation of incredibly compact, ultra-precise instruments that have completely redefined standard laboratory workflows. At the center of their lineup is the game changing Mic Real-Time qPCR Cycler, a tiny footprint instrument that represents the world's first magnetic induction thermal cycler.

Instead of relying on a standard heating block or on an air incubation, the Mic spins tubes inside a dynamically controlled aluminum block heated via magnetic induction. This clever engineering delivers unparalleled thermal uniformity reducing the need to use standards in repetitive assays, producing lightning fast runs and completely eliminating the need for routine optical or temperature calibration. It pairs seamlessly with their Myra Liquid robot which is a compact, automated pipetting robot equipped with integrated software and an optical camera to make library preparation effortless and qPCR setup error-free. Montreal Biotech supply these incredible systems and it ensures their flawless integrate into your workflow. Montreal Biotech supports Canadian laboratories with direct technical assistance, software setup, and responsive local service. To make sure your critical diagnostic assays and genomic research never experience downtime, we keep a dedicated domestic stock of genuine BMS consumables, specialized tubes, and essential accessories ready to ship from coast to coast.

Corbett

From 2002 to 2010, Montreal Biotech proudly served as the exclusive partner for Corbett Real-Time PCR, playing a historic role in the advancement of molecular diagnostics by introducing the revolutionary Rotor-Gene technology to North America. At a time when the field was starting, the Rotor-Gene was a true market revolution and standing as one of the only two instruments in the world capable of performing quantitative PCR (qPCR) perfectly. Its unique centrifugal rotary design completely redefined thermal and optical precision for researchers at the time. The Rotor-Gene earned a reputation as the ultimate workhorse for many laboratories and was renowned for its unmatched reliability, precision and temperature uniformity.

Today, despite the lack of replacement parts for the Rotor-Gene family, Montreal Biotech remains fully committed to supporting these iconic instruments. Through advanced troubleshooting, instead of simply replacing more expensive modules, our skilled technical team continues to successfully locate and replace the exact defective components on the modules, and thus largely reduce the service cost. And maintain Rotor-Gene systems from across the globe, allowing your laboratory to preserve a piece of pioneering technology while keeping operational budgets exceptionally low.

NanoEntek

Our business relationship with NanoEntek originally started back in 2007 when Montreal Biotech proudly introduced their revolutionary Microporator technology to North America. Since then, we have served as their exclusive coast-to-coast partner in Canada. Microporation was a massive breakthrough that NanoEntek invented to eliminate the high cell death and poor efficiency of old cuvette-based electroporation. While that original Microporator was highly successful, NanoEntek has since channeled that expertise into their state-of-the-art ExTransfection systems. This innovative, pipette-style device uses unique capillary tips generating a perfectly uniform electric field completely minimizes cell loss while handling even the most fragile primary and stem cells, and provides seamless transfection for advanced CRISPR/Cas9 workflows. Montreal Biotech continues to help lab users across Canada by introducing them to this unique and highly efficient method of transfection which revolutionized the cell transfection market.

Beyond gene delivery, NanoEntek has completely changed the game for everyday cell counting, monitoring, and analysis by combining clever microfluidics with smart optical design. They even pioneered the world’s very first personal automated cell counter. Their product line is simple and efficient, utilizing patented Lab-on-a-Chip technology.
