Lab Unlimited UK

The Carl Stuart Group was founded in 1984 by Stuart and Gillian Smith. From a small beginning our business has grown to encompass many services and products, covering different market sectors and geographical regions. The focus of our business, however, remains the same. We are a customer orientated company and strive to meet and exceed your expectations in everything we do.

As our portfolio grew we decided to present and promote our product and technical service offerings under distinct brands.  The Laboratory instrumentation, consumables and technical & integration services are promoted under Lab Unlimited.

The Lab Unlimited product portfolio offers laboratory/analytical products from more than four hundred leading manufacturers. A substantial part of this offering is published on this very site. We also produce a printed catalogue that can be requested by emailing us.

  1. Canvax Catalase Activity Assay Kit CA063 - Stress Oxidative Assays

    Canvax Catalase Activity Assay Kit CA063 - Stress Oxidative Assays
    Catalase Activity Assay Kit, for a fast, easy & highly sensitive for colorimetric/fluorometric measuring of catalase activity Catalase Activity Assay Kit is a fast, easy and highly sensitive for measuring Catalase activity in biological samples. In the assay, catalase first reacts with H2O2 to producing water and oxygen. The unconverted H2O2 reacts 1:1 with the fluorogenic to produce a product highly fluorescent which is measured at Ex/Em=535/587 nm (fluorometric method) or at 570 nm (Colorimetric method). Main Feautres: Fast and easy protocol: it takes 34 minutes. Sensitive assays for measuring catalase in various biological samples. Risk-free: product covered by our Quality 100% Guarantee. Includes: Includes for 100 assays: - 200 µL Probe (in DMSO) - 20 mL CAT Assay Buffer - 50 µL H2O2 (0.88 M) - 250 µL HRP solution - 1.5 mL Stop solution - 5 µL Catalase Positive Control Applications: Determination of catalase activity by colometric or fluorometric assay.
  2. Canvax CIAP P0240 - Active Enzymes

    Canvax CIAP P0240 - Active Enzymes
    CIAP, calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is a membrane bound enzyme which occurs in almost all living organisms. The AP superfamily comprises a family of highly promiscuous metallohydrolases that are similar in active site architecture and substrate preference, but show limited sequence homology .The members of this superfamily catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphate groups from many types of molecules, including nucleotides and proteins. Individual mammalian alkaline phosphatases differ in their heat stabilities and uncompetitive inhibition properties. This is the result of their nonhomologous disulphide bonds, their structural significance, and nonconserved residues. Four isoenzymes have developed during evolution and are coded by up to four genes. These four isoenzymes can be found in various tissues, three isoenzymes of AP are specific for certain tissues: they are intestinal alkaline phosphatase ,placental alkaline phosphatase, and germ cell alkaline phosphatase, which are expressed by embryonic cells but also carcinoma cells and The fourth isoenzyme is ubiquitous, and it is tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. Alkaline Phosphatase, Calf Intestinal (CIAP), catalyzes the hydrolysis of 5´-phosphate groups from DNA, RNA, and ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. CIAP is frequently used in many molecular biology applications such as the removal of phosphorylated ends of DNA and RNA for subsequent use in cloning or end-labeling of probes. In cloning, dephosphorylation prevents religation of linearized plasmid DNA. The enzyme acts on 5´ protruding, 5´ recessed and blunt ends. CIAP may also be used to degrade unincorporated dNTPs in PCR reactions to prepare templates for DNA sequencing or SNP analysis. Main Feautres: Reliable: stringent quality control standards to guarantee lot-lot consistency. High Quality: free of Endonucleases, Exonucleases and Ribonucleases contamination. Proven performance: for described applications. Includes: Includes: - Alkaline Phosphatase (CIAP) - Alkaline Phosphatase Buffer (10x) Applications:
