Eton Bioscience recently just released a brand new product, BlueFast. Bluefast is an excellent alternative to using coomassie blue for your SDS-Page because you can completely stain your protein in 10 minutes and you can completely remove the destain step. We have loved using it in the lab, mainly because of how much time it cuts down, and that you can start on the next step of your research so much faster.

Our sizes start at 100 ml, which is $30. However, if you would like to try it out, we have a 50ml trial version.
Which you can definitely try out in three different ways:

We actually have a few employees on twitter and wanted to give a them a special shout out and give you the opportunity to follow them and see what they are up to.

@rhondaemily has been part of our daily activities since 2007 and works at the San Diego branch. She has done sample pick-up, lab work, and been a DNA Service specialist. She went to UCSD and is about to leave us soon for Medical School at the University of Miami. We will certainly miss her, but we are glad we can still keep up with her online.

@etonbiosynergy is written by Richard Tsai, who works at the North Carolina branch. He graduated from UC Irvine. He does business development and was instrumental at creating the peptide synthesis service for Eton. Richard plays a lot of sports in his spare time, specifically basketball. He also has a huge amount of passion for Biofuels, and you can often see him tweeting about it.

@tingbb Tina was born in Taipei, Taiwan. She moved to Houston at age two. She attended the University of Texas at Austin, graduating with a degree in Biology. Since graduation, she has been a lab tech in the biotech field assisting in plasmid cloning and DNA hybridization. Tina loves any activity that involves water, whether it be swimming, snorkeling, or visiting the aquarium! She recently became a part of the Eton Bioscience team and is working at the new Houston branch as a bioservice specialist.

@hollybarnes works on business development and is also a bioservice specialist. She loves working in Biotech and has a passion for anything that deals with DNA and web 2.0. In her spare time she loves cooking, home decor, and shopping. She graduated from UCSD and really enjoys working on all three branches and looks forward to Eton expanding.

Beginning on Thursday, Nov. 19, next week, our Houston Beta goes live. Our Beta is an interactive testing period for the first month and a half of us being set up in the Houston area. We would love anyone and everyone to get involved and help us develop the bio-service branch that best serves the Houston community. All feedback: the good, the bad, and the ugly, is encouraged and even rewarded. After all the more feedback we get, the more we can tailor to the needs of the Texas community.

The Beta service is on a first come first serve basis. Once you sign up, we will send you an email regarding whether you qualify for our services. If you are not eligible, we will notify you when we will be able to start processing for you.

Our services yield the quickest results with a turnaround time of less than 24 hours, as well as Saturday morning results. We also offer excellent quality with results of up to 1000bp. Conveniently located in the Houston Medical Center, we have free pick-up of samples at 3pm daily and personal customer service. On top of this service during the beta you get the added benefit of

50% off our DNA Sequencing services
10% off our Peptide Synthesis Service

Feedback is given in different ways: through our DNA Facebook Page, Twitter, YouTube, or just by emailing support@etonbio.com.

Also, as a thank you, we will be giving away free Eton cups to the first ten people who review us on facebook and twitter (with the term @etonbio). We will also be holding a random drawing at the end of Beta to give away a $25 Starbucks gift card to the first 25 people chosen who reviewed us on each site. And one lucky winner will win a huge piece of DNA art created by MyGeneImage.

We hope you get involved and join the Beta and if you have any suggestions, feel free to comment here too.

As many of you may know, we are very active on our twitter account, and we are starting a small segment where we highlight a few we are following and why:

Today it is just a few San Diego Biotech twitter accounts:

@SDBN is a networking twitter account for just the twitter community. If you follow them you will find a mix of local events you can attend, happenings in the San Diego Community, and witty remarks about life in general. Thet also have a blog http://sdbn.org/

@MrGunn William Gunn is a San Diego local who is passionate about science, politics and anything related to both. He writes a Science blog that is fascinating and well researched (if we do say so ourselves). What I usually find on his twitter is articles he finds interesting as well as witty observations and good conversation in general.

@Comprendia is the twitter account of a Bioscience consulting group . They also write another science blog that gives useful tips for everyone who wants advice about business in the biotech community. They often write about how to effectively use social media for scientists, and have witty banter as well.

@biophase is a biotech staffing site in San Diego that helps people find jobs in the San Diego community. They are also very active in the local community and are a great resource for anyone looking for a job.

@idtdna is not just in San Diego but they have a branch there so we included them. Even though they are a phenomenal oligo synthesis service their twitter account isn’t just about business. Its about what is going on around them, what conferences they attend, and what is interesting in the biotech field.

There are many many more for us to recommend, even in the San Diego Community. Which we will continue later.
