Giving Thanks
We are grateful for our staff and...Floki
With much Gratitude for our 25 years of Service to Canadian Life Scientists, we are pleased to announce that we are merging with our sister Company – Chromatographic Specialties Inc. (CSI)
Chromatographic Specialties has been serving Canadian Researchers for 60 years! CSI is where I began my first big girl job and from where MJSBioLynx emerged to distribute quality Life Science products in Canada. We will continue into the 3rd generation of our Family-run business with no changes other than MJSBioLynx will be a brand of the Chromatographic Specialties Inc. company. As nothing else has changed, please continue to contact us as usual and reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. – Cherin, President of MJSBioLynx

MJSBioLynx Well Being
Gratitude – A Note from our President
I labeled 2023 as my year of “Letting Go”. I am so grateful for the beautiful treasures I have uncovered this year as a result of “Letting Go”.
Gratitude is a feeling very similar to Love and Peace. As I have been letting go, I have been saying "Thank You” for the release and freedom that has replaced that which I have let go of.
In the deepest depths of our despair and the greatest challenges, we can always find something to be grateful for, and that is very inspiring.
As we enter the season of gratitude for our harvests, I would also like to say thank you to our suppliers, employees, and our customers for journeying with me through this year.
With Love and Gratitude,
Cherin

Mirus – The Transfection Experts
Mirus was founded on the principle that non-viral (i.e. plasmid DNA based) methods offer distinct advantages over viral methods of gene transfer. Their initial breakthrough in 1996 came with the development of a new type of transfection reagent that combined high efficiency delivery with low cellular toxicity: TransIT®-LT1 (Low Toxicity) Reagent remains the “gold standard” for broad-based gene delivery applications.
Now you can use their Transfection Reagent Agent® to find the right transfection reagent for your research needs.
Love and Gratitude,
The MJS BioLynx Team
