Hyperspectral imaging

07 April, 2009 | SciTech Pty Ltd

The Cytoviva Hyperspectral Imaging System (HSI) from Scitech provides spectral analysis of materials and biologicals imaged with the CytoViva Nano-scale Optical Microscope.

The rapid endopeptidase profiling library (REPLi) is a generic screening tool that overcomes known hurdles to identifying the cleavage site requirements for protease substrates, which are viewed as possible drug targets in disease treatment.

Gel scalpels

07 April, 2009 | Lomb Scientific (Aust) Pty Ltd

Excise target bands without scratching the screen of UV transilluminators with the DNase and Rnase-free gel scalpels.

Mouse ventilator

07 April, 2009 | SDR Scientific

Mice can be ventilated while myocardial infarctions are induced with the HSE-HA MiniVent.

Wash stations for xMAP assays

07 April, 2009 | Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd

Bio-Rad Laboratories has released two Bio-Plex Pro Wash Stations for washing bead-based assays. The Bio-Plex Pro Wash station is used exclusively for magnetic beads. The Bio-Plex Pro II Wash Station automates magnetic and vacuum wash steps for researchers who use a combination of magnetic and polystyrene assays.

Microscope cameras

07 April, 2009 | Scientific Instrument & Optical Sales

Tucsen C mount microscope cameras are available in a range of resolutions including 1.3, 3, 5 and 8 megapixels. The colour CMOS cameras feature a USB 2.0 interface and are compatible with Windows XP and Vista. Manual image analysis as well as twain drivers are included in the software package.

Scientific data management system

07 April, 2009 | STARLIMS Australasia Pty Ltd

The Starlims solution integrates LIMS data and SDMS (scientific data management system) documents into a single web-based platform. Much of the data created in science-centric organisations is unstructured and not typically managed in a consistent fashion, making it difficult to implement systematic procedures necessary to ensure regulatory and legal compliance. The Starlims SDMS module enables organisations to capture, parse, search, manage, share and archive scientific documents. Such documents may include research reports, spreadsheets, product specifications, instrument output files and more.

Detection platform for multiple pathogens

07 April, 2009 | Scientifix Pty Ltd

Seegene and Lab901 have announced an automated multi-pathogen walk-away detection platform for European hospitals. Based on the Seeplex multiplexing PCR system and ScreenTape gel electrophoresis detection system, this Seeplex/ScreenTape detection platform is being introduced to clinical and research laboratories in 10 countries across Europe.

Cancer biomarkers evaluation

07 April, 2009 | Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd

Bio-Rad Laboratories has released a technical note (tech note 5654A) describing the study of an evaluation of cancer biomarkers. In the study, Bio-Rad researchers evaluated the Bio-Plex suspension array system’s ability to detect the levels of nine biomarkers, which were selected for their potential clinical relevance to cancer development. The nine biomarkers: angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), VEGF, PDGF-BB, leptin, PECAM-1, IL-8, follistatin, HGF and G-CSF were collected in sera from four different types of cancer patients.

Standardised epigenetic kits

07 April, 2009 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd

Qiagen has launched five additions to its EpiTect product line to help address the growing demand for standardised products for complete workflows in epigenetics.

Dolphin-Doc Plus gel documentation system

07 April, 2009 | SciTech Pty Ltd

Dolphin-Doc Plus is a high-performance gel documentation image system suitable for fluorescent DNA and protein gel visualisation. A compact darkroom with a fully openable door and a UV-transilluminator on a slide-our frame makes the image system extremely user friendly.

Mesenchymal stem cells media

07 April, 2009 | Life Technologies

Invitrogen has launched a serum-free media (SFM) designed specifically to culture mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), or stem cells derived from bone marrow. Stempro MSC SFM is claimed to overcome many challenges in MSC culture. In concert, Invitrogen also launched two kits designed to allow the differentiation of MSCs to either adipocytes (fat cells) or osteocytes (bone cells).

GPCR antibodies

07 April, 2009 | United Bioresearch Products Pty Ltd

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the major classes of drug targets and an estimated 30-50% of all marketed drugs act on them. They are integral membrane receptors that transmit signals from various small molecules, peptides and lipids via G proteins where they affect many physiological functions in almost all organs.
