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.

Monochromator-based microplate reader
06 April, 2009 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
The monochromator-based Synergy Mx multimode microplate reader provides reliable performance in fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance read modes.
Nickel assay by X-ray spectrography
06 April, 2009 | XRF Scientific
A Thulium-based, higher precision X-ray analysis technique is suitable for assaying nickel in ore. Currently, production criteria is controlled using quantitative X-ray analysis with a chemical assay reference method (Wet Chemical DMG), which tests the ultimate purity of the nickel ore or concentrate. The current X-ray technique, however, has proven to have accuracy limitations resulting in the loss of potential revenue that can be realised from production. Moreover, the chemical DMG method is relatively expensive, complex and time consuming with the chemicals being dangerous to operators.
Tissue dissociation guide
06 April, 2009 | Scimar
Worthington Biochemical Corp has updated its Tissue Dissociation Guide, which is an online guide available to assist researchers.
Organics and drug discovery products
06 April, 2009 | Chem-Supply Pty Ltd
The full range of Acros Organics products together with Maybridge Building Blocks and Screening Collections is now available from Chem-Supply.
XRF petrochemical standards
06 April, 2009 | PANalytical
PANalytical has introduced a series of petrochemical standard sets for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) multiscopy that make reliable and accurate calibration a simple, convenient and cost-effective procedure. The standard sets are made to PANalytical specifications by VHG Labs. Sets are available for wear metals, lubrication oils, sulfur in diesel fuel and sulfur in oil.
Vibration tester
06 April, 2009 | Power Parameters Pty Ltd
The Time Group TV300 vibration tester measures acceleration, velocity, displacement, rotational velocity and frequency. The display permits multi-parameter visualisation, including spectra.
Self-regenerating suppressor
06 April, 2009 | Dionex Pty Ltd
The SC-CSRS 300 Salt Converter Cation Self-Regenerating Suppressor is an eluent suppressor that can be used in place of a CSRS 300 or CAES cation suppressor in cases where increased sensitivity is required for the determination of ammonium and amines using conductivity detection. The design of the SC-CSRS 300 provides increased backpressure tolerance and maximum leak tolerance. The regenerant sweep-out design provides low noise and fast start-up.
Automated dual reduction index furnace
06 April, 2009 | Modutemp Pty Ltd
Modutemp has combined several previously separate apparatuses to create a comprehensive, automated dual reduction index furnace. This furnace provides qualitative analysis of iron ore samples for reducibility. Chemists will now have the ability to extrapolate precise weight variations as a function of temperature, when measuring the percentage of reduction (loss of oxygen) in a parcel of ore.
