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.

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.

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.

Safe-Cone filters prevent contamination of the pipettor and the sample.

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.

Urine chemistry analyser

07 April, 2009 | Siemens Ltd

The Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Clinitek Advantus Urine chemistry analyser enables automated reading of Siemens’ Multistix family of urinalysis testing strips in medium to high throughput settings.

Protein interaction analysis

07 April, 2009 | Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd

Bio-Rad Laboratories has released a GLH sensor chip for its ProteOn XPR36 protein interaction array system. The chip generates a high analyte signal through its high ligand activity and binding capacity. The amine coupling chemistry and polymer layer of the GLH sensor chip is similar to the ProteOn GLC and GLM chips, allowing ligand binding across a wide pH range.

The GenElute HP 96-well plasmid miniprep kit for DNA purification is suitable for a variety of pharmaceutical and biotechnology research applications, providing rapid purification of plasmid DNA that can generate transfection-grade plasmid with high viral titers.

Qq-TOF mass spectrometer

07 April, 2009 | Bruker Pty Ltd

The micrOTOF-Q II provides high resolution and accurate mass LC/MS/MS performance in proteomics, biomarker profiling, metabolomics and other small molecule applications. It offers the on-the-fly Smartformula 3D method for the unambiguous sum formula determination of small molecules, even up to 1 kDa in mass.

Microbiology imaging software

07 April, 2009 | In Vitro Technologies Pty Ltd

The Synbiosis ProtoCol V1.4 colony counting and inhibition zone sizing software is designed to save microbiologists time by automating many routine plate-based image analysis tasks.

Real-time PCR detection

07 April, 2009 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd

The Rotor-Gene is a rotary real-time PCR cycler system used to detect real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reactions, making specific sequences of DNA and RNA targets visible and quantifiable through amplification.

Multi-vendor hardware control

07 April, 2009 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd

Control of Shimadzu’s Prominence series high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) by Waters Empower/Empower 2 chromatography data system is now available through a collaboration between Waters and Shimadzu utilising the Open Interface Portal for multi-vendor hardware control. Shimadzu Prominence now seamlessly operates within the Empower software environment.

Standardised epigenetic kits

07 April, 2009 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
