Bruker Daltonics has released ETD II, an ETD (electron transfer dissociation) module for its HCT-Ultra high-capacity ion traps.
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).
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.
Amino acid analysis
07 April, 2009 | Waters Australia Pty Ltd
The MassTrak AAA Solution is a system designed for the reliable and reproducible analysis of physiological amino acids using ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC).
Vibrio identification
07 April, 2009 | Dutec Diagnostics Pty Ltd
V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae genic bacteria, which can cause serious seafood poisoning. For the detection of those bacteria, conventional methods (TCBS) are long, require a heavy workload and are not very sensitive.
Magnetic stirring bar
07 April, 2009 | Lomb Scientific (Aust) Pty Ltd
The Spinbar Capsule Magnetic Stirring Bar consists of a magnetic stirring bar that spins freely inside a small flat capsule and prevents the stirring bar from contacting the gel.
Data collection and analysis for clinicians
07 April, 2009 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
BioTek Instruments has announced a software tool for clinical laboratories using the ELx800 and ELx808 microplate readers. Gen5CL Data Collection and Analysis Software combines the convenience and security of preprogrammed clinical diagnostic assays with the power and flexibility of a PC-based application. The PC-based interface provides greater flexibility in data analysis and output options than onboard microplate reader programs, including LIS system compatibility and data/protocol storage.
