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.
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.
DNA/RNA purification system
07 April, 2009 | Phenomenex Australia
Phenomenex’s Clarity QSP system for synthetic RNA and DNA purification uses trityl-on purification to deliver concentrated, full-length oligonucleotide sequences.
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.
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.
