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.
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.
