The Cytoviva Hyperspectral Imaging System (HSI) from Scitech provides spectral analysis of materials and biologicals imaged with the CytoViva Nano-scale Optical Microscope.
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).
Sterile scalpels
07 April, 2009 | Arthur Bailey Surgico Pty Ltd
The safety cover on the Feather Safety Razor Sterile Safeshield Scalpel protects the blade in procedure and handling. The clear protective shield can be advanced (to cover the blade) and retracted as required.
LIMS upgrade
07 April, 2009 | LabWare Australia Pty Ltd
LabWare LIMS v6 is the foundation application in LabWare’s fully integrated LIMS solution suite, which offers built-in instrument interfacing and a broad range of functional modules. Under the flexible Labware licensing scheme, users may leverage the v6 application to meet needs across their entire enterprise including everything from comprehensive sample management and automated data acquisition to inventory tracking, environmental monitoring, customer contact management, shelf-life stability study management, clinical protocol set-up and control, biorepository and storage resource management, among many others. The system is equally well suited to quality control and quality assurance as well as research and development settings and continues LabWare’s emphasis on user configurability, negating the need for complex programming and application customisation.
Standardised epigenetic kits
07 April, 2009 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
Qiagen has launched five additions to its EpiTect product line to help address the growing demand for standardised products for complete workflows in epigenetics.
Add safety to pipetting
07 April, 2009 | Alere Australia
Safe-Cone filters prevent contamination of the pipettor and the sample.
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.
Plasmid purification kit
07 April, 2009
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.
Metabolite detection kits
07 April, 2009 | Sapphire Bioscience
The Cayman Chemical Nitrate/Nitrite Colormetric Assay Kit provides an accurate and convenient method for measurement of total nitrate/nitrite concentration in a simple two-step process.
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.
