Clostridium in faeces
04 April, 2007 | Ngaio Diagnostics
The BioStar OIA CdTOX AB assay is an immunoassay test for the rapid qualitative detection of Clostridium difficile Toxins A and/or B in human faecal samples from patients suspected of having CDAD. Toxin A is an enterotoxin which appears to be responsible for the clinical symptoms of diarrhoea and colonic inflammation, while Toxin B is responsible for the associated cell destruction. Clinical symptoms of CDAD were once thought to be solely due to Toxin A; however, there is growing evidence that Toxin B may also play an important role in the pathogenesis of C. difficile. In many markets it is mandatory to use a test that detects both toxins, therefore a test which detects both toxins would be an aid to prompt diagnosis and allow the physician to initiate appropriate patient management.

PTFE spray chamber for ICP-OES
04 April, 2007 | Glass Expansion Pty Ltd
Glass Expansion has released a range of PTFE spray chambers for ICP-OES. The design is based on the established Tracey glass cyclonic spray chamber which is known for its sensitivity and precision, and fast washout. The pure PTFE (teflon) material reduces the likelihood of contamination. It is also totally inert, enabling the new spray chamber to be used with all common ICP solutions, including those containing HF.
