Transfection reagent
06 August, 2007 | Life Technologies
Lipofectamine LTX Reagent offers a solution for gene expression as it is a plasmid DNA-specific transfection reagent that can provide the same level of reproducible and efficient gene expression in a wide range of cell lines, including primary and disease-related cells. Lipofectamine LTX Reagent is synthesised from 100% animal origin-free components, making it easy to validate the absence of zoonotic diseases, such as BSE or viruses, in experiments or cell lines. A certificate of origin may be obtained.
Oligonucleotide separations technology
06 August, 2007 | Waters Australia Pty Ltd
Waters has introduced two sets of columns for the purification and analysis of oligonucleotides. The Acquity UPLC OST C18 columns have been specifically designed to work with the Waters family of Acquity UltraPerformance LC products. The XBridge OST C18 columns are designed for advanced oligonucleotide HPLC separations. Both products are suitable for purifying and analysing synthetic oligonucleotides including siRNA, primers and probes, therapeutic drugs made by oligonucleotide manufacturers, diagnostic kit makers, government and university laboratories, and biotechnology companies.
DLS plate reader
06 August, 2007 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd
The DynaPro plate reader performs automated, high-throughput, temperature-controlled dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements with industry-standard well plates without perturbing the samples. This device is designed to achieve rapid screening of unfractionated samples and is suitable for a wide range of applications including protein crystallography, pharmaceutical formulation and antibody aggregation studies. The plate reader uses industry-standard 96, 384 or 1536 well plates and features built-in temperature control as well as compatibility with the industry's liquid handling robots.
Vial filling system for clinical trials
06 August, 2007 | Nupac Industries Pty Ltd
Bosch Pharmaceutical has augmented its portfolio of vial filling solutions with the FLT1020, a system designed for increased efficiency in clinical trials. The filler is a downsized alternative to larger vial filling systems, specifically designed for the clinical/trials phase. Based on production technology, the FLT1020 minimises packaging and processing variables when shifting into the full scale production stage. Pharmaceutical firms moving from clinical trials to the production phase need to be able to predict how a drug will handle on the filling line and the FLT1020 addresses the demands of pharmaceutical manufacturers that require a scaled down unit that replicates the conditions of mass production. A smaller system enables firms to anticipate potential variables, streamline validation procedures and thus minimise the risks associated with scale up.
Hotplate stirrers
06 August, 2007 | VWR International Pty Ltd
Stuart hotplate stirrers are available in a range of versions to suit most laboratories and include digital units, external temperature controllers, efficient infra red heating units or robust analog units. The stylish and economical general-purpose hotplate/stirrers are designed with safety as well as performance in mind. The hotplate is shaped for stability and also helps deflect spills away from the controls and the user.
