Peptide/protein biomarker tools
20 October, 2003 | Bruker Pty Ltd
Automated sample preparation is a key component of any biomarker discovery system. Bruker Daltonics is introducing a magnetic bead based system for the selective capture and enrichment of certain classes of peptides and proteins directly from serum, or from other biological samples.
Ion trap mass spectrometer
20 October, 2003 | Keysight Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has introduced an ion trap mass spectrometer that is claimed to be approximately 10 times more sensitive than its predecessor. The increased sensitivity, resolution and scan speed of the Agilent 1100 Series LC/MSD Trap XCT promise improved performance for many applications such as the identification and characterisation of biologically significant, low-abundance proteins for disease research.
Cell manipulation
20 October, 2003 | Cell Engineering Ltd
A range of micro-pipettes enables scientists to micro-inject cells that until now have been difficult to inject.
Cryogenically cooled probes
20 October, 2003 | Varian Australia Pty Ltd
Varian's Interchangeable Flow Cell (IFC) accessory is designed to be used with the company's cold probes, in which the electronics are chilled to approximately -250°C for improved sensitivity. Equipped with the IFC accessory, the probes are highly complementary to LC-NMR/MS instrumentation and are claimed to provide up to three to four times more sensitivity than standard room-temperature probes for metabolites and natural product studies.
Protein conformation
20 October, 2003 | ATA Scientific Pty Ltd
Insights into protein function by direct, real-time, structural measurements without tags and the conformation changes associated with ions, pH, other proteins or molecules can be observed at a resolution of less than a tenth of a carbon-carbon bond length. Simultaneous measurements of mass, concentration and density provide a highly correlated perspective of activity, without radioactive or fluorescent tags.
Microplate reagent dispenser
20 October, 2003 | VWR International Pty Ltd
The µFill Microplate Reagent Dispenser offers an economical, compact and reliable alternative to existing microplate dispensers. Accurate and precise dispensing are guaranteed without recalibration, cassette replacement, and maintenance commonly associated with other dispensers. An autoclavable model is also available for those applications requiring a sterile fluid bath.
Image analysis tools
20 October, 2003 | SciTech Pty Ltd
Media Cybernetics has released an upgrade of Gel-Pro Analyzer. Gel-Pro Analyzer is designed for molecular biologists who acquire images from electrophoretic gels, blots and colonies and need to extract qualitative and quantitative information from them. Unlike competitive products that require manual input by the user which is time-consuming and leads to irreproducibility, Gel-Pro Analyzer automates molecular weight and amount calculation through the use of pattern recognition of objects, lanes and bands.
Quantitative innoculating loops
20 October, 2003 | Interpath Services Pty Ltd
Interpath Services has a range of accurately calibrated nickel-chrome (NiChrome) wire loops for performing quantitative specimen cultures.
Orbital shakers/incubators
21 September, 2003 | Thermoline L+M
Thermoline L+M has a range of Orbital Shakers and Orbital Shaker Incubators, both refrigerated and non-refrigerated. Shaker plate sizes range in size from 400 x 300 to 600 x 480 and then 960 x 600 mm in the large floor-mounted model. The flask holders range in size from 50 to 2000 mL. The refrigerated models have a temperature range of 0 to +60°C.
Flexible Parallel Synthesis
21 September, 2003 | John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd
John Morris Scientific is delighted to launch a new parallel synthesis solution from Heidolph Instruments. The new Synthesis 1 is a modular system can perform solid and liquid phase reactions as well as micro-rotary evaporations.
Solid phase extraction tubes
21 September, 2003 | Phenomenex Australia
Strata Giga large volume solid phase extraction (SPE) tubes are medical-grade polypropylene tubes in the syringe barrel format with a volume of 12, 20 or 60 mL. The disposable tubes are prepacked with a bed mass ranging from 500 mg to 20 g of Strate SPE sorbents including reversed, normal and ion exchange phases.
Cryogenic safety
21 September, 2003 | BOC Limited
BOC's national delivery service, Cryospeed is a team of service providers, who are trained in the safe delivery and handling of cryogenic liquids and can train staff in cryogenic safety procedures. Delivery options include scheduled milk runs, urgent same day delivery and emergency outside business house delivery of liquid nitrogen, liquid argon and equipment.
Microarray production tool
21 September, 2003 | PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd
The PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences Piezorray is a second-generation, non-contact microarray production tool.
Pipettes
21 September, 2003 | Eppendorf South Pacific Pty Ltd
The Eppendorf PhysioCare Concept pipettes are durable with a three year warranty. They are balanced, designed to fit comfortably in the hand and are lightweight.
Microtitre plate dispensers
21 September, 2003 | BEST Lab Instrumentation Pty Ltd
The FlexiSpense 2 and FlexiSpense 6 Microtitre Plate Dispensers from ASYS Hitech offer automated dispensing solutions to the repetitive reagent addition tasks that are part of 96 or 384 well plate analysis.
