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.
Digital photomicrography
21 September, 2003 | ZEISS Group
Carl Zeiss presents two new digital cameras for photomicrography in biomedical research: the AxioCam HRm digital camera with optimum resolution, 14 bit digitisation and microscanning feature, and the AxioCam MRm high-resolution, scientific digital camera with 12 bit digitisation.
Multi-well membrane bottom plates
21 September, 2003 | Pall (Australia) Pty Ltd
The AcroPrep and AcroWell Filter Plates are a range of 96 and 384 well membrane bottom filter plates, which are available with microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes. All plates are single piece construction and are made of polypropylene. Plates are available in a selection of natural, white and black.
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.
Protein conformation
21 September, 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.
Pipetting robot
18 August, 2003 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
Theonyx is an automation platform developed by MWG Biotech in partnership with Sias AG. Theonyx is characterised by flexibility as the system's modular set-up allows the combination of a multitude of functions on just one robot. Liquid handling dynamics are driven by a micro annular gear pump mechanism within the robot arm itself. For the user this means a dynamic range of less than 1 µL up to more than 3 mL, within a single pipetting action, and without compromises in accuracy or precision.
Peptide/protein biomarker tools
18 August, 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.
Dialysis for IC
18 August, 2003 | Metrohm Australia & New Zealand
Samples for ion chromatography need to be clear, clinically pure, with no bacteria or particles. Apart from the ions to be determined, however, most samples still contain large amounts of aggressive substances that make an analysis difficult. With 'MISP', the Metrohom inline sample preparation system, Metrohm now provides a range of possibilities and methods that allow users to automate sample preparation and make it considerably more efficient than was previously possible.
AP/MALDI
18 August, 2003 | ProteoMass Australia Pty Ltd
The MassTech Atmospheric Pressure Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation (AP/MALDI) source is now available in Australia and New Zealand.
Microarray fluorescence reader
18 August, 2003 | Beckman Coulter Australia
Beckman Coulter has introduced a fluorescence-based CCD microplate reader for the automatic quantitation of hundreds of protein analytes on the A2 MicroArray Plate. The A2 MicroArray Reader has been specially designed to work with the A2 MicroArray System to quantitate multiplexed immunoassays. Part of the ProteomeLab family of products, this protein microarray system has the potential to allow users to detect and quantitate protein-protein interactions, protein immunoassays, DNA-protein interactions, enzymatic reactions and other protein assays.
Microscopy platform
18 August, 2003 | Leica Microsystems Pty Ltd
Leica Microsystems has released a series of digital microscopes that simplify microscopy. The series includes the Leica DM4000 B and DM5000 B for routine and research biological applications, diagnostics, cancer research, cell biology and biotechnology.
