Torrey Pines Scientific EchoTherm HPLC Column Heater CO20
21 January, 2010The Torrey Pines Scientific EchoTherm HPLC Column Heater Model CO20 has a temperature range from room temperature to 90.0°C readable and settable to 0.1°C. The PID temperature control software regulates temperatures to ±0.1°C. Temperature accuracy and stability are good, and there is a stable temperature indicator lamp on the front panel of the unit that lights when the target temperature is stable.
Venom Science Cobra Venom Detection Kit
20 November, 2009 byVenom Science has developed a Cobra Venom Detection Kit to assist in tracing the illegal use of cobra venom by racing trainers, previously difficult to detect. The test involves using specially treated venom antibodies which are labelled with markers that highlight the cobra venom when they come into contact with it.
BD Kaleidoscope reagent and dye expansion program
20 November, 2009 byThe BD Kaleidoscope reagent and dye expansion program includes nearly 200 fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies for flow cytometry
Biomatrica/Qiagen QIAsafe DNA blood products
20 November, 2009 byBiomatrica and Qiagen have launched QIAsafe DNA Blood Products, the first dry blood storage available on a matrix based on Biomatrica’s SampleMatrix technology.
Plug-in detection cartridges
30 September, 2009 byBeckman Coulter has introduced four detection cartridges for its modular plate reader, the Paradigm Detection Platform, that add new capabilities for widely used fluorescence and luminescence applications.
Ion analysis by capillary electrophoresis kits
09 June, 2009 byBeckman Coulter has introduced two kits for anion and cation analysis on the company’s P/ACE MDQ System. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis of ions performed using these kits delivers efficient, rapid separations with small sample requirements and short preparation times. The kits incorporate a dynamic coating technology that claims to produce more consistent migration times than other approaches.
Microbial identification
05 June, 2009 byThe RapID range of microbial identification systems is easy to use and allows the accurate identification of a comprehensive range of microorganisms in 4 hours.
Protein carbonyl assay kit
05 June, 2009 byCayman Chemical’s Protein Carbonyl Assay Kit is a colorimetric assay for the measurement of oxidised proteins. Protein samples are derivatised by making use of the reaction between 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and protein carbonyls.
miRNA profiling kit
08 April, 2009 byAgilent Technologies has released a labelling and hybridisation kit that simplifies the protocol for running miRNA-profiling experiments on oligonucleotide microarrays.
Mutagenicity assay kits
08 April, 2009 byThe Ames II, Ames MPF 98/100, Ames MPF 1535 and Ames MPF 1537 kits can be used to perform the Ames test in the liquid 384-well microplate format with a colorimetric read-out.
Immunoassays
08 April, 2009 byNovagen has introduced multiplex immunoassays for the bead-based Luminex xMAP Technology platform. The range of immuno-assays allows the multiplex quantification of phosphorylated proteins, giving researchers the opportunity to examine changes in cellular signalling that reflect disease states or various drug treatments.
Human isotyping assay
