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.
Human isotyping assay
08 April, 2009 byThe Bio-Plex Pro human isotyping panel allows detection of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, IgE and IgM, in a single multiplex assay.
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.
Acute phase assays
08 April, 2009 byBio-Plex Pro human acute phase assays can deliver accurate and reproducible measurements of nine commonly studied acute phase markers: a-2-Macroglobulin, CRP, ferritin, fibrinogen, haptoglobin, procalcitonin, SAA, serum amyloid P (SAP) and tissue plasminogen activator. A snapshot of panel performance is demonstrated by representative parallelism and linearity of sample dilution in normal human serum and plasma.
Aflatoxin test kits
06 April, 2009 byGraintec supplies rapid aflatoxin test kits for pet food and food manufacturers.
HER2 assay kit
06 April, 2009 byThe FDA-approved Thermo Scientific Spot-Light HER2 CISH Kit is designed to allow users to perform an HER2 assay analogous to routine immunohistochemistry (IHC) that provides reliable gene status information and improves on the results obtained by fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH).
GFP-certified apoptosis/necrosis detection system
11 March, 2009This GFP-certified apoptosis/necrosis detection system includes all the necessary reagents for determination of early and late stages of apoptosis as well as necrosis.
Listeria environmental testing
01 January, 2009The Microgen Path-Chek Listeria kit is a system for the detection ofListeria species from the environment. It is simple and safe to use in the field. Simply swab the surface and snap the swab tip into the Path-Check Listeria Detection tube and incubate.
Protein carbonyl assay kit
01 January, 2009Cayman 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.
p53 transcription factor assay kit
01 January, 2009Cayman’s p53 Transcription Factor Assay is a non-radioactive, sensitive method for detecting specific transcription factor DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts.
PSA/fPSA immunoassay analysis
01 December, 2008Olympus has released PSA and fPSA assays for the Olympus AU3000i immunoassay analyser. The assays feature assay sensitivity of 0.015 µg/L. In the monitoring of patients after prostate cancer treatment, the sensitive PSA assay is suitable for the detection of recurrence of the disease.
Breast cancer detection
06 March, 2008The Fermiscan Test is a safe, non-invasive technology that utilises X-ray diffraction of hair fibres to screen and monitor women of all ages for breast cancer. The Fermiscan Test will be available for women in Australia in 2008 and Fermiscan is also commencing further clinical trials and regulatory approval processes in the US.
