GenoLogics Geneus LIMS system
07 October, 2010 byGenoLogics is providing the Queensland Centre for Medical Genomics (QCMG) with Geneus, a LIMS system that is built to enable genomics research. Geneus will help them to manage the sequencing data produced by the 11 Applied Biosystems SOLiD systems, currently in use in the lab. The next-generation sequencing instruments at QCMG are generating terabytes of data on a weekly basis and sample tracking is quickly becoming unmanageable with existing Google docs, spreadsheets and other manual methods.
Applied Biosystems Dx Genetic Analyzer
07 October, 2010 byThe Dx Genetic Analyzer is now available in Australia and New Zealand as an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical device as an IVD medical device.
BaySpec 1stGuard handheld Raman analyser
06 October, 2010The BaySpec 1stGuard handheld Raman analyser is specifically targeted for identification of hazardous materials, unknown substances and industrial-grade materials. It is designed to meet the needs of people on the move, allowing personnel to quickly and accurately identify unknown chemical substances on the spot. It is battery operated, lightweight, ruggedised and easy to use.
StellARray Gene Expression System Revealing Profiles with Unbiased Significance Application Examples
07 September, 2010 by Daniel Shaffer, Aaron Brown, William Olver, Bar Harbor BioTechnology, Inc. and Marjorie Smithhisler, Lonza Walkersville, Inc.In this paper, we present three application examples demonstrating the utility of the StellARray Gene Expression System to reveal gene expression level changes in diverse biological contexts such as toxicology, cancer, and stem cell differentiation.
To shmoo or not to shmoo?
06 July, 2010Yeast cells decide whether to have sex with each other within two minutes of meeting according to research published in ‘Nature’. One of the authors of the study, from Imperial College London, says the new insights into how yeast cells decide to mate could be helpful for researchers looking at how cancer cells and stem cells develop.
Qiagen expands partnership
21 June, 2010Qiagen has entered into an agreement with the Dutch molecular diagnostic component supplier Genome Diagnostics, which covers the development and commercialisation of six new tests until 2011.
Genome bar-coding system reveals large-scale variation in human DNA
02 June, 2010"Our newer genome analysis systems, if commercialised, promise genome analysis in one hour, at under $1000," Schwartz says. "And we require that high speed and low cost to power the new field of personal genomics."
Bar Harbor BioTechnology StellARray Gene Expression System
27 May, 2010The StellARray Gene Expression System’s qPCR system helps users to focus on the genes relevant for their individual research area while freeing gene expression profiling from unwanted bias.
Computational feat speeds finding of genes to milliseconds instead of years
08 May, 2010 byLike a magician who says, “Pick a card, any card”, Stanford University computer scientist Debashis Sahoo, PhD, seemed to be offering some kind of trick when he asked researchers at the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine to pick any two genes already known to be involved in stem cell development.
