Promega CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay for 3D microtissue culture
17 June, 2014Promega has launched an assay validated for assessing the viability of cells in three-dimensional (3D) microtissue model systems. CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay penetrates large 3D microtissue samples to provide accurate determination of viable cells.
Cosmo Bio Mebiol Gel 3D thermoreversible hydrogel
11 June, 2014A notable feature of Mebiol Gel is its temperature-reversible sol-gel transition. When cooled, the product handles like a liquid, but becomes a rigid hydrogel at higher temperatures. In practice, this means easy cell handling.
Manipulating stem cells to repair brain damage
04 June, 2014A scientist from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is hoping to unlock the potential of stem cells as a way of repairing neural damage to the brain.
Heavy mouse enables hard-hitting research
20 May, 2014Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created the world's first animal enriched with heavy but non-radioactive isotopes. The 'heavy' mouse has enabled the scientists to capture in unprecedented detail the molecular structure of natural tissue by reading the magnetism inherent in the isotopes.
Single-cell analysis inspired by microchips
19 May, 2014US and Korean researchers have developed a device, similar to a random-access memory (RAM) chip, which moves cells rather than electrons. The device could be scaled up to sort and store hundreds of thousands of individual living cells in a matter of minutes.
Building bone marrow-on-a-chip
09 May, 2014Researchers from the Wyss Institute have created a new organ-on-a-chip - a microfluidic device that mimics the physiology of a living organism. The device reproduces the structure, functions and cellular make-up of bone marrow.
Still no calcification in regenerative tissue technology
05 May, 2014Biotechnology company Admedus has revealed that CardioCel, its collagen cardiovascular scaffold used to repair heart defects, has shown no detectable calcification or any other issues in the six years following implantation.
GeneCopoeia stable cell line development services
30 April, 2014GeneCopoeia offers services for establishing stable cell lines for protein overexpression, gene knockdown or genome editing which meet the user's specific research needs.
DiaSorin Liaison Ixt/Arrow CellSep Advanced for automated cell separation
30 April, 2014DiaSorin has launched Liaison Ixt/Arrow CellSep Advanced for the automated isolation of cells directly from whole blood or buffy coat. Based on magnetic bead technology, the product can isolate up to three cell types per sample in just 32 min per cell type.
Stem cells demonstrate rare absorption property
24 April, 2014Scientists at the University of Cambridge have found that stem cells demonstrate a bizarre property, known as auxeticity, never before seen at a cellular level.
Ebers Medical tissue engineering bioreactors
03 March, 2014Ebers Medical develops, manufactures and commercialises devices for research in cell culture with special emphasis in the field of bioreactors and culture chambers for tissue engineering. The bioreactors are used to reproduce in an in vitro culture environment some of the conditions which cells experience when growing in vivo by using two different approaches: the application of controlled flow rates or the direct deformation of the scaffolds in which cells are seeded.
NanoEntek JulI FL fluorescence live cell movie analyser
28 February, 2014The JuLI FL is a smart fluorescence live cell movie analyser and counter. The product uses state-of-the-art optics to get live cell images from various cell culture dishes and can perform cell-based assays, including cell counting, cell viability and GFP/RFP expression level checking.
Stem cell competition caught on tape
21 February, 2014The epithelial lining of the small intestine needs to be regenerated by stem cells every few days in order to stay functional. Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute have captured recordings of these stem cells in living mice.
Genea Biocells becomes largest provider of human embryonic stem cells
17 February, 2014Australian stem cell company Genea Biocells has become the world’s largest provider of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines on the USA National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stem Cell Registry.
Qiagen REPLI-g WTA Single Cell Kit and REPLI-g Cell WGA & WTA Kit
13 February, 2014The REPLI-g WTA Single Cell Kit and REPLI-g Cell WGA & WTA Kit enable transcriptomic NGS analysis from single cells and comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis from the same small sample.
