Enzo Life Sciences Cyto-ID Autophagy Detection Kit
30 September, 2013The Cyto-ID Autophagy Detection Kit from Enzo Life Sciences measures autophagic vacuoles and monitors autophagic flux in live cells using a novel dye that selectively labels autophagic vacuoles.
"Jekyll and Hyde scenario" for immune cells and breast cancer
20 September, 2013Researchers at the University of Adelaide have shown that while the immune cells known as macrophages have a role to play in the normal function of the breast, at certain stages in the menstrual cycle they may also help to make the breast more susceptible to cancer.
Australian invention to standardise and automate IVF process
05 September, 2013Genea Biomedx's Gavi (Genea Automated Vitrification Instrument) was launched to fertility specialists, scientists and nurses at the Fertility Society of Australia conference in Sydney yesterday. It is said that the Australian invention will revolutionise one of the key IVF processes by removing the risk of human error.

13 August, 2013The Greiner Bio-One CELLrepellant Surface range is now available from Interpath Services. The surface technology effectively inhibits cell attachment.
Fluxion Biosciences IsoFlux System for CTC analysis
19 June, 2013The IsoFlux System, from Fluxion, is an automated enrichment system used to isolate circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and other rare cells from biological samples prepared for downstream molecular analysis.
Identifying unsafe stem cells
05 June, 2013CSIRO scientists have developed the first safety test for iPS cells.
Single virus detection techniques for faster disease diagnosis
31 May, 2013Two new optical techniques show promise for counting individual viruses outside the laboratory.
Synbiosis aCOLyte 3 automated colony counter
15 May, 2013Synbiosis has introduced its aCOLyte 3 colony counting system, which is suitable for microbiologists who need to significantly increase their throughput and improve count accuracy.
3D printer can build synthetic tissues
23 April, 2013A custom-built programmable 3D printer, created by Oxford University scientists, can create materials with several of the properties of living tissues. The material consists of thousands of connected water droplets, encapsulated within lipid films, which can perform some of the functions of the cells inside our bodies.
Promega GenePrint 10 System for human cell line authentication and sample identification
04 April, 2013Promega has announced the launch of GenePrint 10 System for human cell line authentication and sample identification. The product includes the eight loci recommended by the ANSI Standard Authentication of Human Cell Lines: Standardization of STR Profiling, plus Amelogenin for gender identification and the highly polymorphic D21S11 locus for additional power of discrimination.
Stem cells produce compact, regenerated bone in mandible transplants
18 March, 2013A study in the latest issue of STEM CELLS Translational Medicine shows how stem cells can be used to successfully repair the mandible after a molar extraction and that, years later, the new bone is still functioning properly.
Treating Alzheimer’s with insulating cells
15 March, 2013Insulating cells - the cells that protect our nerves - can be made and added to the central nervous system throughout our lifetime. There is now evidence that these cells may not be the passive bystanders to brain function that we once thought.
Reproduction at zero gravity
14 March, 2013University of Montreal researchers have found that changes in gravity affect the reproductive process in plants. Gravity modulates traffic on the intracellular ‘highways’ that ensure the growth and functionality of the male reproductive organ in plants - the pollen tube.
