Automated colony counter and zone sizing system
10 August, 2009 bySynbiosis has launched the ProtoCOL 2 system for rapid, accurate automated colony counting and zone measurement.
Intracellular RNA stabilisation
05 June, 2009 byPreAnalytiX has received marketing clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for the automation of the PAXgene Blood RNA System on the QIAcube. This clearance enables laboratories to automate an IVD purification method which is part of an integrated IVD blood collection method for intracellular RNA.
Organ perfusion system
08 April, 2009 byThe Advanced Research PSCI Perfusion System is designed for harvesting individual cells from the isolated organs of mice, rats and guinea pigs. The system features dual perfusion pathways — one circuit delivers perfusate to flush out blood cells, while a second circuit delivers an enzyme solution to disintegrate tissue and release individual cells.
Imaging flow cytometer
08 April, 2009 byAmnis has released an Extended Depth of Field (EDF) upgrade for its ImageStream imaging flow cytometer.
Tissue bath
08 April, 2009 byThe Mayflower Tissue Bath System is suitable for investigations on small muscle preparations, vascular rings or tracheal rings.
Isolated heart chamber
07 April, 2009 byThe IH-SR Isolated Heart for Small Rodents from Hugo Sachs Elektronik–Harvard Apparatus is suitable for experiments on mice, hamsters, rats and guinea pigs.
Robotic protein handling
07 April, 2009 byThe Rigaku Actor robotic protein crystal handling system for automated crystal sample mounting and storage eliminates much of the physical handling of samples by crystallographers during routine screening and data collection in the laboratory or at the beamline.
Hepatocyte isolation system
06 April, 2009 byThe Worthington Hepatocyte Isolation System has been designed to provide researchers with a reliable, convenient and consistent hepatocyte cell isolation system.
Haematology analyser
06 April, 2009 byThe UniCel DxH 800 Coulter cellular analysis system is designed for mid- to high-volume laboratories. It features high-definition signal processing and multi-angle light scatter, which is claimed to produce more data than traditional haematology analysers. Moving parts are minimised to increase instrument reliability, and the modular design and small footprint make it suitable for smaller laboratories.
Automated cell counter
06 April, 2009 byThe Countess Automated Cell Counter offers easy and accurate cell counting and viability counts. It produces data on cell cultures in 30 s.
Automated UV/vis colony counter
01 January, 2009Synbiosis has released a multi-application Protocol UV automated colony counting and zone measurement system. This can rapidly and accurately count colonies or image zones illuminated by UV or white light.
Automated gentle tissue dissociator
08 September, 2008The gentleMACS dissociator is a benchtop instrument for the automated dissociation of tissues. The instrument offers programs for a variety of specific applications.
Automated colony counting and zone sizing
08 April, 2008The Synbiosis ProtoCOL automated colony counting and zone sizing systems can be used to speed up testing of antibiotics for therapeutic use and to collect and monitor zone size data for surveillance purposes.
Automated gentle tissue dissociator
07 February, 2008The gentleMACS Dissociator is a benchtop instrument for the automated dissociation of tissues.
Embryonic stem cells
26 June, 2007Researchers at Children’s Hospital Boston have reported a new and efficient strategy, using eggs alone, for creating mouse embryonic stem cells that can be transplanted without the risk of rejection because the cells are compatible with the recipient’s immune system.
