Antibody-based protein depletion column
06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Merck
The Seppro IgY depletion platform is an antibody-based technology for processing plasma, serum and plant samples. It enables researchers to detect and analyse commonly obscured biomarkers in samples by removing highly abundant proteins.
Haematology analyser
06 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Beckman Coulter Australia
The 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.
