The deadly E. coli outbreak
04 November, 2011
The mention of E. coli O157:H7 sends a chill through the spine of every food processor. This deadly pathogen has been implicated in disease outbreaks all over the world and only a small load can cause illness. But in the latest outbreak in Germany and France, a new serotype is proving even more deadly.

Oxford Expression Technologies superSf9 cells
17 October, 2011 | Supplied by: BioNovus Life Sciences
The superSf9 cells from Oxford Expression Technologies offer improved recombinant protein yield using the baculovirus protein expression system. The superSf9 cells are transgenic insect Sf9 cells that have been engineered to stably express an additional protein. The presence of this protein leads to prolonged longevity after infection with baculovirus and up to a 15-fold increase in recombinant protein production in baculovirus infected superSf9 cells compared with standard Sf9 cells.

Qiagen Multiplex PCR Plus Kit
25 August, 2011 | Supplied by: QIAGEN Pty Ltd
The Qiagen Multiplex PCR Plus Kit has been designed for rapid and sensitive multiplex PCR that allows researchers to amplify several targets in one PCR run. The kit provides fast reaction times and comes with a preoptimised protocol, eliminating the need for optimisation and delivering reliable results on the first attempt.
Innova Biosciences imm-Link Immunogen Linking Kits
19 August, 2011 | Supplied by: BioNovus Life Sciences
Innova Biosciences imm-Link Immunogen Linking Kits are claimed to simplify the conjugation of haptens to carrier proteins. Large immune responses are stimulated by BSA, Ovalbumin and Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) and are typically used as carrier proteins to generate antibodies against small antigens (eg, peptides or organic compounds ie, the ‘hapten’). To successfully stimulate the production of antibodies, the antigen needs to be covalently linked to a carrier protein.
Integrated DNA Technologies Pre-designed and custom assays primers and probes for qPCR
18 August, 2011 | Supplied by: Glycon Pty Ltd
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) provides a broad range of custom qPCR assays, primers and probes. PrimeTime qPCR Assays are available in three different sizes (Mini, Standard and XL) and provide the forward and reverse primers, as well as a hydrolysis probe in a single tube. Primers and probes are also available separately, including the Double-Quenched Probe which increases accuracy and sensitivity through the incorporation of an internal ZEN quencher. As such, users are provided with an option to meet any experimental requirements.
Seahorse Extracellular Flux (XF) Analyzer
