Coming soon - transfection of cells in adherence using the Amaxa Nucleofector 96-well Shuttle system

01 April, 2010 | Supplied by: Capsugel Australia Pty Ltd

Primary cells or cell lines derived from solid tissue, eg endothelial, epithelial or neuronal tissue, typically grow in adherence when transferred into cell culture.


Applied Biosystems 3500 Series Genetic Analyzer

30 March, 2010 | Supplied by: Applied Biosystems Pty Ltd

LifeTechnologies has launched a genetic analysis system designed to optimise data quality and deliver increased reliability, performance, quality assurance and ease of use specifically for forensic DNA testing laboratories.


TruMac nitrogen/protein macro determinator

30 March, 2010 | Supplied by: Leco Australia Pty Ltd

The TruMac nitrogen/protein macro determinator can be used to analyse macro samples (up to 3 g) with a claimed minimal cost-per-analysis and rapid analysis times.


BioPlex 2200 anti-CCP assay test

30 March, 2010 | Supplied by: Bio-Rad Laboratories

The BioPlex 2200 anti-CCP test, based on Axis-Shield’s anti-CCP technology, can be used for the early detection of rheumatoid arthritis. The assay measures anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies), a novel marker that has been shown to have good specificity in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.


Qmount Qdot Mounting Media

30 March, 2010 | Supplied by: Life Technologies

Qmount Qdot Mounting Media is a nonaqueous, permanent mountant designed for samples labelled with Qdot nanocrystals. It is claimed that Qmount media causes no significant loss of Qdot fluorescence, both initially and over the course of several months.


In Vitro Technologies APS One petri dish filling system

12 March, 2010 | Supplied by: In Vitro Technologies Pty Ltd

The APS One petri dish filling system can carry out a complete culture media dispensing cycle without supervision. With a large plate loading capacity it is suitable as a ‘walk-away’ pouring system.


Detecting the proteins that make us age

04 March, 2010

Chemists and biologists from the University of Bath have developed a new technique that could be used to diagnose and develop treatments for age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and cancer.


GeneCopoeia expression-ready clones

04 March, 2010 | Supplied by: United Bioresearch Products Pty Ltd

GeneCopoeia full-length expression-ready clones can be used to accelerate research and publish faster.


Aberrant proteins and prions

04 March, 2010

Scientists have determined how a normal protein can be converted into a prion, an infectious agent that causes fatal brain diseases in humans and mammals.


ID Labs IDTox Assay Kits

05 February, 2010 | Supplied by: http://www.idlabs.com/product/datasheets/SUP6001.pdf

IDTox Assay Kits from ID Labs, available from United Bioresearch, are designed to monitor toxicity in mammalian serum samples.


Illumina Genome AnalyzerIIe sequencing system

04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: Illumina Singapore

The Illumina Genome AnalyzerIIe sequencing system has been designed to provide a lower-priced entry point into next-generation sequencing. The system leverages the architecture of Illumina’s Genome AnalyzerIIx and its sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry to generate approximately 200 million paired-end reads and 20 gigabases of data per run at launch. As Illumina introduces advances to increase the output of the Genome AnalyzerIIx to 95 Gb, the output of the Genome AnalyzerIIe is expected to reach 40 Gb and 300 million paired-end reads per run.


Bio-Rad BioPlex 2200 Anti-CCP test

04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd

Bio-Rad Laboratories and Axis-Shield have launched Bio-Rad’s BioPlex 2200 Anti-CCP test for the early detection of rheumatoid arthritis. The assay, which will run on Bio-Rad’s BioPlex 2200 system, measures anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies), a novel marker that has been shown to have superior specificity in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The BioPlex 2200 Anti-CCP kit is based on Axis-Shield’s proprietary anti-CCP technology. The assay is available for sale in certain countries outside the US.


PerkinElmer GSP Genetic Screening Processor

04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd

PerkinElmer has received 510K clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for its GSP Genetic Screening Processor, which is used by public health laboratories worldwide as part of newborn screening programs.


TaqMan Protein Expression Assays

04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: Applied Biosystems Pty Ltd

Applied Biosystems has announced a line of TaqMan real-time PCR assays that enable researchers to rapidly detect and quantify proteins in human cell samples. The TaqMan Protein Expression Assays enable researchers to correlate relative levels of specific proteins with cell functions and behaviours, such as different disease conditions, or states of pluripotency or differentiation in stem cells.


Geometry rules RNA shapes

03 February, 2010

It seems that the rules that dictate the three-dimensional shapes of RNA molecules are based simply on geometry and not on complex chemical interactions.
