Drug target screening panels
07 April, 2006 | Supplied by: Applied Biosystems Pty LtdApplied Biosystems has introduced four gene signature panels as part of its TaqMan low density array range for real-time PCR applications.
Gene knockout vectors
07 April, 2006 | Supplied by: MerckSigma-Aldrich has introduced TargeTron vectors designed for use with the TargeTron gene knockout system. The vectors enhance the capabilities and increase the flexibility of the system providing researchers with a targeted method to knock out multiple genes in prokaryotic organisms, to generate knockouts without using selection or by using removable selection and to produce knockouts in organisms lacking a source of T7 RNA polymerase.

Application to characterise structure of DNA molecules
03 March, 2006An application to enable more precise measurement of the location of a fluorescent label in a DNA layer has been developed by a team of researchers from Boston University in the US.
Foetal sex diagnosis from cervical mucus
16 February, 2006Blackwell Publishing, in partnership with Royal Australia and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (RANZCOG) has released a study on foetal sex diagnosis.
Laboratory diagnosis of anthrax
16 February, 2006The Food and Drug Administration has reviewed Idaho Technology's 510(k) application and cleared the Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) for use as an aid in the laboratory of diagnosis of anthrax. The JBAIDS Anthrax Detection System can detect the gene components of Bacillus anthracis in a variety of environmental sample types, and also clinical blood samples as well as cultured organisms.
Ovarian cancer diagnostic test
13 February, 2006Proteome Systems has announced a collaboration with Prince Henry's Institute Medical Research (PHIMR) to combine their IP and expertise in ovarian cancer for the discovery and development of novel diagnostic markers.
Cell harvesting and blood separation
08 February, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.beckman.com/Beckman Coulter has introduced an adapter that spins 50 mL conical tubes in the Allegra X-15R and X-12 Series benchtop centrifuges. The adapter accommodates 28 tubes per run in a BioCertified, self-balancing rotor and is suitable for cell harvesting and blood separation applications. The adapter runs at up to 5250 x g in the Aries 4 x 750 mL self-balancing rotor, which detects and automatically corrects for imbalance, continuing the run without shutdown.
