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.
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.
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.
Geometry rules RNA shapes
