Infectious disease serology panels
22 September, 2009 | Supplied by: Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd
Bio-Rad Laboratories has received FDA clearance of two multiplex infectious disease serology panels for use on the BioPlex 2200 system: the BioPlex ToRC IgG panel and the BioPlex HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG panel. The BioPlex 2200 system is a fully automated, random access platform that employs multiplexing technology to analyse multiple disease markers from a single patient sample.
Blood dry storage products
22 September, 2009 | Supplied by: QIAGEN Pty Ltd
Biobanks are the intermediary between donors and research labs to ensure the safe, effective transfer of the biological information held in samples. The number of biobanks is increasing, as is the cost for power to store the samples at the appropriate refrigerated temperature. The current standard for storage is either at -20 or -70 °C. It is costly for biobanks not only to keep these samples cold, but also to house the refrigerators within their laboratories. New methods are being sought to allow storage at room temperature, thus reducing costs as well as being environmentally friendly. Qiagen has launched the QIAsafe DNA Blood Kit to provide easy transport and storage of whole blood at room temperature.
Cell density meter
22 September, 2009 | Supplied by: Pacific Laboratory Products
The Biochrom CO 8000 Cell Density Meter is a simple, reliable instrument that measures the density of cells grown in suspension by measuring OD at 600 nm. This makes this instrument suitable for cells grown in suspension such as yeast and bacterial cultures.
