Growing human embryonic stem cells
06 December, 2007 | Life Technologies
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), the building blocks for all cell types in the human body, may be harnessed for potential applications in cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Currently, hESC culture and expansion methods require the use of serum, mouse or human fibroblast feeder layers, or feeder-conditioned medium. These culture methods are labour intensive and hard to scale, and it is difficult to maintain hESCs in an undifferentiated state because of significant sources of variability such as growth factor fluctuations during culture.
Gene-based search tool

Your Favorite Gene (www.sigma.com/yfg) is a comprehensive, web-based search tool that matches genes of interest against thousands of Sigma-Aldrich research products. This flexible search engine matches 150,000 shRNAs, 725,000 siRNAs, 4000 antibodies, proteins and kits, and 1000 bioactive small molecules to specific genes of interest.
Optical sectioning in real time
06 December, 2007 | ZEISS Group
Conventional wide field fluorescent imaging is hindered by the detection of out of focus light above and below the specimen plane being examined. This has limited traditional fluorescent microscopes to a Z-direction resolution of approximately 1 µm. This limitation has spurred the adoption of the laser scanning microscope (LSM) into examination of subcellular biology with the capability of Z-resolutions below 0.5 µm.
Micro RNA profiling
07 November, 2007 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
Qiagen has added to its portfolio of miRNA technologies with the introduction of the miScript System, which enables detection and quantification of miRNA, as well as mRNA and other small RNA, using SYBR Green-based, real-time PCR.
Fluorescent secondary antibodies and streptavidin conjugates
07 November, 2007 | BioScientific Pty Ltd
NorthernLights (from R&D Systems) fluorescent secondary antibodies and streptavidin conjugates are bright and resistant to photobleaching.
Laboratory freeze driers
07 November, 2007 | AVT Services Pty Limited
The range of Telstar laboratory freeze driers currently comprises three sizes, offering 4 to 35 kg of ice condenser capacity with a choice of condenser temperatures of -50 to -80°C.
