Blood banking test automation
10 September, 2007 | Australian Laboratory Services
BioTek Instruments has developed, in partnership with Immucor, an automated benchtop assay instrument for use in the blood transfusion industry. Manufactured by BioTek exclusively for Immucor, the Galileo Echo provides small to medium sized hospital blood bank laboratories with walk-away automation of tests such as ABO grouping and Rh (D) typing, detection/identification of IgG red blood cell antibodies, compatibility testing and red blood cell phenotyping for significant increases in productivity and patient safety while taking less time than other methods.
Genetic variant identification
10 September, 2007 | Applied Biosystems Pty Ltd
Variant Reporter software is designed to accelerate the analysis of genetic variation data. The Variant Reporter Software reduces manual review time of these data by automating the detection of genetic variants and streamlining the data analysis process. Applied Biosystems expects that the software can reduce by up to half the time currently required to evaluate genetic variation data generated during medical sequencing projects.
High-throughput preparative separations
10 September, 2007 | Phenomenex Australia
Phenomenex's AXIA is an advanced column packing and hardware design that is claimed eliminates bed collapse as a source of failure in short prep columns. Using hydraulic piston compression (HPC) technology, several fundamental problems faced daily by preparative chromatographers have been solved: collapse, voiding or channelling of the support bed after packing - causing premature column failure; variability in bed density - degrading overall reproducibility; low and/or variable efficiency - making scale-up from analytical more difficult; and peak distortion or asymmetry - reducing the return on each purification cycle.

Fast PCR on any real-time cycler
10 September, 2007 | QIAGEN Pty Ltd
QuantiFast Kits are claimed to deliver faster results in real-time PCR. With time savings of up to 60% on existing cyclers claimed, there is no need for hardware upgrades. In addition, no PCR optimisation is required, even if using previously established assays. Kits are available for SYBR Green or probe-based detection in PCR, two-step RT-PCR and one-step RT-PCR.
Low-volume dispenser

The new HT400E is a fully automatic solid phase extraction system and HPLC autosampler for unattended sample preparation and HPLC analysis.
Chromosome-specific paint system
06 August, 2007 | BioScientific Pty Ltd
Star*FISH and Chromotrax paint systems are highly chromosome specific and provide good, even coverage of the chromosome, unlike paints based on cloned libraries. This is because they are prepared from DOP-PCR*-amplified DNA obtained from flow-sorted chromosomes.
Polarimeter
06 August, 2007 | ATA Scientific Pty Ltd
Jasco's P-2000 multi-option polarimeter is designed to be a customisable polarimeter, which can be equipped with various options to handle a researcher's initial requirements and budget; and can also be upgraded in the field at any time as the operator's requirements change. The P-2000 is a simple unit to operate via PC or handheld controller - both equipped with Windows software.
DLS plate reader
06 August, 2007 | Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty Ltd
The DynaPro plate reader performs automated, high-throughput, temperature-controlled dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements with industry-standard well plates without perturbing the samples. This device is designed to achieve rapid screening of unfractionated samples and is suitable for a wide range of applications including protein crystallography, pharmaceutical formulation and antibody aggregation studies. The plate reader uses industry-standard 96, 384 or 1536 well plates and features built-in temperature control as well as compatibility with the industry's liquid handling robots.
