Ion Torrent Ion OneTouch automated sample preparation system
16 June, 2011 byThe Ion Torrent Ion OneTouch System is an automated sample preparation system for the Ion Personal Genome Machine (PGM) sequencer that eliminates complexity, reduces hands-on time to 5 min and offers walk-away convenience.
Building a complete metabolic model
22 September, 2009Scientists have developed a comprehensive model of the metabolic network overlaid with an atomic resolution of network proteins of Thermotoga maritim.
Photometric analyser
08 April, 2009 byInnovatis has introduced the CuBiAn Photometric Biochemistry Analyser, a fully automated, membrane-free chemical analyser that measures key parameters in cell culture media, including IgG. The analyser is designed to provide robust usage and high reproducibility with minimal calibration and maintenance requirements.
Metabolite detection kits
07 April, 2009 byThe Cayman Chemical Nitrate/Nitrite Colormetric Assay Kit provides an accurate and convenient method for measurement of total nitrate/nitrite concentration in a simple two-step process.
Organ chamber
01 July, 2008The Moist Chamber type 834/8 from Harvard Apparatus is a flexible and useful tool for perfusion of organs, such as liver and kidney from typical rodent models.
Metabolite identification software
06 March, 2008MetWorks 1.1.0 is an updated version of Thermo Fisher Scientific's metabolite identification software. The software facilitates automated acquisition, processing and reporting of LC/MSn data in support of biotransformation studies. MetWorks software is compatible with all Thermo Scientific mass spectrometers capable of performing MS/MS and MSn fragmentation. In addition, MetWorks allows high-resolution accurate mass data from the Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap and LTQ FT instruments to be fully leveraged.
Metabolite identification
09 October, 2006Applied Biosystems and its joint venture partner, MDS Sciex have announced the global availability of a drug discovery application that enables pharmaceutical companies and contract research organisations to more quickly and accurately screen drug candidates.
Metabolic mouse cage
21 April, 2005The Nalgene mouse metabolic cage is claimed to be the first metabolic cage specifically designed to collect urine and faeces from a single mouse.
Metabolomics - an important emerging science
08 March, 2005 by Dr John Ryals*As with any emerging science there is some controversy regarding nomenclature, but the newly formed Metabolomics Society seems to be adhering to a convention consistent with the other '-omic' sciences
