Sigma-Aldrich TruPAGE precast gels
22 May, 2014 | Supplied by: MerckTruPAGE precast gels are designed to provide precise SDS-PAGE protein separation consistently with every consecutive experiment. The gels are formulated with TEA-Tricine and provide a running environment that helps prevent protein modification during the course of the experiment.
Heavy mouse enables hard-hitting research
20 May, 2014Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created the world's first animal enriched with heavy but non-radioactive isotopes. The 'heavy' mouse has enabled the scientists to capture in unprecedented detail the molecular structure of natural tissue by reading the magnetism inherent in the isotopes.
Single-cell analysis inspired by microchips
19 May, 2014US and Korean researchers have developed a device, similar to a random-access memory (RAM) chip, which moves cells rather than electrons. The device could be scaled up to sort and store hundreds of thousands of individual living cells in a matter of minutes.
Thermo Scientific SOLAµ solid-phase extraction plates
15 May, 2014 | Supplied by: Thermo Fisher ScientificThermo Scientific SOLAµ solid-phase extraction (SPE) micro elution plates are designed to deliver robust, reproducible processing at elution volumes as low as 25 µL.
Researchers explore the evolution of enamel
12 May, 2014Geneticists and evolutionary anthropologists at Duke University have identified two segments of DNA where natural selection may have acted to give modern humans their thick tooth enamel - a feature which distinguishes the genus Homo from our primate relatives and forebears.
Building bone marrow-on-a-chip
09 May, 2014Researchers from the Wyss Institute have created a new organ-on-a-chip - a microfluidic device that mimics the physiology of a living organism. The device reproduces the structure, functions and cellular make-up of bone marrow.
Fluorescent dye for DNA detection
08 May, 2014Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a highly sensitive way to detect specific sequences of DNA.
DNA blood test for bowel cancer
06 May, 2014Australian scientists have presented data on a blood test for bowel cancer which is based on two genes that 'leak' into the blood. Developed between biotechnology company Clinical Genomics and CSIRO, the test was clinically validated in collaboration with the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer at Flinders University.
Still no calcification in regenerative tissue technology
05 May, 2014Biotechnology company Admedus has revealed that CardioCel, its collagen cardiovascular scaffold used to repair heart defects, has shown no detectable calcification or any other issues in the six years following implantation.
Oxford Gene Technology SureSeq Solid Tumour Panel
01 May, 2014 | Supplied by: Oxford Gene TechnologyOxford Gene Technology (OGT) has launched the SureSeq Solid Tumour Panel. Fully validated on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, the 60-gene, next-generation sequencing, hybridisation-based enrichment panel offers researchers solid tumour profiling for both known and novel variants.
DiaSorin Liaison Ixt/Arrow CellSep Advanced for automated cell separation
30 April, 2014 | Supplied by: DiaSorin Australia Pty LtdDiaSorin has launched Liaison Ixt/Arrow CellSep Advanced for the automated isolation of cells directly from whole blood or buffy coat. Based on magnetic bead technology, the product can isolate up to three cell types per sample in just 32 min per cell type.
GeneCopoeia stable cell line development services
30 April, 2014 | Supplied by: United Bioresearch Products Pty LtdGeneCopoeia offers services for establishing stable cell lines for protein overexpression, gene knockdown or genome editing which meet the user's specific research needs.
'Achilles heel' of tumour cells discovered
30 April, 2014A study has shown that fast-growing cancer cells are sensitive towards imbalances in the metabolism of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA - a vulnerability that can be exploited for a novel anti-tumour therapeutic approach.
Successful antibody screening study
28 April, 2014Therapeutic antibody supplier MorphoSys and technology company Biametrics will continue their collaboration in the area of high-throughput antibody screening following a successful feasibility study.
