TaqMan Protein Expression Assays
04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: Applied Biosystems Pty Ltd
Applied Biosystems has announced a line of TaqMan real-time PCR assays that enable researchers to rapidly detect and quantify proteins in human cell samples. The TaqMan Protein Expression Assays enable researchers to correlate relative levels of specific proteins with cell functions and behaviours, such as different disease conditions, or states of pluripotency or differentiation in stem cells.
Bio-Rad BioPlex 2200 Anti-CCP test
04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: Bio-Rad Laboratories Pty Ltd
Bio-Rad Laboratories and Axis-Shield have launched Bio-Rad’s BioPlex 2200 Anti-CCP test for the early detection of rheumatoid arthritis. The assay, which will run on Bio-Rad’s BioPlex 2200 system, measures anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies), a novel marker that has been shown to have superior specificity in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The BioPlex 2200 Anti-CCP kit is based on Axis-Shield’s proprietary anti-CCP technology. The assay is available for sale in certain countries outside the US.
PerkinElmer GSP Genetic Screening Processor
04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: PerkinElmer (Australia) Pty Ltd
PerkinElmer has received 510K clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for its GSP Genetic Screening Processor, which is used by public health laboratories worldwide as part of newborn screening programs.
Illumina Genome AnalyzerIIe sequencing system
04 February, 2010 | Supplied by: Illumina Singapore
The Illumina Genome AnalyzerIIe sequencing system has been designed to provide a lower-priced entry point into next-generation sequencing. The system leverages the architecture of Illumina’s Genome AnalyzerIIx and its sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry to generate approximately 200 million paired-end reads and 20 gigabases of data per run at launch. As Illumina introduces advances to increase the output of the Genome AnalyzerIIx to 95 Gb, the output of the Genome AnalyzerIIe is expected to reach 40 Gb and 300 million paired-end reads per run.
Geometry rules RNA shapes
03 February, 2010
It seems that the rules that dictate the three-dimensional shapes of RNA molecules are based simply on geometry and not on complex chemical interactions.
