Non-invasive Quality Control of Cryopreserved Samples

 (in: Laboratory News)
May 23, 2013

Since the dawn of modern medicine, human biological material has been collected, stored, and used for a variety of purposes with biological integrity ensured by cryopreservation at temperatures below -137°C. These samples are almost always unique and irreplaceable but, until now, it has been impossible to quality assure the material before use to check that thermal damage has not occurred.

An operator with EuroCryo, Europe’s largest research biobankIn a recently published paper, a team from Saarland University's Biophysics and Cryotechnology department in Germany has demonstrated a powerful, Raman-scattering technique for monitoring and investigating cryopreserved samples. In particular, they confirmed unambiguously the detection of ice crystals in vitreous samples in situ at temperatures below -120°C....
 

EMBL Choose ambr Micro Bioreactor System for Insect Cell Culture Enabling Rapid Production of Human Multi-protein Complexes using Baculovirus

 (in: Laboratory News)
May 23, 2013

TAP Biosystems, a leading supplier of innovative cell culture systems and consumables for life science applications, today announced its advanced micro bioreactor system (ambr™) is in use at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Grenoble, France, one of the world’s leading structural biology research institutes, for rapid small-scale parallel expression of human multi-protein complexes using baculovirus.

TAP Biosystems’ ambr systemThe ambr micro bioreactor system at EMBL, which was funded by the French Investissement d'Avenir Initiative is being used by EMBL scientists in the Eukaryotic Expression Facility (EEF) for culturing insect cells containing baculovirus expression systems to produce differently engineered human multi-protein complexes for crystallography studies....
 

Keeping a watchful eye on biosecurity with Tecan’s Infinite® F500

 (in: Laboratory News)
May 23, 2013

BioSentinel has selected Tecan’s Infinite® F500 as the reader of choice for its high sensitivity botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) assays.

775-12Dr Ward Tucker, Director of Research and Development at BioSentinel, explained: “Our fluorescence­-based BoTest® and BoCell® assays were developed using a high end, monochromator-based reader; however, we needed a more cost-effective solution that we could recommend to customers who did not already have fluorescence detection capabilities....
 

Curie-Cancer and Roche strengthen partnership to fast-track the development of new molecules

Curie-Cancer and Roche build on four years partnership by increasing translational research programs, speeding up development of new cancer treatments  

Institut Curie.Curie-Cancer, the body responsible for developing Institut Curie’s industry partnership activities, and the Roche Institute for Research and Translational Medicine are strengthening their collaborative efforts.
In 2009, the Institut Curie and Roche signed an initial three-year agreement to partner one another in a major pre-clinical research program. The aim of the partnership was the better understanding of the mechanism of action of a new Roche antibody to target under-served highly aggressive forms of breast cancer. This antibody was the first in a new therapeutic class.
 

New York University Acquires 100th Leica Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope with White Light Laser for Morphogenetic Studies

 (in: Laboratory News)
May 22, 2013

The Leica TCS SP8 X provides total freedom of excitation and emission coupled with low laser power and high sensitivity

NY_University_ChristiaensThe Department of Biology at New York University has been equipped with the 100th Leica TCS SP8 X, a state-of-the-art confocal laser scanning  microscope with a  white light laser. The system offers complete spectral freedom for fluorescence experiments. For live cell imaging, the combination of high sensitivity and low laser power provides better cell viability. The new instrument is installed in the Center for Developmental Genetics and has been used to further Assistant Professor Dr. Lionel Christiaen’s goal of understanding how tissue-specific gene regulatory networks control and coordinate cell behavior during morphogenesis since February 2013....
 

Dolomite expertise brings microfluidic product to market

 (in: Laboratory News)
May 22, 2013

Fledgling spin-out company Drop-Tech has turned to microfluidics specialist Dolomite for its product development and fabrication skills to help productize the advanced and innovative Robo­Drop™ technology into the Mitos Dropix.

Mitos_DropixMitos Dropix is a droplet-on-demand sampler that is set to make it easy to produce extremely miniaturized droplet compartments with excellent control over their contents. The collaboration began when Drop-Tech entered – and won – Dolomite’s Productizing Science® Competition, sparking discussions and exchanges of ideas between the two development teams.
