In this new application note, Millipore describes how a Novel RNA detection reagent enables gene expression analysis in living cells.

This technology allows for carrier- free cellular endocytosis of the reagent, followed by detection and relative quantitative analysis of RNA levels. Because the reagent leaves the cell after the detection event, the same sample can be used for any downstream analysis, meaning you can assess multiple biomarkers or downstream functionalities in the same cells. Additionally, this reagent requires no upfront sample preparation, has no toxic effects on cellular fate and no known nonspecific, off-target effects....

The CLARIOstar is a multimode microplate reader with new Advanced LVF Monochromators (TM), highly sensitive filters, and an ultra-fast spectrometer

Why Not Try The Gyro Mill?

Glen Creston’s  Gy-Ro Mill has been designed with a unique mechanism enabling the optimum amplitude setting to be set for different materials. Amplitude adjustment ensures the best possible results as it can be set to meet the special characteristics of the feed material and the fineness required. The setting also controls the wear rate and consequent degree of contamination from the grinding dish....

At Forum Labo & Biotech, Malvern Instruments will exhibit the latest materials and biophysical characterization technology and instrumentation, including Archimedes, the new Zetasizer Nano ZSP and an extended range of sample dispersion accessories for the Mastersizer 3000.

Fundamental shift from sequential to simultaneous measurement improves accuracy and precision while significantly reducing measurement time

The SPECTRO MS is the first commercially available ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer) capable of truly simultaneous mass spectrometry. A revolutionary new detector placed at the focal plane of the mass spectrometer simultaneously and quantitatively measures the entire mass spectrum, from lithium to uranium...

Molecular Devices, market leader in the electrophysiology and biophysical research markets for over 30 years, announced today the launch of its next generation Axon™ Digidata® 1550 Low-Noise Data Acquisition System.

Considered the industry standard in neuroscience research labs, the new Digidata Platform enables the parallel patching of up to eight cells simultaneously to provide better insight of neuronal network function and capture more data points per experiment.  This new system extends the precision and quality of the existing Axon Digitizer platform to include a higher sampling rate to monitor rapid responders, combined with enhanced performance in low-noise, high resolution 16-bit data acquisition....

Thermo Scientific iAutomate software reduces time needed for optimal system set-up design and provides accurate estimates

Cambio, distributor of high-quality life science products in the UK, is able to supply its customers with a selection of reagents by Microzone.

MegaMix, microLYSIS^® and MicroCLEAN are each specifically designed as convenient and efficient solutions for PCR, DNA release and DNA clean-up respectively. By incorporating these reagents into their procedures, life scientists can save time that would otherwise be spent creating their own mixes, as well as reducing risk of contamination. Thanks to their standardised formulation, the Microzone reagents also dramatically increase the reproducibility of DNA amplification, giving researchers the upmost confidence in their methods, and therefore their results....
