With its temperature range and speed capabilities, this system is ideal for a wide range of polymer types, including even the most difficult samples.Polymer Laboratories - www.polymerlabs.com Immunoassay kits.The OCTEI ATM OSTASE Bone Alkaline Phosphatase (BAP) enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit uses patented technology to indicate the activity of bone-forming cells called osteoblasts by quantifying levels of BAP, a substance in the blood that reflects bone collagen formation in normal and disease states. Over 10 years of data exist on the BAP antibody, and comparisons of this manual assay with an automated assay for the same antibody showed good correlation and performance; and the assay yields fast results.Immunodiagnostic Systems - www.idsltd.com CCD camera.The MultiBlue Biotech CCD camera offers high image quality, standard interfaces, multipurpose functionality, and a plug-and-play USB 2.0 interface to meet various OEM biotechnology applications. The camera was developed with input from major OEMs of biotech equipment. It is designed for instruments used in a variety of life sciences applications, including gene research and therapy, genomic and proteomic sequencing and expression, gel documentation, and drug discovery.PerkinElmer - www.perkinelmer.com Steel bins.Smartainer stainless steel bins, together with a single-use flexible container, provide a system for handling large volumes of sterile fluids. The system is available in 500-, 1000-, and 1500-L sizes and is designed to accommodate pallet jack and forklift transport. The bins are stackable to save valuable floor space.HyClone - www.hyclone.com Atomic models.Offered under license from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, these CPK, three-dimensional atomic models can be assembled, disassembled, and reassembled easily using simple construction tools. The models are offered in three different ways: as individual atomic models, connectors, and accessories; as sets for constructing specific molecules; and as assembled molecular structures, such as amino acids, purine nitrogen bases, pyrimidine nitrogen bases, purine nucleosides, fatty acids and derivatives, enzyme cofactors, water- and fat-soluble vitamins, and many structures.Harvard Apparatus - www.harvardapparatus.com Plate handler.A plate handler has been integrated into the Opera high-throughput confocal screening system, permitting fully automated cell-based screening. The Opera provides a new level of confocal microplate imaging and serves an increasing demand in drug discovery and high-throughput biology. Combining the Opera and the automated plate handler enables the user to analyze up to 80 Micro titer plates in a fully automated, walk-away mode, managing plate densities from 96- to 2080-well format. Optional bar-code capabilities are provided in addition to date and time identification of individual plates.Evotec Technologies - www.evotec-technologies.com Kit.The Nuclear Receptor product line is used to measure DNA binding activity using TransAM ELISAs, compare agonist/antagonist effects using Nuclear Receptor ELISAs, and perform traditional EMSAs with Gelshift Kits and Western blot using antibodies coupled with recombinant protein or cellular extract positive controls.Active Motif - www.activemotif.com Protein plate.The ISOLUTE PPT+ Protein Precipitation Plate, used for removing unwanted plasma proteins from biological fluid samples prior to LC-MS/MS analysis, is now available.
