New Probes for Directly Detecting Nucleotide-Protein Interactions 24 Aug 2010: Mant-ATP and Mant-GTP from AnaSpec are the fluorescent analogs of ATP and GTP where either the ribose 2’-hydroxy or the 3’-hydroxy group is esterified by the fluorescent methylisatoic acid. The highly environmentally sensitive fluorescence of Mant makes Mant-ATP and Mant-GTP useful probes for directly detecting nucleotide-protein interactions at Ex/Em=355/448 nm. AnaSpec Inc.
Heathrow Scientific Expands Steel Freezer Rack Line 20 Aug 2010: Heathrow Scientific has expanded the range of rack sizes for both upright and chest freezers to accommodate safely stored samples in the most popularly-sized freezers. All racks are corrosion-resistant, stainless steel and have handles for easy access. Heathrow Scientific
New In-Line Granulation Measurement System for Pharmaceutical Development 20 Aug 2010: METTLER TOLEDO has launched the new FBRM® C35 Ex in-line granulation measurement system. The robust granulation monitoring provided by the FBRM C35 Ex tracks changes to granule distribution in real-time. This enables formulators and engineers to adjust for changes in particle count and dimension during cohesive wet or dry particle processing. METTLER TOLEDO AG

New Diagnostic Test Helping in the Fight Against Ovarian Cancer 20 Aug 2010: A new test for ovarian cancer was demonstrated to be 99% to 100% accurate over 100 patient samples by Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology. This new diagnostic technique is able to test a single drop of blood serum using JEOL's AccuTOF™-DART® mass spectrometer. JEOL USA
Easy Gene Delivery into Hard to Transfect Cells 19 Aug 2010: A new range of expression ready lentiviral particles from AMSBIO allow easy gene delivery into hard to transfect cells including primary cells, non-dividing cells and cells in suspension. The particles are supplied ready-to-use eliminating the need for any lipids or transfection reagents. AMSBIO
New Antimicrobial GO® Peptides from AnaSpec 19 Aug 2010: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are peptides that form part of the host’s important innate immunity mechanism against pathogenic microorganisms such as Gram positive and negative bacteria, fungi and viruses. AMPs are short peptides (<60 amino acids), exhibit a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity at physiological conditions and are predominantly cationic. AnaSpec Inc.
