Respiratory Assay simultaneously detects 22 pathogens.
2015-04-17 14:31:07| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
With tube strip design accommodating throughput required to respond to seasonal changes in demand, NxTAG™ Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RUO) lets laboratories simultaneously detect 22 respiratory pathogens in closed tube system. Functionality minimizes required hands-on time and eliminates upstream reagent preparation requirements. Total turnaround time is ~3 hr for 96 samples (excluding extraction), and accompanying SYNCT™ Software provides data analysis and reporting.

Optimizing assay window width via thallium-sensitive indicator dye and masking agent, FLIPR® Potassium Assay Kit can be used measure ligand- and voltage-gated potassium channel activity – even those with low conductance or low expression levels. Proprietary masking agent reduces background fluorescence and enhances SNR, while no-wash format simplifies automation using 96-, 384-, and 1,536-well formats in FLIPR and FlexStation microplate readers.

Imaging And Analysis Of A High Density Cell Migration Assay
2014-11-25 16:04:37| drugdiscoveryonline Downloads
Complex biological or environmental signaling events can lead to cell migration, the movement of cells from one location to another. The migration of cells commonly occurs during both normal biological processes such as the development of an organism or marking pathological events such as cancer metastasis. Automated processes in higher density formats improve throughput greatly increasing the usefulness of performing migration assays at a larger scale. This study evaluated the use of a high density cell exclusion assay in 384- well format for investigation of cell migration using a cell line stably expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP).
