PROMOTIONS
Micronic - FREE 1D Rack Barcode Reader with Purchase of RS210 or RD235 CRYO Tracxer 2D Code Reader
RS210 is a small bench top rack scanner that can read 2D codes quickly and cost effectively within 5 seconds. The compact reader is built for high throughput and automated systems.
RD235 CRYO rack scanners feature high resolution imaging technology (camera based vs. CCD image sensor) for accurate 2D code reading, and an anti-frost system so that codes can be read from frozen samples.
With the FREE 1D Rack Barcode Reader mounted on these scanners, and the Tracxer software can read both the 1D rack barcode and 2D tube codes simultaneously.

TECHNICAL REPORT
EpiCypher - AlphaNuc™ NSD2 HMT Assay - A Nucleosome-based Approach for the Discovery of Inhibitors of NSD2
AlphaNuc is a novel assay platform combining EpiCypher’s industry-leading recombinant nucleosomes with the AlphaScreen detection system from PerkinElmer to detect histone modifying enzyme activity on nucleosomal substrates. Nucleosomes are the physiologically relevant substrate for many histone modifying enzymes. Here we show the development of a robust, non-radioactive HMT assay utilizing recombinant nucleosomes and the histone methyltransferase NSD2. This assay has a high Z’ value and is suitable for adaptation to high-throughput screening.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Associates of Cape Cod Inc. (ACC) – Pyrosate® Kit Update
The Pyrosate® Kit was FDA licensed in 2014 for use per the USP BET. In the current kit configuration, a compliant test must be performed using Reference Standard Endotoxin (RSE). This option is more expensive and provides a shorter reconstitution expiry date when performing the Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET). ACC now offers a more user‐friendly alternative which will allow the use of the 2λ* Positive Product Control (PPC) included in the Pyrosate® Kit as a replacement for the RSE. This will result in a more cost effective and economically viable test. Additionally, due to the shortened expiration date of the disposable transfer pipettes, they will no longer be sold in the 10 Test Pyrosate® Kit configurations (SKPSD03010, SKPSD12510, SKPSD25010). They will however continue to be sold separately under product number SKPPT50.

*λ (lambda) is the lowest concentration of endotoxin to cause a positive test result under standard conditions.
