NEW SUPPLIERS
Vector Laboratories – Innovative Labeling and Detection Systems
For over 40 years, Vector Laboratories (Vector) has been manufacturing laboratory reagents for use in immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence, glycobiology, and live cell imaging.
Vector is the developer of the VECTASTAIN® ABC kits - the most trusted original avidin biotin complex systems, ImmPRESS™ Polymer Detection Reagents, and the Vector® M.O.M Mouse On Mouse Immunodetection Kit - the gold standard for detection of mouse primary antibodies on mouse tissue.
Vector also offers a palette of enzyme substrate colours for chromogenic development, including ImmPACT™ DAB substrate for single and multiplex IHC. VECTASHIELD® Antifade Mounting Media reagents are the most widely referenced antifade mounting media products cited in a wide range of applications - immunofluorescence on tissue and cell specimens, neurobiology, and super resolution microscopy among others. Complementary to these mounting media reagents are their highly fluorescent secondary antibody conjugates with fluorescein, rhodamine, DyLight®, and Cydyes.
Expanding their range for cell biology, Vector now offers VectaCell™ live cell imaging reagents and stains. Vector Laboratories is the leading supplier of lectin conjugates and other glycobiology reagents for research involving complex carbohydrate structures.
Vector Laboratories specializes in:

Micronic – Externally Threaded Sample Tubes
The new 0.75ml and the 1.40ml tubes with external thread carry the same outstanding qualities as the internally threaded tubes, but are complemented with additional features:
Using externally threaded tubes for sample storage eliminates the possibility of the sample coming into contact with the screw thread, minimizing chance of cross-contamination while improving sample integrity. Due to thick tube walls, the tube has a sturdy design and excellent properties for ultra-low temperature storage.- The sample tubes can hold a higher (net) volume of material while occupying the same amount of storage space, maximizing storage volume.
- The triple thread of the externally threaded tubes gives an excellent closure and horizontal placement of the cap to ensure long-term sample preservation and storage. For better handling, the screw cap has an outside grip. The caps are available in 6 different colors.
- The code surface of the tubes with external thread features a raised edge, which protects the 2D code against accidental scratches, ensuring absolute traceability.

TECHNICAL REPORT
AUM BioTech - Self-delivering FANA Oligos: A Novel Non-GMO RNA Silencing Approach for Bacteria, Insect, and Pathogen Control
Researchers at the USDA are now using AUM's next-generation RNA silencing FANA technology to combat the plant pathogenic bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter and citrus pests like citrus root weevil and Asian citrus psyllid. Although AUM's FANA technology works at the genetic level, it does not create genetically modified organisms.
Preliminary results showed an increase in insect mortality and a reduction of bacteria within citrus trees. This is the first evidence of successful delivery of FANA Antisense Oligonucleotides (FANA ASOs) into plants through foliar sprays, root absorption and tree trunk injections; and provides a new approach for management of agricultural pests and plant pathogens. FANA ASOs do not require the use of transfection reagents.
These encouraging results suggest that AUM's FANA technology offers great potential to be developed for insect and plant pathogen management for a wide spectrum of agricultural crops. The data will be presented at the upcoming International Plant & Animal Genome XXV conference, in San Diego, California in January of 2017.
