NEW PRODUCTS
 

Vector Laboratories - VectaFluor™ Duet Immunofluorescence Double Labeling Kits

  • Ready-to-use format offers maximum convenience to achieve immunofluorescence double labeling in one step.
  • Kit includes a detection reagent that will detect mouse and rabbit primary antibodies with green and red DyLight® fluorescent dyes in a single step.
  • Affinity purified, extensively cross-adsorbed secondary antibodies are conjugated to DyLight® dyes in a manner that ensures maximum degree of labeling without compromising antibody affinity or specificity.
  • Compatible with fluorescence staining of cells and tissues.

MagBio - cfKapture™ 21 Isolation Kit for Circulating Cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) from Stabilized Plasma

  • Allows plasma sample storage at room temperature for 21 days before processing
  • Not necessary to rush plasma purification.  Large volume users can separate plasma and process samples without plasma sample degradation.
  • Efficient ccfDNA isolation – No carrier RNA
  • Can be used with any blood collection tube (Streck BCT, PAXGene cfDNA tubes, EDTA).  For best results, use in conjunction with Blood STASIS™ 21-ccfDNA tubes.

Jena Bioscience - Short LCP Lipids for Membrane Protein Crystallization

Crystallization in the Lipidic Cubic Phase (LCP) has evolved into an important method for crystallization of membrane proteins, with the lipid Monoolein being the first choice to create a stable LCP. In the past few years however, the short lipids (7.7 MAG, 7.8 MAG, 7.9 MAG) have become increasingly popular and the recent progress in applying the highly viscous lipidic cubic phase for serial femtosecond crystallography (LCP-SFX) further accelerates the success of the LCP method by:

  • Delivering the crystal-loaded viscous LCP directly into the XFEL beam (thereby reducing sample consumption in comparison to liquid injectors)
  • Taking advantage of the inherently small crystals grown in LCP
  • Avoiding tricky crystal mounting from LCP

TECHNICAL REPORT
 

Enzo Life Sciences - FLOWSCRIPT® Platform Detects Genotypic and Phenotypic Markers Associated with HPV Infection and Cancer Progression

Enzo’s FLOWSCRIPT® flow cytometry platform acts as “a snapshot cell query” by allowing the analysis of mRNA transcript expression in individual cells in a mixed cell population. By studying whether a gene or a set of genes is turned on or off, it is possible to obtain clinically relevant information at the single cell level. The first product developed for use with this technology is the FLOWSCRIPT® HPV E6/E7 Assay. Integration and ultimately overexpression of HPV oncoproteins, E6 and E7, promotes the growth of malignant cells through the inhibition of tumor suppressors and has been linked with increased likelihood of cervical cancer progression.

Your Breath is Your Brain’s Remote Control - By Crystal Goh

"A new study has found evidence to show that there is actually a direct link between nasal breathing and our cognitive functions.  We have all heard this simple saying during times of trouble: “Take a deep breath in.” Science being science, however, indicates that we may now have to update this old adage to read “Take a deep breath in it will help you be more emotionally aware but only if you inhale specifically through your nostrils and not your mouth—good luck.”
