NEW PRODUCTS
EpiCypher - SNAP-ChIP™ Sample Normalization and Antibody Profiling for ChIP
SNAP-ChIP uses DNA barcoded recombinant designer nucleosomes (dNucs) as next-generation spike-ins for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP). The first product in this family (the K-MetStat, or lysine-methylation status panel) consists of a pool of dNucs carrying fifteen well-studied histone lysine methyl marks and an unmodified control. EpiCypher's K-MetStat panel can easily be added to any ChIP workflow without altering the protocol. However, users can monitor antibody specificity and evaluate technical variability within a ChIP or ChIP-seq experiment for the first time, setting SNAP-ChIP apart from any other spike-in controls (i.e. Drosophila) currently available.

NuGEN - Unique Indexing Solutions for Illumina’s High Capacity Sequencing Platforms
NuGEN’s Unique Dual Indexes are designed to enable researchers to take full advantage of the latest generation of Illumina sequencers. They detect index hopping, a sequencing phenomenon that can lead to mis-assignment of reads to the incorrect sample. Use of an additional index can enable the detection and eliminate mis-assigned reads from a dataset. This is particularly critical in applications that require high sensitivity, and improves accuracy of sample assignment in any experiment. Index hopping has been shown to occur at a higher frequency in patterned flow cell sequencing platforms, such as the HiSeq 3000, HiSeq 4000, NovaSeq.
The Unique Dual Indexes are conveniently configured in a pre-plated format as 96 unique barcode pairs, so manual preparation of barcode pairs is completely eliminated. Simply add the adaptor to the sample and ligate, and each sample will have index1 and index2 barcodes that are completely unique from all other samples in the plate.
This feature is currently available for the Ovation® Ultralow System V2 for DNA-Seq library preparation, and for the Universal Plus mRNA-Seq and Trio RNA-Seq system for preparation of RNA-Seq libraries. Solutions for the Methyl-Seq product line will also be available soon.

Heathrow Scientific – Universal Pipette Wall Mount
The pipette holder comes with two wall mounting brackets that can hold two pipettes each and is supplied with different colored upper and lower segments, that easily slide into place. This enables labs to color code their pipette holders for quick identification purposes, or a user can personalize the holder in the colors of their choice.
Once mounted, the pipette holder can securely hold virtually every known brand of pipette. Inserts on the upper segments can be added or removed to accommodate the fit of various pipette widths. One handed removal or replacement of pipettes is made easy with the segments unique design that includes traction grips that help center and hold the pipettes in a vertical position which helps eliminate potential contamination.

TECHNICAL REPORT
Anatrace - In Pursuit of a Parkinson's Cure, We Set Our Standards Higher Than Ever Before. Literally.
On Monday, August 14th at 12:31 PM EDT the SpaceX CRS-12 mission launched from Kennedy Space Center carrying over 20 different scientific experiments to the International Space Station. One of the experiments being sent to the ISS on this mission is the microgravity crystallization of the LRRK2 protein in the Microlytic Crystal Former. This research is a collaboration between The Michael J. Fox Foundation, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), The University of Oxford, Goethe-University Frankfurt, and the University of California, San Diego.
