Slide For Optical Analysis Of Slow Migrating Cells
March 19, 2007 12:38 pm | Product Releases | CommentsChemotaxis slide allows the motion tracking of slow migrating cells like chemotactic active cancer cells in gradients. Up until now, comparable cell-based assays have only allowed the tracking of fast migrating cells such as neutrophiles or dictiostelia.
Panel Profiles Cancer Progression
March 19, 2007 12:27 pm | Product Releases | CommentsTissueScan is an RT-PCR based system for fast and accurate gene expression profiling across a large number of cancer patient samples. High-quality cDNAs were prepared from 48 well-documented cancer biopsy samples, normalized and assembled into ready-to-use gene expression panels.
DNA Methylation Service
February 13, 2007 10:40 am | Product Releases | CommentsDNA methylation markers are a new and important class of biomarkers that are significant because of their correlation to gene activity. High levels of cytosine methylation in genomic regions (CpG islands) are often associated with decreased or completely inhibited gene expression.
Guided Workflow For Copy Number Software
February 13, 2007 10:38 am | Product Releases | CommentsArrayAssist Copy Number Software (Stratagene Corp.) enables manipulation and analysis of the massive data sets generated by chromosomal copy number microarrays. All ArrayAssist applications offer GeneChip-compatible status with the Affymetrix platform.
High-Throughput DNA Methylation Profiling
February 13, 2007 10:36 am | Product Releases | CommentsA flexible, high-throughput DNA methylation profiling technology has been introduced that is capable of surveying up to 1,536 methylation sites across 96 samples simultaneously. Illumina Inc.
Laser Microdissection (9755)
February 13, 2007 10:36 am | Product Releases | CommentsThe PALM MicroBeam laser microdissection system provides for non-contact (contamination-free) isolation of homogeneous specimens from tissue or the acquisition of living cells, which facilitates the molecular analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins.
Cyclin-dependent Kinase Inhibitors
January 16, 2007 7:36 am | Product Releases | CommentsA diverse selection of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors is available from Axxora. The family of inhibitors consists of over 35 reagents, including selective inhibitors for CDK-1, CDK-2, CDK-4, CDK-5, and GSK-3B as well as other enzymes.
