A blue light transilluminator offers some unique advantages over UV transilluminators, especially when the intent is to use the system on top of the bench and out in the open. Some of the unique advantages of the the blue light transilluminator over UB boxes is there is no risk of damaging or photobleaching DNA during excitation. [...]
Quick and simple touch screen set-up for perfect blots, 1D and 2D gel images Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of gel documentation systems today announced the introduction of the new PXi Touch range of high resolution, multi-application image analysis systems. These easy-to-use systems are ideal for scientists wanting a rapid touch screen driven method of accurately [...]
Spectrophotometry remains one of the simplest ways to perform colorimetric assays in a laboratory environment. The high absorbance of DNA and protein at 260nm and 280nm means that traditional cuvettes are unsuitable for measuring high concentration levels without time-consuming dilution of the sample. To address this, a new class of instruments designed to measure a [...]
An Alternative to Flow Cytometry! Cellometer Auto 2000 Offers Accurate and Reproducible Counting Of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells are used to measure immunological functions. Assays include proliferation, cytotoxicity and cytokine production. The use of cryopreserved PBMCs is critical both in clinical trials and biomedical research. In cancer immunotherapy, leukapheresis is [...]
It may be small, but the PXi (Pixie) gel doc is perfect for imaging Western blots (chemiluminescence and mulitplex fluorescent secondary antibodies) 1D gels and even 2D gels! Syngene is a world-leading manufacturer of gel documentation system. The PXi, Syngene’s newest addition to its product portfolio, is a new high resolution, multi-application image analysis system. This [...]
A Blue light LED transilluminator offers many advantages to today’s life science researchers. Blue light is safer to use than ultraviolet (UV) excitation, which is traditionally used in the laboratory. As such, researchers do not need to be at risk for burning their skin or eyes if they did not take precautions to work with [...]
A Blue light box offers advantages over UV transilluminators when viewing and cutting DNA gels and protein gels. They are safer to use and do not not have the risk of a burn to eyes or skin from exposure to UV. They also do not damage DNA, a risk inherent with the use of a UV transilluminators. [...]
Frederick, MD: Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions is delighted to announce that its advanced G:BOXChemi XT4 imaging system can be used to safely visualize and analyze fluorescently labeled proteins in whole plants, allowing scientists to accurately detect how much of their marker proteins are being expressed, and where. Using a G:BOXChemi XT4 [...]
Frederick, USA: Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions, is delighted to announce its G:BOX imaging system is being used by scientists at a UK university to help visualize protein signals which will detect how cells in the human body react to new drugs. Scientists at the university are using a high resolution G:BOX system to accurately [...]
Primary hepatocytes can be used for the in vitro evaluation of metabolism, drug-drug interaction, drug transporter activity, and toxicity of drug candidates. Hepatocytes are the predominant cell in the liver, comprising about 60% of liver cells and 80% of liver mass. One of the main hepatocyte functions is the production of bile. Hepatocytes are also responsible for [...]
