At the December 2011 Annual Meeting of the
American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), BioCision, LLC launched a novel and
comprehensive line of products to standardise procedures related to
immunohistochemistry, slide staining and sorting, tissue dissection, cell harvesting,
and tissue embedding. The response of ASCB attendees to the
CoolSink H line - consisting
of 10 new products - was overwhelmingly positive.
"These products will change the way tissue samples
are prepared and have a huge impact on biomarker detection, especially in the
new era of personalized medicine," said BioCision's CEO Rolf Ehrhardt, MD, PhD.
"Poor preparation, which is a common occurrence, can hasten the degradation of
proteins and nucleic acids, and compromise ultrastructural fidelity.
The CoolSink H line ensures stable, consistent and highly reproducible sample
handling."
In addition to the recently introduced
HistoMailerTM
biopsy cassette shipper, this new portfolio consists of seven thermo-conductive
platforms to equalize temperature and provide an interface between the sample
and temperature source, eliminating temperature variability. CoolSink H modules
accommodate a variety of commonly used histology vessels including slides,
culture dishes, OCT blocks and others.
"BioCision has a proven track record in
developing products to standardise and optimize the processing of cell
samples," said Hugh Douglas, BioCision's Chief Operating Officer.
"We are pleased to offer a new line of products that provides the same
consistency, reproducibility and standardization in handling tissue samples."
