Brigitte Fernandes-McAlear, Director, Roche Molecular Solutions said “This is truly exciting news and will transform cervical cancer testing, saving many more lives.
“DNA based HPV testing has been at the heart of our research for over 10 years. Through our landmark ATHENA study Roche Diagnostics not only validated the cobas HPV test, but also demonstrated the long-term safety of using HPV DNA as a predictor of cervical cancer risk. “To see HPV primary screening given prominence alongside existing testing, is therefore a landmark moment for patients. We look forward to...

A novelty in High-Resolution (HR) atomic spectrometry, the Dual View PLUS plasma observation of Analytik Jena’s PlasmaQuant® PQ 9000 is now bringing state-of-the-art productivity and operator convenience to the most elaborate HR ICP-OES routines.
Probing an analytically superior vertical plasma by end-on and side-on observation with complementary attenuation of both the axial and the radial view, respectively, Dual View PLUS reaches well-beyond traditional boundaries of ICP-OES and thus takes ultra-trace detection capabilities, linear dynamic working ranges as well as the overall signal stabilities a major step ahead....
Postnova Analytics reports on exciting advances in the analysis of plasma proteins using a hyphenated system that couples asymmetric flow Field-Flow Fractionation (AF4) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

AMSBIO has introduced new cell lines and controls for Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-1) research, and to test inhibitors of the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway.
The binding of PD-1, a receptor expressed on activated T-cells, to its ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) negatively regulates immune responses. PD-1 ligands are highly expressed in many cancers, and their interaction inhibits T-cell activity allowing cancer cells to escape immune surveillance. The PD-1: PD-Ligands pathway is also involved in regulating autoimmune responses, making these proteins promising therapeutic targets for...
