Want to see the biggest surprise in gel and blot imaging?
The Omega Lum G from Aplegen is the ideal package for those looking for a gel and western blot imaging documentation system. It comes complete with everything you need. Simply unpack it to get started capturing images of your gels and blots quickly. What will also surprise most people is the incredible low cost for such a high specification system.
Researchers at Birmingham University have used Markes’ BenchTOF-Select time-of-flight mass spectrometer in combination with two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) to improve the separation and identification of hydrocarbons in motor oil.
The paper, entitled ‘Using variable ionisation energy time-of-flight mass spectrometry with comprehensive GC×GC to identify isomeric species’, shows how spectra acquired at 14 eV on BenchTOF-Select can be used to positively identify isomers from the previously unresolved complex mixture (UCM) in these samples. The paper is the first literature citation of Markes’ new Select-eV technology, which uses revolutionary...
Molecular diagnostic approaches to cancer detection and monitoring can benefit from a multiple-template strategy that analyzes DNA from circulating tumor cells (ctcDNA) and circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) in blood, as well as from tissue biopsies, according to a new NCI-supported clinical trial published by scientists from Cynvenio Biosystems, Inc., and collaborators.
The new research was published online in the journal Oncotarget. The findings show that data gained through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) of ccfDNA and ctcDNA liquid biopsy templates differ, but complement, each other and should be used in combination. Analysis of each template enables the capture of different moments in a tumor’s evolution, providing additional and complementary information to that provided by...
