Read MoreAccelerating Isolation of Oils, Fuels and Fats from Natural SourcesMay 20, 2013
Genevac, world leaders in solvent removal technology, has over 20 year’s experience of supplying evaporators for removal of solvents from oil, fat and fuel samples.
Oils, fats and fuels are normally isolated from natural sources using extraction or separation techniques that present the final sample in a solution of organic solvent. Before analysis such samples must be dried or concentrated. Whether extracting and recovering additives, evaluating lipid content of foods, characterising reclaimed cooking oils before reprocessing / conversion to biofuels, or investigating drillling test samples - oils, fuels and fats can often prove difficult to dry without using very high temperatures which may lead to loss of the more volatile fractions within the sample....
Read MoreDebunking Myths about Peak Area Response of Glycoprotein OligosaccharidesMay 20, 2013
Thermo Fisher Scientific has released a technical note (TN) that challenges the common misconception that there is significant variation in high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) peak area response of oligosaccharides.
TN 133: HPAE-PAD Peak Area Response of Glycoprotein Oligosaccharides summarizes the peer-reviewed scientific literature concerning this subject. This review concludes that the variation in HPAE-PAD oligosaccharide response with structure is minimal, especially among sets of similar oligosaccharides such as those found on many glycoproteins.....

In this new application note, Millipore describes how a Novel RNA detection reagent enables gene expression analysis in living cells.
This technology allows for carrier- free cellular endocytosis of the reagent, followed by detection and relative quantitative analysis of RNA levels. Because the reagent leaves the cell after the detection event, the same sample can be used for any downstream analysis, meaning you can assess multiple biomarkers or downstream functionalities in the same cells. Additionally, this reagent requires no upfront sample preparation, has no toxic effects on cellular fate and no known nonspecific, off-target effects....

Researchers at the University Medical Center (UMC) Utrecht, the Netherlands, have identified a novel gene mutation that predisposes to seminoma, the most common form of testicular cancer in young men
The newly identified mutation, in the LRRC50 gene, can be considered as a new risk factor for testicular cancer and may be useful for screening purposes. The finding was published this week in PLoS Genetics. In preclinical research in zebrafish, it was found that mutation in the LRRC50 gene predisposes to testicular tumor formation and that zebrafish LRRC50 tumors are similar to human seminoma. These unique findings make zebrafish a useful animal model for human seminoma associated with mutation of the LRRC50 gene...
