ry_2001 Paired Genes In Stem Cells Shed New Light On Gene Organization And Regulation

Whitehead Institute researchers have determined that DNA transcription, the process that produces messenger RNA (mRNA) templates used in protein production, also runs in the opposite direction along the DNA to create corresponding long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). By Nicole Giese Rura

The SPRIworks Fragment Library Systems have built-in size selection and prepare fragment libraries for all three major next generation sequencing platforms. SPRIworks Systems simplify and automate fragment library construction for the Illumina Genome Analyzers, Roche GS FLX DNA Sequencer and Life Technologies SOLiD Sequencers.

Time-to-clinic and time-to-market are two key factors in successful biopharmaceutical development.

3M Purification's core filtration technologies address the most demanding applications in pharmaceutical processing for small molecule and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) applications.

Resin are designed specifically for intermediate purification steps that remove host-cell contaminants from partially purified targets using strong or weak hydrophobic interactions. Methacrylate-based beads for protein and nucleic acid purification using hydrophobic interactions are available for purifying compounds that have weak or strong hydrophobic regions.

Sani-Tech® offers a complete line of high-purity, non-metallic sanitary processing systems and related components, including tubing and fittings, valves, flow measurement components and sight gauges, and sanitary adapters, as well as fabrication equipment for field installation and small-scale bench-top systems for research and process development. 

Proyield Soy SE70M-UF is protein hydrolysate derived from soy protein concentrate by enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymes used for digestion are from non-animal sources. Proyield Soy SE70M-UF has been ultrafiltered to reduce endotoxin.

High volume labs require simple, durable solutions to their centrifugation needs. Beckman Coulter’s Allegra® Series general purpose, benchtop centrifuges serve the needs of these labs by saving time, offering ease-of-use, and providing reliable design for endurance under the most exacting standards.

PureFlo hydrophobic polyethylene (PE) membrane filters, gamma compatible and ideal alternative to PVDF. Mold injected capsules with multiple inlet / outlet options including sanitary ‘T’ clamps, hose barbs, quick sanitary connectors, elbows and threads. Almost any combination of connecting inlet or outlet is possible with over 30 options. High gas flow at low differential pressure due to encapsulation geometries and polyethylene (PE) membrane. Full validation supporting documents are available. Ideal for tube sets and hook up to bioreactors, fermenters, biocontainer, biobags, wave bags or single use fermenters.

ZenPure’s in-company mold design and injection capabilities, filter production and quality assurance facilitate manufacturing audit and product traceability that meet the highest industry standards.
