Virus Engineered To Express Melanin Offers New Possibilities To Diagnose And Treat Solid Tumor Cancers

In a study released today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), entitled "Vaccinia virus mediated melanin production allows MR and optoacoustic deep tissue imaging and laser induced thermotherapy of cancer," scientists combined the natural imaging potential of melanin with recombinant Vaccinia viruses' ability to selectively enter and replicate within tumor cells.

ÄKTA avant™ is a preparative chromatography system designed for fast and secure development of scalable methods and processes.

Sani-Tech® Ultra represents the next generation in ultra-pure platinum-cured silicone tubing. Features like ultra-low extractables and longer pump life were engineered into Ultra by the experienced materials scientists of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics to meet the stringent requirements of the biopharmaceutical market.

Choose from ten fixed volume SoftGrip pipettes covering 0.2 µL to 1 mL. All pipettes have color-coded plunger buttons and labels for easy volume identification.

Conductivity sensors measure the ability of a solution to conduct a current. The higher the concentration of ions in the solution, the higher the conductivity, which is measured in microSiemens (mS).

It spins volumes.

With six-liter capacity and an innovative range of rotors, carriers, and adapters, this versatile centrifuge can handle multiple high capacity applications. Ideal for bioprocessing and clinical and blood sample preparation, the J6-MI is the standard for quiet and convenient operation.

When your instrumentation requires fluid handling equipment, you need more than parts—you need a partner. And that partner is Hamilton Company.

Freeze drying is a potentially damaging process, especially to labile materials such as proteins or living organisms. Depending on the product type damage can occur at various stages of the process including freezing, drying and heating.

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.
