Health warnings in small dense packages

Randox has released a simple test for the fully automated, quantitative detection of the small dense form of low-density lipoprotein (sd LDL). Research into LDL cholesterol and the implications for risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has identified two LDL subtypes, small dense LDL and large buoyant LDL. Genetic and nutritional factors affect the size of the LDL particles.

Flexible whole blood analysis

Instrumentation Laboratory (IL) has introduced the GEM Premier 4000, a revolutionary whole blood analyser that is very easy to use. It has a remarkably flexible analyte menu, including a full COoximetry panel. The selfcontained pack incorporates all components for patient testing.

Abbott, the architect of expansion

Abbott Diagnostics has expanded its ARCHITECT family of analysers with the introduction of the ARCHITECT c16000 clinical chemistry analyser and ARCHITECT ci16200, an integrated immunoassay and clinical chemistry analyser.

Accelerated identification of genetic variants

The new Variant Reporter software from Applied Biosystems accelerates sequence data analysis in biomedical research by automating the detection of genetic variants and streamlining the analysis process.

Standardised and reliable air sampling

Oxoid has launched its new Oxoid Air Sampler. This robust, high-specification air sampler is designed to monitor microbiological air quality in clinical environments, and relies on proven impaction technology that has been used in infection control applications for many years.

Screening for HIV right at the point of care

It is estimated that there were 4.3 million new cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 2006 and half a million of these were children under 15 years old. Around 40 million people worldwide are now living with HIV/AIDS, so early detection and treatment of HIV-1 and -2 remains critical in improving survival rates and reducing transmission, especially to the unborn child.

Stuart incubator range keeps on growing

Stuart, the benchtop equipment brand from Barloworld Scientific, has updated its popular shaker incubator range with a versatile new model packed with useful features.

Lipaemic sample clearing system

Rapid Sample Processing offers a complete system for clearing lipaemic samples.

Ultrasonics for almost any laboratory application

The camSonix range of ultrasonic baths from Camlab offers 13 models, from 0.8 L to 90 L, providing solutions for almost any laboratory or medical application.

Fixed- and live-cell imaging system

Preston-based Image Solutions has launched the personalDV system to provide highresolution fixed- and live-cell imaging in a single integrated bench-top format.

Prefilled formalin pots from Surgipath

Convenient-to-use new 60 mL prefilled formalin pots are available now from Surgipath Europe. Easy to recap with an exclusive seal, the pots are filled with high-quality formalin under cleanroom conditions.

Advances in live-cell imaging

Carl Zeiss has overcome the challenge of imaging deep inside living tissues with the launch of the LSM 5 MP multiphoton laser scanning microscope.

Time-saving polymerase chain reaction buffer

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a special polymerase chain reaction (PCR) buffer that enables samples to be loaded directly on an agarose gel after thermal cycling, thereby reducing the number of pipetting and reagent handling steps in PCR testing protocols.
