1. Human Blood Lymphocyte Subset Analysis with Lyse/no-wash Method
Blood is comprised of complex populations of lymphocyte, monocyte, granulocyte, platelet and red blood cells. Flow cytometry represents the best method for studying functional and phenotypic properties of these sub-populations. This application note demonstrates the use of the NovoCyte flow cytometer for the analysis of human blood lymphocyte subset.
2. SARSTEDT AG & Co. - Tips and Techniques for Preanalytics
Blood collection procedures and conditions must be standardized to ensure correct laboratory results. This guide is intended to improve collection techniques to reduce preanalytical influences. In this document, tips and technique guidance is provided for urine collection and venous and capillary blood collection.
3. A Universal Surface Coating for Lab-On-A-Chip and Biosensor Applications
Attaching biomolecules onto solid supports is a necessary step in developing and manufacturing most in vitro diagnostics and point-of care products. However, direct immobilization of antibodies to synthetic surfaces can damage proteins and adversely impact both their structure and function. This poster describes an alternative to traditional methods of biomolecule attachment that utilizes a metal polymer surface chemistry.
4. The Importance of Third Parties in Quality Control
This application note demonstrates the importance of using third parties controls that haven't been designed or optimized for use with a specific test or system. As such, they mirror the performance of patient samples providing an unbiased, independent assessment of analytical performance.
5. Lean Lab Chooses Beckman Coulter’s Power Express: Driving Peak Performance
This case study explains why the Community Regional Medical Center in the US chose the Beckman Coulter Power Express automation solution to aid their laboratory, optimizing and reducing time spent on pre-analytical processes.
Thyroglobulin is a 660 kDa dimeric protein used as a biomarker for evaluating treatment efficiency in thyroid cancer. Current immunoassays yield high false negative rates due to the presence of auto Tg antibodies, blocking the assay in a significant portion of the patient population. This scientific poster describes an alternative approach by combining SISCAPA with standard flow LC/MS.
Identification of enteric pathogens currently incorporates a range of different methods with varying sensitivities, specificities, and turn-around times. In this application note, the clinical performance of the xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (xTAG® GPP), a new qualitative bead-based multiplexed molecular diagnostic test, is established.
