1. Benchmark Performance of Thermo Scientific Matrix 2D-Barcoded Cryostorage Tubes
The study in this application note tests the performance of Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ 2D-barcoded cryostorage tubes against other popular brands to assess their suitability for this task. Since the primary role of these tubes is to maintain samples without allowing any alterations during their time in storage, it is critical to ensure that any tube chosen is robust enough to perform under harsh storage conditions.
2. Slide Loader Enhances Cancer Screening Services
This application note provides an overview of how the PL200 slide loader from Prior Scientific can aid pathologists in diagnosing cancer. The PL200 allows the user to load, scan, and unload multiple loads automatically, greatly increasing the efficiency of the process.
This application note describes how the ZEISS Airyscan can improve resolution and Signal-to-Noise in cryo-fluorescence microscopy, it allows the user to record high-quality cryo- fluorescence data even without immersion optics, thanks to its novel confocal detection scheme.
4. Detection of Ten Common STI Pathogens
More than 1 million people acquire a sexually transmitted infection (STI) every day, creating need for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent more complications in the future. This poster from Randox describes a multiplex array on a biochip platform to detect ten common STI pathogens simultaneously from one sample. This method increases detection capacity and saves time compared to methods where each pathogen must be detected individually.
5. Serological Tests for The Diagnosis of Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Infections
Zika virus belongs to the arboviruses of the Flaviviridae family. The virus is generally not transmitted between humans. In individual cases, however, transmission via sexual intercourse has been reported. This application note provides an overview of the process of serological differential diagnosis in suspected cases of dengue, chikungunya or Zika virus infections (DENV, CHIKV, ZIKV).
6. Infographic: Lab Automation Selection Process
Automating your lab is a detailed process. This infographic provides a high-level view of the steps to select a laboratory automation solution.
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.
