The GSH-Glo™ Glutathione Assay is a luminescence-based assay for the detection and quantification of glutathione (GSH). The assay is based on the conversion of a luciferin derivative into luciferin in the presence of glutathione, catalyzed by glutathione S-transferase (GST). The signal generated in a coupled reaction with firefly luciferase is proportional to the amount of glutathione present in the sample. Luminescence is gen…

A versatile electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) that accommodates any crystal from 1-15 MHz in any cell or holder

Clean Screen® Xcel Well Plates The Clean Screen Xcel products are a line of sample prep phases designed to reduce the number of steps in the extraction, and therefore the amount of time and solvent necessary to complete the sample cleanup. Further advantages include reduced sample size and improved cleanliness and recovery. The Xcel I well plate will extract a wide array of basic drugs including benzodiazepines and opiates.…
