Labmate to distribute VACUSAFE comfort
The new VACUSAFE comfort from INTEGRA Biosciences represents a benchmark in liquid aspiration, filtration and waste disposal that will appeal to many pharmaceutical, biotech, clinical and chemical laboratories and will be distributed by Labmate in India.

The new system has added features enhancing ease of use, performance and operational safety. New quick connectors facilitate easier handling and are color coded to eliminate the chances of incorrect set-up. The ultra-low noise pump technology enables the system to provide infinitely variable vacuum control enabling gentle aspiration from the microlitre range right up to rapid emptying of relatively large containers.

The VACUSAFE comfort incorporates all the essential elements for safe and productive disposal of liquid waste. Coupled with the ergonomically profiled VACUBOY hand operator and a range of adapters, the system provides the flexibility to aspirate supernatant liquids from cell culture vessels, centrifuge tubes, 24- and 96-well plates and sample vials. Furthermore, it fits any existing vacuum source in a laboratory offering a powerful tool to handle liquid aspiration, waste disposal and filtration applications.

BioRad introduces Bio-Plex suspension array system
Bio-Rad has introduced Bio-Plex suspension array system, which is a drug discovery tool. It couples bead arrays with flow based fluorescence detection to analyze 100 different analysts in single sample. It is like running 100 different Elisa or Western blot in single sample with three-dimension reaction approach. Multiplexing reduces the time, reagent and sample requirement. It is both a qualitative as well as quantitative method to analyze different parameters. Based on Luminex technology and integrated advanced Bioplex manager software with US FDA part 11 21 CFR compliance, it helps in medical diagnostics, biomarker discovery, proteomics and genomics applications. The assays available are Cytokine profiling single plex or multiplex (19 cytokines); phoshokinases study single plex or multiplex (9 Posphokinases); and Amine coupling COOH bead for customers interested in developing their own protocol.
