PerkinElmer, Inc has announced the introduction of several new tools to improve the speed and effectiveness of research for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and other central nervous system disorders.

"PerkinElmer continues its tradition of being an integral part of the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting," said Richard M. Eglen, PhD, president, Bio-discovery, PerkinElmer. "This year we are introducing several new tools to study cellular signaling, including cellular and biochemical assays, 3D live cell imaging, innovative data management software, and a new ultra sensitive luminescent plate reader. All of these tools are focused to enable researchers to improve the speed and efficiency of their research."

He added, "At Neuroscience we are also sharing information on the integration of the recently purchased intangible assets from GE Healthcare, including the 3H & 14C catalog radiochemicals, SPA Reagents and CytoStar-TTM microplate products. These assets complement and strengthen our research reagent solutions, furthering our customers' important medical and drug development research, while also demonstrating our continuing leadership position in radiochemicals."

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples. Find the best gel doc / image analysis products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Assay AssemblyAssay Assembly is technique used in drug discovery to develop assays to test the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, or other activities of a compound on a cell. Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.
