Product news

Randox (booth #1301) is proud to be an exhibitor at the upcoming AACC/ASCLS Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo to be held in Atlanta 26th – 28th July 2011.

The AACC/ASCLS is the largest clinical lab expo in the world. This year it is set to be as popular as ever. Hosting more than 650 exhibitors covering 1,800 booths the 2011 AACC Clinical Lab Expo will cover the entire clinical diagnostic spectrum from automation to OEM.

At Randox, we are excited to showcase all our latest innovations. Visitors to our booth #1301 will witness new and improved technologies that will make a real difference to laboratory work. Our product portfolio is vast, ranging from chemistry analysers and QC to molecular diagnostics and biochip multiplex arrays. As a result we are capable of meeting the needs of many different laboratory types. Stop by our booth to see how we can fulfil your laboratory needs.

We are passionate about high quality, reliable diagnostic solutions. Our featured products at this year’s AACC/ASCLS strongly reflect this. This will include the latest addition to the RX series of clinical chemistry analysers, the RX suzuka – a fully automated, discrete random access clinical analyser capable of running up to 1200 tests per hour including ISEs. The new addition to the Biochip analysers will also be on show. The Evidence Evolution is the world’s first fully automated random access biochip testing platform. Utilising the unique multiplexing Biochip Array Technology, it offers advanced consolidation and patient profiling. Our Cardiology Division offer the latest biomarkers for detection of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) consisting of a complete lipid profile including Lp(a), an automated assay for the highly sensitive and specific biomarker H-FABP and the innovative TxB Cardio assay which provides a urinary assessment of Aspirin resistance or non-responsiveness allowing clinicians to more effectively tailor aspirin therapy.

Randox will also be hosting two Industry Workshops:

Tuesday July 26th, 6:00pm – 7:00pm
Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Regency Ballroom VI
Title: Your Time, Your Money, Their Lives
- H-FABP in the ED
- Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Atherosclerosis

Wednesday July 27th, 6:00pm – 7:00pm
Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Centennial Ballroom II
Title: The Complete Approach to Lipid Profiling, including Lp(a) as a Cardiovascular Risk Biomarker

If you are attending AACC/ASCLS 2011, make sure to plan your visit well. With a packed programme of workshops, posters and presentations, there is a lot to fit in.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment 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.Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.

The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.
