Visit EMD Millipore at Neuroscience 2014, the premier venue for neuroscientists to debut cutting-edge research on the brain and nervous system. At the meeting, scientists gather to facilitate the integration of research directed at all levels of biological organization and developing improved therapies.

Activities at EMD Millipore’s Booth (#1623) include:
• Issues with your tissues? Check out the NEW SNAP i.d.® 2.0 system for immunohistochemistry
• Sign up to receive your 15-month Neuroscience Calendar
• Receive a copy of EMD Millipore’s popular neuroinflammation pathways wall poster
• Take the Research Survival Challenge — Enter to win a 8.9" HDX tablet*
• Let EMD Millipore’s booth artist draw your caricature — you'll be inspired!

You can also attend EMD Millipore’s research poster presentations, which cover a range of applications and techniques including iPSCs generation, proginator cell culture, and live cell mRNA detection technology.

SNAP i.d. 2.0 System

Merck

The SNAP i.d. Protein Detection System revolutionizes the quality of your blots every time — in record time! Unlike conventional Western blotting, where diffusion is the primary means of reagent transport, the SNAP i.d. system applies a vacuum to actively drive reagents through the membrane. This novel method allows you to optimize your blotting conditions in record time for maximum results. The SNAP i.d. system minimizes overblocking by using lower concentrations of blocking agents. In addition, more effective wash steps remove unwanted contaminants from the membrane. With the SNAP i.d. system, you’ll achieve incredibly low background, high signal-to-noise ratios, reproducibility from blot to blot, and sensitivities that are the same or better than traditional immunodetection techniques. Compatible with your favorite membrane and detection methods, the SNAP i.d. system produces higher quality blots than traditional western blot methods -- in less than 30 minutes. SNAP i.d. System Features: Dynamic – vacuum actively drives reagents through blotting membrane. Quality – equal or better signal-to-noise ratios than standard western blotting. Fast – reduces immunodetection time from 4 hours to 30 minutes. Simple – incorporates blocking, washing, and antibody incubation steps. Compatible – works with standard gel sizes and protocols. Efficient – optimizes your protocol with a new antibody in 30 minutes.
