Harvard Apparatus introduces the New 96 -Well Equilibrium Dialyzer for ligand binding experiments including serum protein binding, protein-drug binding, protein-protein binding and protein-DNA binding assays.

Harvard Bioscience is introducing the second generation of 96-well equilibrium dialyzer that provides a simple and reliable method to analyze up to 96 samples.

Equilibrium Dialysis is recognized as the most preferred technique for molecular binding studies as it allows for the direct assay of molecular interactions under normal physiological conditions.

Equilibrium Dialysis has also shown itself to be a valuable technique for sample preparation before candidate analysis on a mass spectrometer. Studies have shown increased target identification when equilibrium dialysis is used before the spectroscopy.

Each well in the plate consists of two chambers separated by a cellulose acetate membrane with a molecular weight cut off of either 5,000 or 10,000 Daltons.

Each chamber holds up to 250 µl of sample or buffer. During dialysis the plate needs to be rotated through 360° in a vertical position.

Harvard Bioscience can also supply a 1 or 2 plate rotator with a clamp attachment for ease of use or an eight plate heated rotator.

The 96 –well plate was designed to meet robotic standards of automation, so it can be automated easily with a standard plate footprint and well spacing.

Other equilibrium dialysis products from Harvard Bioscience include the single (double chambered) disposable equilibrium dialyzer for volumes up to 100ml, the re-usable PTFE equilibrium biodialyzer for samples from 25 - 500ml and the ED2000 for up to 20 samples with volumes from 250ml to 5ml.

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.Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies 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.
