EMD Millipore Products Enable Customer Success

Many EMD Millipore products are used by Brian McFarlin at the University of North Texas. Dr. McFarlin has maintained his relationship with EMD Millipore because of our innovative products, outstanding customer service, and because the technologies developed by EMD Millipore in just the last 5 years have accelerated his research as shown in this video.

Direct Detect® Spectrometer

Merck

Introducing Direct Detect™, the first infrared (IR)-based biomolecular quantitation system. Just spot your sample, blank, and read! No sample prep, standard curves, messy cuvettes or liquid waste. With inherent amide bond detection, the Direct Detect™ system distinguishes proteins and peptides from interfering sample components, providing more accurate results without the pitfalls of colorimetric assays. Technology: FTIR Spectrometry and Protein Quantitation By measuring amide bonds in protein chains, the system accurately determines an intrinsic component of every protein without relying on amino acid composition, dye binding or redox potential. Accurately analyze components of complex mixtures: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids have separable IR spectra. Advantages of FTIR Quantitation: •  Independent of amino acid composition •  No extinction coefficient required, unlike UV-Vis/A280 methods •  Improves speed and accuracy over traditional colorimetric assays •  Works in the presence of detergents and reducing agents •  Compatible with lysates and membrane preps

Flowsight® Imaging Flow Cytometer

Merck

The FlowSight flow cytometer offers high performance in a small package. Its innovative design increases signal and minimizes noise to provide unmatched fluorescence sensitivity. Twelve standard detection channels simultaneously produce brightfield, darkfield and up to ten channels of fluorescence imagery of every cell. With these unique capabilities, the FlowSight enables a broad range of applications. Intuitive: Easy-to-use, with imagery for every cell:The FlowSight operates like a conventional flow cytometer but also provides imagery of every cell. Powerful and intuitive analysis software seamlessly links quantitative data to imagery: Click on a dot in any plot to see the corresponding cell imagery. Click on a bin in any histogram to view all the cells in that bin. Draw gates on dot plots and view the resulting populations to validate results. Affordable: Designed and priced for every lab: The FlowSight is powerful enough for the core lab but sized and priced for any lab. The system can be factory configured or field upgraded with up to four excitation lasers (405, 488, 561, 642 nm), a 96-well plate AutoSampler, and a powerful quantitative image processing option. Whether in a base configuration or fully-optioned, the FlowSight sets a new standard of value.
