Watch this short summary of manufacturer and scientist interviews from the recent SLAS conference in Washington D.C., USA. The main report highlights the new innovations and products displayed.
The Opera Phenix ® Plus High-Content Screening System is the premier confocal solution for today' most demanding high content applications. Drawing on over a decade of experience with the industry-leading Opera ® and Opera ® Phenix system, the Opera Phenix Plus is designed for high-throughput high-content assays, phenotypic screening, assays using complex disease models, such as live cells, primary cells and microtissues, and fast-response assays, such as Ca2+ flux.
Agilent BioTek Cytation 5 is a uniquely integrated, configurable system that combines automated digital widefield microscopy with conventional multi-mode microplate detection to provide phenotypic cellular information and well-based quantitative data.
Pall Life Sciences' Acrodisc WBC premium syringe filter is an innovative filtration device designed specifically for use in the capture and recovery of Leukocytes and the separation of red blood cells. The Acrodisc WBC filter contains Pall's patented Leukosorb media. Leukosorb is a fibrous matrix that uses a multimodal approach of size exclusion and adsorption to capture and recover leukocytes from whole blood samples while allowing Red Blood Cells (RBCs) and platelets to flow through the membrane. With the Acrodisc WBC, the uniquely designed filter does all the difficult capture work, resulting in more efficient white blood cell separation as compared to Buffy Coat density gradient methods. The Acrodisc WBC yields greater cell capture and recovery with less sample compared to larger filter formats and also exudes very low hold up volume as compared to larger white blood cell isolation filters (hold up volume Applications: Antigenic specificity Antigen modulation studies Cell receptor analysis Lymphocyte recovery for cell therapy Stem cell research applications
Exceptional chemical and temperature compatibility Ideal for filtration of gas and/or organic solvents. Prevent spurious peaks on chromatograms for accurate experimental results. HPLC certified for low levels of UV-absorbing extractables. Prevents "air bubble" lock in sample vials with 13 mm minispike outlet. 4 mm device offers the lowest sample hold up.
Acrodisc PSF syringe filters are available in many membrane types, sizes, and packaging configurations to fit all applications. These are the only syringe filters to receive Caliper Life Sciences Automation Certified guarantee, providing: Smooth operation and worry-free performance in automated applications with smooth filter-to-filter release, consistent turret advancement, exceptional housing strength, and strict outside filter geometry. Best protection for HPLC columns – extend column life as much as 46 times. Maximum throughput with the GxF multi-layer prefilter.
