- Krystal 2000 microplates from Porvair Sciences have clear wells set in an opaque matrix. This eliminates the well-to-well crosstalk inherent in other clear-bottomed microplate designs, and so improves the accuracy and repeatability of luminescence and fluorescence assays. Krystal 2000 plates are made from ultra-pure polystyrene in 96 x 350 µl/well format, in various colors and surface...... more

- Millipore has announced an innovative sample preparation method for detecting and identifying biomarkers. The technique combines the company’s ultrafiltration (UF) and micro-volume solid phase extraction (SPE) technologies to reduce sample complexity, improve isolation of lower molecular weight proteins and enhance analysis by mass spectrometry (MS). Samples such as serum, plasma and urine are challenging to analyze because of their high salt and lipid content and abundant number of proteins. more
