Pointe Scientific Liquid Glucose Hexokinase Reagent - Recall

Featured In: Regulatory News

Pointe Scientific and FDA notified healthcare professionals of a nationwide recall of all size kits of Liquid Glucose Hexokinase Reagent catalog number G7517. The reagents have been found to fail linearity at >200mg/dL that results in inaccurate glucose values above this range. Distributors and testing laboratories who have received the Liquid Glucose Hexokinase Reagent (G7517) which is being recalled should destroy remaining inventory.

Testing laboratories should consider all test results obtained with the lot numbers listed above to be questionable. The laboratory should inform the patient's attending physician, and determine, with their input, whether confirmation of the previous test results will be required.

ADP-Glo™: An Ideal Approach to Monitor the Activity of Protein Kinases and Beyond

Oct 16

Because of its versatility (alltypesofsubstrates), robustness (Z’>0.8), rapidperformance, and its ease of use, the luminescence based Kinase Glo® assay platform has gained wide acceptance in many drug screening programs for protein kinase inhibitors.

A Cell-Based, Microplate Format, DELFIA Assay for Determination of the Activation of MAP KinaseSofia

Oct 16

Mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK) are activated in response to extracellularsignals or cellular stress. We have set up a cell-based DELFIA®Time-Resolved Fluorescence assay to test compounds or conditions for their ability to modulate cellular stress by the activation of MAPK.

Cell Based Assays for Studying the Effects of Cytotoxic Agents

Oct 16

Apoptosis, DNA fragmentation and cell proliferation are important parameters when studying live cell function, especially, when the effects of cytotoxic agents are under study.

Input normalization by global feedforward inhibition expands cortical dynamic range

2 hours ago

The cortex is sensitive to weak stimuli, but responds to stronger inputs without saturating. The mechanisms that enable this wide range of operation are not fully understood. We found that the amplitude of excitatory synaptic currents necessary to fire rodent pyramidal cells,...

A genetic pathway composed of Sox14 and Mical governs severing of dendrites during pruning

2 hours ago

Pruning that selectively eliminates neuronal processes is crucial for the refinement of neural circuits during development. In Drosophila, the class IV dendritic arborization neuron (ddaC) undergoes pruning to remove its larval dendrites during metamorphosis. We identified Sox14...

Adult generation of glutamatergic olfactory bulb interneurons

2 hours ago

The adult mouse subependymal zone (SEZ) harbors neural stem cells that are thought to exclusively generate GABAergic interneurons of the olfactory bulb. We examined the adult generation of glutamatergic juxtaglomerular neurons, which had dendritic arborizations that projected...

The pathways of interoceptive awareness

2 hours ago

A network of cortical brain regions, including the insula and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), has been proposed as the critical and sole substrate for interoceptive awareness. Combining lesion and pharmacological approaches in humans, we found that the insula and ACC were not...
