Orange County, Calif. (December 11, 2023) – Beckman Coulter, Inc. and CompuCyte Corporation have entered into a five-year global distribution agreement, under the terms of which Beckman Coulter will have the right to distribute CompuCyte laser scanning cytometers in cellular analysis markets worldwide. Beckman Coulter will maintain exclusive distribution rights for CompuCyte iGeneration technology outside of North America, and will share with CompuCyte the right to sell the instrumentation to research institutions and pharmaceutical companies within the U.S., Canada and Mexico. CompuCyte will continue worldwide direct sales of LSC instrumentation for automated tissue analysis.

"This agreement provides us with a sophisticated imaging platform that nicely complements our growing flow cytometry product portfolio," stated Brad Calvin, Beckman Coulter vice president for flow cytometry. "The iGeneration line of imaging cytometers will be an important addition to the range of products we are launching. This will enable us to provide researchers around the world with a broad range of technology for cell-based research from a single service provider, while further demonstrating our commitment to the research market."

Dr. Elena Holden, CompuCyte president and CEO, welcomed the new agreement: "Our distribution alliance is built on a great synergy between the two companies. Beckman Coulter is a renowned leader in flow cytometry instrumentation and CompuCyte is recognized as the first company to introduce solid-phase imaging cytometry technology (LSC) to the marketplace. LSC technology is complementary to flow cytometry and applies similar analysis principles to adherent cellular and tissue specimens, combining the resulting analytic data with high-quality imaging. The agreement with Beckman Coulter furthers CompuCyte’s commitment to the growing quantitative imaging cytometry market by enlarging the LSC technology distribution channel, and by bringing outstanding technical support to our customers worldwide."

Fluorescence microscopy techniques require a reliable light source at the desired wavelength or wavelengths, with minimal downtime for maintenance and alignment. Lasers are a popular light source, although the alignment and upkeep of laser combiners is a time-consuming prospect for many users.

Size-Exclusion Chromatography for Purification of Biomolecules

Dec 2 2009

Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a popular method to separate biomolecules based on their size. Primarily, it is applied to the separation of biopolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids, i.e. water-soluble polymers.

Improving Separation During Electrophoresis

SeparateIT gels represent a novel gel matrix for DNA electrophoresis. Gel polymers are arranged in a conceptually different way, in accordance with a new theoretical model of gel electrophoresis.

Improving Quality of ELISA

Dec 2 2009

Using ready-to-use ELISA kits from manufacturers is easy and convenient. Sometimes however, home-made ELISA is required because there is no kit available with the right antibodies or the characteristics of the available kits such as their limits of detection are not appropriate.

Ensuring Quality in Assays Performed with Automated Liquid Handlers

Feb 2

The focus of this presentation is to highlight the need of ensuring quality in important assays performed with automated liquid handlers. Nearly all assays performed within a laboratory are volume-dependent. In turn, all concentrations of biological and chemical components in these assays, as well as the associated dilution protocols, are volume-dependent. Because analyte concentration is volume-dependent, an assay’s results might be falsely interpreted if liquid handler variability and inaccuracies are unknown or if the system(s) go unchecked for a long period.

Inkjet System for Protein Crystallography

Feb 1

X-ray crystallography is used routinely by scientists to obtain the three dimensional structure of a biological molecule of interest.Such information can be used to determine how a pharmaceutical interacts with a protein target and what changes might improve functionality. However, the crystallization of macromolecules still remains a serious hindrance in structural determination despite impressive advances in screening methods and technologies.

Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity in a Drosophila Memory Mutant

Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity in a Drosophila Memory Mutant

Nov 9 2009

Action selection is modulated by external stimuli either directly or via memory retrieval. In a constantly changing environment, animals have evolved attention-like processes to effectively filter the incoming sensory stream. These attention-like processes, in turn, are modulated by memory. The neurobiological nature of how attention, action selection and memory are inter-connected is unknown. We describe here new phenotypes of the memory mutant radish in the fruit fly Drosophila.
