De Novo Formula Generation with Sub-ppm Confidence

Oct 12

Novel technology embodied in the micrOTOF allows precise measurement of both accurate mass and True Isotopic Pattern (TIP) over a wide dynamic range, allowing for the implementation of an open access system.

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.

Editorial: One small step for metaplasia, but one giant leap for biomarkers is needed.
