This joint work is focused on developing quantitative, broad-coverage, high-throughput metabolomics for systems biology based on AB SCIEX mass spectrometry technology to help provide a better view into living organisms. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=334876 Biocompare.com Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:52:00 GMT Run-off water from hospitals in India has been analysed using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) in an attempt to determine whether the presence of antibiotics could be leading to resistance among bacteria. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=334875 Biocompare.com Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:51:00 GMT AMSBIO has announced a new service whereby it can generate high quality Mass Spectrometry (MS) standards for over 5,000 human proteins. Produced in human HEK293T cells and labeled with [U- 13C6, 15N4]-L-Arginine and [U- 13C6, 15N2]-L-Lysine, the full length proteins with appropriate post-translational modifications are the best choice for accurate identification and quantification of protein biomarkers. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=334124 Biocompare.com Fri, 16 Jul 2010 08:39:00 GMT CLEVELAND - July 13, 2010 - Using chemical labeling and mass spectrometry-based techniques, Mark Chance, PhD, director of the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Center for Proteomics and Bioinformatics and professor of physiology and biophysics; Sayan Gupta, PhD, instructor at the Case Center for Proteomics and Bioinformatics; and a research team from the University of Oxford, for the first time, were able to take a high resolution picture of the open state of a K+ channel, allowing them to comparatively analyze gating mechanisms important to heart function and nerve signaling - in addition these techniques have already permitted Case Western investigators to gain a deeper understanding of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=333750 Biocompare.com Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:52:00 GMT Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has today made the poster presentation 'How clean are your vials and closures?' downloadable from its website, www.nationalscientific.com/cleanvials. Following the recent launch of the industry's first pre-cleaned chromatography vials - the National Scientific MS certified vials - data demonstrating the effectiveness of pre-cleaning was presented in this poster at HPLC 2010. The MS certified vials and various competitor vials were exposed to acetonitrile for two hours and subsequently analyzed by LC/UV, LC/MS and GC/MS. Resulting data showed no evidence of sample contamination using the National Scientific MS Vials. Cleaned and tested as standard, these unique low-particulate chromatography vials are cleaned in a GMP compliant, fully-validated cleanroom environment to minimize the occurrence of any contamination. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=333713 Biocompare.com Wed, 14 Jul 2010 09:16:00 GMT Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and the Agilent Foundation today announced that Professor Pauline Rudd has received an Agilent Thought Leader Award in support of her emerging glycomics research. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=333030 Biocompare.com Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:57:00 GMT The AB SCIEX TripleTOFTM 5600 System is the industry's fastest and most sensitive high-resolution mass spectrometer for high-performance qualitative and quantitative analysis. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=332281 Biocompare.com Thu, 01 Jul 2010 14:07:00 GMT http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=332267 Biocompare.com Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:31:00 GMT Vermillion, Inc. , a molecular diagnostics company, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a notice of allowance of a patent entitled "Biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease" to the Company. The patent claims are directed to biomarker combinations for the diagnosis and management of Alzheimer's disease and to the measurement of the biomarkers by a variety of methods, including mass spectrometry and immunoassay. http://news.biocompare.com/newsstory.asp?id=331917 Biocompare.com Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:00:00 GMT
