Luciferin-Bioluminescence
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some fungi, microorganisms and terrestrial invertebrates. Luciferin, the firefly substrate of luciferase, is a common reagent used throughout the biotechnology field. The injection of luciferin allows for the real-time, noninvasive monitoring of disease progression and/or drug efficacy in these model systems through Bioluminescence Imaging (BLI).


IPTG
IPTG is an analog of galactose that is nonmetabolizable and inactivates the lac repressor to induce synthesis of β-galactosidase in E. coli. The expression of cloned genes under the control of the lac operon is induced by IPTG. IPTG is often used in the induction of recombinant proteins, is a substrate for thigalactoside transacetylase and has been reported to induce penicillinase in bacteria. IPTG is commonly used in cloning procedures that require induction of β-galactosidase and is most often used with X-Gal for blue/white bacterial colony screening.
Higher Performance & Simplicity in One Disposable Cassette.
Patent-protected thin-film cassettes provide highly accurate, repeatable cell counts and cell size analysis in under 15 seconds. Inspired by the gold-standard Coulter Principle used in high-end counting systems worldwide, the Moxi cassette flows thousands of cells per test through a cell sensing zone to accurately capture the impedance-based volumetric measurement of each individual cell in the sample.
Healthcare, pharmaceutical and industrial organizations rely on quality-assured prepared media.
Maintaining cleanrooms and other aseptic areas to the most stringent regulations, plus validating sterility testing processes, requires quality assured prepared culture media. The EU GMP Annex 1 highlights an increasing need for organisations operating in pharmaceutical and medical device manufacture, and other industrial sectors, to reduce the risk of contamination wherever possible.
