Apprentice Field Suite (AFS) announces it has expanded its portfolio of award-winning applications that allows engineers and operators to see and repair manufacturing issues in real time without physically being on-site – reducing downtime, improving accuracy, and increasing site and product safety. As with all AFS solutions, the newest application, Tracer, leverages augmented reality (AR), computer vision, and cutting-edge smart glasses to help operators and engineers make informed decisions – hands-free. Tracer leverages Epson’s BT-2000 Smart Headset to create a…

Enzo Life Sciences continues to invest in developing new immunoassays. As a leading manufacturer of ELISAs, Enzo continues to launch relevant immunoassays into the market. The new Melatonin ELISA Kit provides a simple an accurate measurement of melatonin. Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is produced in the pineal gland and is a major component of the regulation of the circadian rhythm. Melatonin and its metabolites have demonstrated antioxidant properties and have been implicated in some reactive oxygen species pathways. The Melatonin ELISA KIT…

Enzo Life Sciences continues to expand its ELISA portfolio. A leading manufacturer of high quality ELISAs, Enzo continues to invest in developing immunoassays with the launch of their new VEGF ELISA Kit. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), originally known as vascular permeability factor (VPF), is a family of proteins that stimulate vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. The VEGF family comprises five members: VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D and PGF (placenta growth factor) 1-3. Being the first of the VEGF family members to be…

Pall Life Sciences announces the release of a new SoloHill® Animal Protein-Free microcarrier, Star-Plus.  Star-Plus microcarriers feature a proprietary surface chemistry with net positive charge which promotes rapid cell attachment and excellent growth of multiple cell types under a variety of environmental conditions. In common with other SoloHill microcarriers, Star-Plus is constructed of a rigid polystyrene core which facilitates high cell recovery yields and efficient separation of beads and cells with simple screening devices. Polystyrene microcarriers have the added benefit…

Enzo Life Sciences now offers EQ Quencher Dyes – amine-reactive quencher dyes that can be used for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) applications. EQ Quencher Dyes (EQ0, EQ1, and EQ2) are NHS ester quencher dyes that can be conjugated to amine-labeled probes. The EQ Quencher Dyes have a broad visible absorption but no detectable fluorescence emission, making it useful as an acceptor in FRET applications. The EQ Quencher Dyes can be used in molecular biology FRET applications to quench fluorophores.…
