4 Produced by the Science/AAAS Custom Publishing Office LIFE SCIENCE TECHNOLOGIES NEW PRODUCTS: PROTEIN ANALYSIS Liquid Chromatography System from the new nano LC system with dedicated columns as front-end for liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The EASY-nLC 1200 performance and high-throughput capacity and is designed for robust and reliable operation at 1200 bar. New maintenance-free ceramic valves decrease system downtime, and toolfree nanoviper connections provide fast software features enhance performance and usability, simplifying operation and levels of expertise a fully integrated solution that consistently generates highquality data. The new Acclaim PepMap nano LC columns are designed to handle the 1200 bar-pressure capability of the EASY-nLC In particular, the new 75 cm format provides high peak capacity intended to increase sensitivity and resolution. For info: Gel Imager The Imagel Gel Doc system for iphone or Android is the smart way to quickly grab your gel images. Just hook up your smartphone to the compact hood and start to collect images of all your gels quickly and easily. The Imagel can be Use the blue light-emitting diode (LED) transilluminator for DNA applications that use Green DNA, GelGren, SYBR Green, SYBR Safe, SYBR Gold, and for protein applications using LavaPurple. An ultraviolet transilluminator will let you work with AmberDNA, ethidium stain, GelRed, SYPRO Ruby, Coomassie, Fluor Orange, and Krypton. Also, using a white light source you can capture images of proteins using Coomassie Blue, copper, silver, or zinc stains. The Imagel is very simple to useójust snap a photo and save on your phone or upload to the cloud for hosting, sharing, and image analysis and annotation features. Gel Company/Aplegen For info: Gel Documentation System The HeroDoc Plus is a compact gel documentation system for imaging gels assembly will sit comfortably on any laboratory bench within its small footprint. A unique lift-up hood and a built-in ultraviolet (UV) protection shield enable the user to do preparative work easily and safely. Should the user wish to raise the shield, an auto- sensitivity, charge-coupled device (CCD) camera combined with a distortion-free, software-controlled lens ensures quality image capture from 10 milliseconds up to 60 minutes. This is more than adequate capture. Illumination comes from a mas- luminator, while built-in white and blue light light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provide epiillumination as standard. Multilanguage, HeroStore image capture and control acquire images of gels and blots. Hero For info: +44-(0) ChIP-Validated Antibodies ChIP-validated antibodies further enhance the high-performance application solutions that Chromatrap can provide researchers. The use of high-quality and (ChIP)-validated antibodies is essential for the success of a ChIP assay. The antibody must recognize and bind to native protein that is bound to DNA. Antibodies from other applications do not always work well in ChIP. These top-quality validated antibodies are now kits for ChIP assays of every type. Chro- kits for quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) or sequencing and has in its validated antibody program, which are H3, RNA pol II (S), RNA pol II (S5), H3K9me3, 5mC, AcH3, AcH4, AR, and Sin3a. Chromatrap validated antibodies are available in 100 ul aliquots at a con- Chromatrap For info: +44-(0) Imaging System The Omega Lum W analysis system can be used for gel, multicolor R, G, B, and chemiluminescent imaging. This compact package sits neatly on any laboratory bench ready to image gels, Western blots, or multiplexing multicolored blots at the click of a button. At the heart of any gel documentation system is a quality camera, and the Omega Lum W comes with one of the best. A massive charge-coupled device (CCD) camera system outstanding power and performance. This combination provides the highest sensitivity and signal capture for perfect imaging, giving amazingly low One of the systemís key features is the SmartCapture Technology. tion and focus adjustment, thereby helping the user to obtain highquality images every time.
