Cell studies have generally examined populations of cells in the thousands and millions. With the use of statistical models, this work has played a significant part in disease (i.e., cancer) research and discoveries. However, with the advancements of analytical techniques, many researchers have shifted their focus to single-cell analysis, which has created strong demand for […]
The annual American Society for Cell Biology meeting was held in San Diego, California from December 12 to December 16. The conference presentations and exhibit were abuzz with research results made possible by new technology developments, most notably super-resolution microscopy and single-cell analysis. Super-resolution microscopy techniques improve the spatial resolution of optical microscopy. Sunday kicked […]
Company Announcements In September, as part of an NIH-funded project, NanoCellect Biomedical began a collaboration with the University of California, San Diego, to develop single-cell applications based on its microchip-enabled WOLF Cell Sorter. Venneos raised €1 million ($1 million) in seed financing in September to develop a semiconductor chip–based imaging system for cell analysis. MaxCyte […]

The 65th annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genomics (ASHG) was held October 6–10 in Baltimore, Maryland. The event attracted 7,866 attendees, including 6,242 scientific attendees (nonexhibitors), a 6.7% decrease from the 2014 show, which was held in San Diego, California (see IBO 10/31/15). Two hundred forty-three companies exhibited, compared with 240 last […]
Biomolecule separation is generally required in workflows in agricultural, biotechnology, environmental, food and pharmaceutical applications. The type of separation used is crucial for successful product recovery or purification, and reliable delivery of protein composition is important in downstream processing. Bioprocess chromatography is frequently used for downstream processing of cells, including the purification of peptides, oligonucleotides, […]
Aubagne, France; Goettingen, Germany; and Chalfont St. Giles, UK 9/1/15—Under an OEM supplier agreement, Sartorius Stedim Biotech (SSB) has agreed to supply GE Healthcare Life Sciences with its Sartobind adsorber purification technology. Sartorius will manufacture the technology for GE, which will market it as ReadyToProcess Adsorber. The membrane adsorber ion exchange technology is used to […]
Company Announcements In June, Genedata announced an alliance with IntelliCyt to integrate their respective Genedata Screener software and iQue Screener systems. In August, IntelliCyt named SpectraGenetics as the latest TAP awardee and partner. The TAP program collaborates with scientists and commercial partners to advance cell- and bead-based assays. Biolin Scientific named Thais T. Johansen as […]
Franklin Lakes, NJ 8/25/15—BD Life Sciences, part of Becton, Dickinson, has acquired Cellular Research for an undisclosed amount. Cellular Research develops products for massively parallel single-cell genetic analysis. Its Molecular Indexing technology measures gene expression profiles in single cells. “The acquisition of Cellular Research, combined with our existing cell sorting technology, will provide our customers […]
The inability to reproduce experimental results is a problem gaining increasing attention. A recent paper (see IBO 6/15/15), reported that about half of the annual spending on preclinical research in the US is on irreproducible studies. Last month, a task force of the American Society of Cell Biology (ASCB) published a white paper on the […]
