With the first half of the year behind us, let us reflect on the state of the analytical and life science instrumentation and lab products market, how it has developed thus far and what is in store for the rest of 2015. The original January forecast (see IBO 1/15/15) was published without the benefit of […]
Since its introduction in 2013, the use of the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) 9 system for genome editing has exploded. Products for CRISPR/Cas9 range from plasmids and oligonucleotides to transgenic animals and screening services. According to Bioinformatics LLC’s report, “The Market for CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing Products,” published in May and based […]
Over the last few years, understanding of genetic engineering methods has progressed to a new level. The latest method involves clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR). These segments of DNA are characterized by short bacterial virus or plasmid sequences that are interspersed between a series of spacers made up of repeated bases. The function […]
Company Announcements ORFLO Technologies agreed in 2014 to distribute the microfluidic-based zEPI Flow flow cytometer to breweries and wineries to improve yeast-counting and -viability QC activities. In March, Lonza entered into a distribution agreement for CytoMate Technologies’ CytoSMART Technology. In April, Shimadzu announced its official entry into the cell analysis business with the development and […]
Company Announcements ACEA Biosciences and Hurel entered into a technology and marketing alliance in October 2014. Hurel cocultures of primary cryopreserved hepatocytes will be made to order in ACEA’s xCELLigence microtiter E-Plates. Seahorse Bioscience and Volpi announced in November 2014 a liaison to develop and manufacture optical modules for the Seahorse XF Extracellular Flux Analyzer. […]
Company Announcements Sphere Fluidics secured in June $2.3 million in the first close of a new investment fund to develop its Cyto-Mine single-cell analysis system. BioFluidix and cytena partnered to develop single-cell printing technology. In August, News-Gazette.com reported that Sony Biotechnology will close the 22-person iCyt Mission Technology site in Champaign, Illinois, and move the […]
Company Announcements Ibidi announced in March a collaboration with SiMPore to develop live-cell imaging tools combining their respective Cell Biochips and G-Flat Microporous Glass Membranes to create bio-slides. Sysmex entered into a clinical-research, licensing and joint-development agreement with Merck Millipore to use Millipore’s imaging flow cytometry technology for the creation of diagnostic tools for hematologic […]
The study of cells has been instrumental in understanding biological processes. Research on genes and proteins expressed in specific types of cells has typically been performed on samples containing many cells, with analysis reflecting the data averaged across them. But recent studies have indicated differences in cells of the same type or within the same […]
At a time when large exhibitions seem to be declining in attendance and exhibitor participation, Analytica has clearly established itself as a “must-attend event” based on a proven formula for success. The trade fair took place May 10–13 in Munich, Germany. Held at an outstanding modern venue in the heart of Europe, well planned and […]
Company Announcements Bulldog Bio announced that it is exclusively distributing Phase Holographic Imaging’s M4 Phase Holographic System, a compact microscope for image cytometry, in North America. Vivone Biosciences announced in November 2013 a three-year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research to expand the capability of its flow cytometry–based […]
