Total reflectance X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TXRF) is a variation on the standard X-ray fluorescence technique. In both methods, the sample is irradiated with X-rays. The high energy of the X-ray photons is sufficient to knock out electrons from the inner electron shells of the atoms in the sample. As outer electrons make quantum transitions into […]

AVISO GmbH appointed Analytik Jena AG a distributor of its CellCelector system. Harvard Bioscience entered into a comarketing and codevelopment agreement with Nanoentek, giving BTX Harvard Apparatus exclusive distribution of Digital Bio’s Microporator gene delivery system in the US and giving Digital Bio exclusive distribution of BTX’s electroporation products in selected Asian nations. Advalytix, a […]

IBO has selected LECO’s new TruTOF HT as the best new product from this year’s ASMS meeting in Indianapolis. Although the aesthetics of this new GC-TOF mass spectrometer are quite subdued, everything else about the new system is to the contrary. For starters, the system is a benchtop design, comparable in size to the only […]

Founded in 1999, today Fluidigm has over 100 employees and subsidiaries in Europe, Japan and Singapore. Last year, the company introduced its second product platform, the Biomark System for gene expression using quantitative real-time PCR. Based on integrated fluidic circuit technology, the Biomark System enables nanofluidic manipulation and mixing of reagents and samples in a […]

Although the range of new product introductions at this year’s ASMS meeting did not match the scale or scope of last year, there were still a number of significantly new mass spectrometers and related products that will no doubt have a major impact on the mass spectrometry market. The most common theme among these new […]
