TGR BioSciences Announces Expansion of its ‘No-Wash’ AlphaScreen Surefire Cellular Kinase Assay Portfolio

Adelaide, South Australia — TGR BioSciences announces expansion of the extremeley successful and proven ‘No-wash’ AlphaScreen Surefire portfolio by addition of 9 new cell pathway analysis kits for measurement of phosphoproteins. The AlphaScreen SureFire technology is an exquisitely sensitive assay system which combines TGR’s SureFire assay platform with PerkinElmer’s Alpha Technology. The AlphaScreen SureFire technology is widely employed by many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the development of new drugs and therapies for numerous diseases including cancer. The AlphaScreen SureFire range now includes over 60 assay kits and is available exclusively through TGR’s commercial partner, Perkin Elmer.

“The additional assays add to an already expansive and powerful array of existing cell based assay kits. We anticipate continued strong growth in the AlphaScreen SureFire portfolio as these assays meet a specific need in the market in providing the means to analyze endogenous levels of kinase activity in cells without the need for engineering recombinantly expressed proteins. The partnership with PerkinElmer has been an enormous success and brings together 2 innovative and powerful technologies in the combination of SureFire and Alpha Technologies”, says Leanna Read, CEO and Managing Director of TGR BioSciences.
