II still video system to directly acquireimages from chemiluminescent blots Stratagene II still video system is well suited for directimaging of chemiluminescent Western blots. The light-tight cabinet is ideal forthe longer exposure times necessary to...A highly sensitive ATP-luminescence assay using VICTOR2 with the dispenser option
In high sensitivity flash type luminescence assays the measurement is done just after dispensing the activating reagent or after a short delay time. Over the past years luminescence substrates have been improved towards providing more stable signal. These so-called glow type substrates allow microplates to be counted without dispensors. Ho...Counting Non-Aqueous Samples in the TopCount Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence Counter
The microplate format has become a standard for many biological assays such as high throughput screening for drug discovery and radioimmunoassays. Productivity with these high volume procedures has been limited by the amount of sample handling required and low sample counting throughput. Now, however, microplate assays can be efficiently count...ATP Quantitation in the LMax Microplate Luminometer (MaxLine Application Note #40)
Evelyn McGown, Ph.D. and Michael Su, M.S. Molecular Devices Corporation, 8/00 Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is present in all living cells. Because the level isstrictly-controlled, assay of ATP can be used as a indicator of viable cell number.ATP measurements are used to monitor raw materials and manufacturing...DNA Quantitation in the LMax Microplate Luminometer (MaxLine Application Note #37)
Evelyn McGown, Ph.D. and Michael Su, M.S. Molecular Devices Corporation, 8/00 DNA measurements are important for many aspects of molecular biology. Of thespectrophotometric methods available, UV absorbance measurement at 260 nm isthe simplest and has recently gained widespread popularity in the microplateforma...Dual-Luciferase Quantitation in the LMax Microplate Luminometer (MaxLine Application Note #39)
Evelyn McGown, Ph.D. and Michael Su, M.S. Molecular Devices Corporation, 8/00 Reporter gene assays are used to study eukaryotic gene expression. Dual geneticreporters are commonly used in transient transfections of cultured cells tominimize experimental variability caused by differences in cell number, viabili...Use of BRET2 luminescence cell-based assays with LEADseeker Multimodality Imaging System
Competitive pressure is forcing organizations to continually increase screening throughput. Yet accuracy and sensitivity remain vital concerns, particularly for common screens such as luminescence cell-based ass...Cerenkov Counting Performance on the TopCountTM Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence Counter
P by Cerenkov counting, a well-known measurement technique that has the...Photoluminescence Spectroscopy of Quantum Dots, monitored by the Spex FluoroMax
The optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) have potential applications in optoelectronics, biosensing and biolabeling, memory devices, and sources of laser light. For example, alloyed CdSeTe QDs are shown herein to possess a nonlinear change in their photoluminescence spectra, correlated to size and composition, as monitor...Time gated separation of lanthanide luminescence
The distinctive luminescence of lanthanide ions has long been a challenge for the spectroscopist. Methods to counter the extremely low absorption coefficients and luminescence quantum yields have concentrated on Protective ligands to reduce vibrational quenching effects by XH moieties (X = O, N,)....Alien expert illuminates audience on extraterrestrial possibilities
MADISON - Some of extraterrestrial expert s beliefs may leave people bewildered. Speaking to an audience of 300 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Feb. 19, Drake, director of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute in Mountain View, Calif., explained the reasons why he believes in...Stem Cells Illuminate Early Stages of Human Development
MADISON - When introduced to the world in 1998, human embryonic stem cells were considered heralds of a new age of transplant medicine. The prospect of an unlimited supply of cells and tissue of all kinds to treat disease captured public imagination and enthusiasm. But lost in the glitz of the cells' potential to treat an array of devastating and sometimes fatal diseases was another qual...
