The Institute for Systems Biology announced today at its 2005 international symposium on Computational Challenges in Systems Biology that ISB's Human Proteome Folding Project launched on IBM's World Community Grid in November 2004 has already predicted 50,000 protein structures. "This project showcases the enormous power of collaborations," stated Dr. Richard Bonneau, senior scientist at t...Multisignal Output Accessory from Agilent Technologies
Description:Agilents G1979A multisignal output accessory lessens the expensive task of validating multiple data systems in laboratories with multiple mass spectrometers. It converts the unprocessed digital MS signals from Agilent 1100 Series LC/MSD quadrupole mass spectrometers into analog format and transmits the analog data directly to a laboratory information management (LIMS) systems for processing. Calc...LXQ High Throughput Linear Ion Trap from Thermo Scientific
Description:The LXQ linear ion trap mass spectrometer enables high-throughput solutions for todays fast paced analytical laboratory. The LXQ linear ion trap mass spectrometer is designed for drug discovery and proteomic applications, delivering the fast cycle time and increased sensitivity of a Thermo linear ion trap at an attractive price. The combination of fast cycle time and high MS n spectral qual...Catch & Release v2.0 High Throughput (HT) Immunoprecipitation Assay Kit- 96 well from Upstate
Description:This kit allows for quick and reproducible immunoprecipitation (IP) by using a 96 well filter plate. The system is more reproducible than regular IPs, which are problematic with regards to washing the protein A/G agarose without disrupting the agarose bed. The binding of the antibody/antigen complex in Catch and Release is reversible, and elution of the immune complex can occur with native or den...Spatial Behavior System, Tracker, w/ Output from myNeuroLab.com
Description:Tracker w/ OutputCumulates a score of movement counts, similar to an infrared beam break system, except that it.can track up to 6 subjects at once, in two frames of reference, recording can be triggered. Can outpt a sync pulse to coordinate with other signals such as EEG. Can use animal location and timing information to control arena rotations or reinforcemnts to the animal. Test a whole expe...BioEditor from San Diego Super Computer Center - Bioeditor
Description:Overview: Once a macromolecular structure has been determined, the challenge is to communicate that information to a widely diverse audience of scientists, educators and students. Current options include the printed literature and dissemination over the Internet, either via online journals or directly on personal web pages. Printed literature has the advantage of wide acceptance and availability,...Innovative Tissue Array Technology for High-Throughput Screening of Gene Expression

Medicine Shoppe India (MSI), the sole franchisee for US based Medicine Shoppe International, with operations in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Baroda and Pune, has dropped Chennai from list of its target for operations in the country. According to informed sources, MSI, which recently drew up plans to expand its franchisee operations from the present 19 outlets to 50 by the end of the current finan...Computer Program can assist to detect Heart Attack
According to a new research, a computer screening program can accurately diagnose a heart attack even when some information required by the program is missing. In a study of more than 1,000 adults who went to the emergency department for chest pain, the diagnostic tool identified more than 80% of people who were having a heart attack.// The findings suggest that emergency department ph...CL-100 4.0 Computerized Lensmeter
Description:CL-100 measures all types of lenses faster and with improved precision. The new 4.0 version automatically senses multi-focal lenses with a prompt icon that makes operation easier while the unique graphic display guides the operator through the neutralization process....S88 DUAL OUTPUT SQUARE PULSE STIMULATOR
Description:The S88 is a dual output, general purpose stimulator for nerve and muscle stimulation procedures. Applications extend from single cell to entire muscle stimulation. The two output channels can be operated independently or synchronized to produce complex paradigms. The outputs are non-isolated constant voltage positive pulses. New features include computer compatibility and flexibility of synchron...CombinatoRx to Present Combination High Throughput Screening (cHTS) Data at Upcoming AACR Meeting
