MetaChip provides quick, efficient toxicity screening of potential drugs
A large, multisite trial designed to examine the safety and preliminary effectiveness of two candidate topical microbicides to prevent HIV infection has opened to volunteer enrollment. The trial, sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, represents a partnership among various research institutions in Africa and the U...Boosting HIV screening can increase survival and is cost effective
Expanded HIV screening can increase patient life span, prevent the spread of the disease, and is cost effective, researchers at Yale, Harvard and the Massachusetts General Hospital report in the February 10 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The study's findings are part of a two-paper series in NEJM on the value of expanded HIV screening in the United States. The Yale/H...Researchers develop assay that could be applied to drug screening
Using state of the art imaging technology a team from Yale School of Medicine has glimpsed one of the cell's most important 'nano-machines' in action. The work, performed in collaboration with English and French scientists, provides new insight into the machinery cells use to internalize cell surface receptors. All cells traffic protein cargos across their outer membrane, and one of the mo...Aptamer-based Biosensor screens Air Force personnel and equipment
Air Force personnel will soon know within minutes if they or their equipment are contaminated with a biological agent, thanks to a new technology developed by the Air Force and a national laboratory. "The system will provide an increased capa...NIH creates nationwide network of molecular libraries screening centers
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today announced it is awarding $88.9 million in grants to nine institutions over three years to establish a collaborative research network that will use high-tech screening methods to identify small molecules that can be used as research tools. Small molecules have great potential to help scientists in their efforts to learn more about key biological proces...Rapid-Screen Arrayed cDNA Library Panels Master Plates -Human Placenta from OriGene Technologies
Description:The Rapid-Screen cDNA Library Panels were designed for full-length gene cloning and require just three sets of PCRs to identify the desired cDNA clone. The first PCR analysis is performed in a 96-well "Master Plate," where each well contains plasmid DNA from 5,000 clones. Having identified the positive well(s) by gel electrophoresis of the reaction products, the second PCR analysis is carried out...Rapid-Screen Arrayed cDNA Library Panels Master Plates -Human Heart from OriGene Technologies

The new LightCycler foodproof Beer Screening Kit (dedicatedto the detection of beer-spoilage bacteria on theLightCycler Instrument) in combination with the MagNAPure LC DNA III Kit (for the automated isolation of bacterialDNA on the MagNA Pure LC Instrument) offersbr...Need for Colon cancer screening
Colon cancer should be screened periodically once in 5 years in older people (above 50).The usual test is the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) which looks for traces of blood shed by a tumour, or the sigmoidoscopy - an examination of the lower colon. According to researchers at the Finland Affairs Medical Centre in the US, death rate from colon cancer has been decreased due to the routine screening...DNA biochip for genetic screening
A scientist from the University of Houston has developed a chemical process for building a device that could help doctors predict a patient’s response to drugs or screen patients for thousands of genetic mutations and diseases, all with one simple lab test. The DNA chip is similar to a computer chip but imbedded with DNA molecules instead of electronic circuitry. It is designed to pro...Breast screening among diabetic women
Breast cancer should be detected in early stages in order to prevent it from advancing. Women who have diabetes should go for a mammogram as a routine check up, thereby enabling a thourough screening of breast cancer. //According to a new study there has been decreased detection of breast cancer and henceforth brest screening should be implemented. Researchers at the University of Texas...Screening device for ovarian cancer
According to researchers, a new technique for detecting ovarian cancer at an early stage is demonstrating its potential. Researchers in the US are using cutting-edge technology called proteomics //to differentiate healthy from diseased tissue. Proteomics involves creating a 'fingerprint' of tissue, based upon detecting and analysing the different protein molecules it contains. We already know tha...1-Meter Roll-Up Tangent Screen
