Product news

Corning® and Axygen® brand microplates and consumables are compatible with a wide range of laboratory instrumentation for Cell Culture, Drug Screening and storage, Genomics and molecular biology workflows. Products include robotic tips, HTS assay and storage microplates, Corning® cellgro® media and reagents, barcoded storage tubes, filter plates, PCR and sealing products, DNA/RNA isolation kits, and several xeno-free surfaces.

Visit Corning (Booth #521) at SLAS2013 to learn about:

New Axygen® Automation Tips
Axygen now offers a full range of tips to accommodate all applications. They are compatible with Hamilton® Microlab® STARline and Nimbus® workstations, as well as with Agilent® Velocity 11®.

IMAG™-96P Magnetic Beads Separation Device
Designed to simplify the manual processing of magnetic bead-based separation applications, IMAG™
Handheld Magnetic Separation Devices transform low throughput to high throughput separation
by a flip of a tube or microplate.

1536 Well Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) Microplates
The 1536-Well Low Dead Volume (LDV) plate improves assay results through increased signal to noise ratios. The exceptional flatness of this microplate reduces assay noise by providing a consistent measurement position for detection instrumentation using photomultiplier tubes or CCD devices. This microplate is constructed of Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) which provides optical clarity and improved signal levels for luminescence and fluorescence based assays.

Also learn more about products that will be available soon, including:

Corning® Epic® BT System
The Corning® Epic® System is a high-throughput label-free screening platform based on optical biosensor technology. The system performs both biochemical and cell-based drug discovery applications and offers drug developers the ability to evaluate promising new drug targets. It also allows for the observation of direct biological interactions not previously detectable in high-throughput applications. Learn about label-free detection in a benchtop system.

Glass Bottom High Content Microplates
Learn about high optical quality glass bottom, black microplates that are ideal for performing high-content cell-based assays using imaging systems.

A poster entitled “Development of Screening Assays for Two Stem Cell Lineages Using Corning® Epic® Label-free Technology” will be displayed on Tuesday January 15th from 1.00-3.00pm. Visit the poster session to learn more.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Explore a range of manual and electronic pipettes, including single and multichannel, serological and volumetric pipettes, as well as a range of pipette tips. Bottle-top dispensers are also available for simple and fast solvent dispensing. Find the best pipettes & dispensers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates. Find the best protein purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.
