Micronic announces new Track-IT™ Sample Management System. This system is interfaced to a 2D code reader that allows you to reliably and efficiently organise and track individual samples.

Keeping track of large numbers and types of samples and specimen (Chemical compounds, DNA, RNA, plasmids, clones, proteins, peptides, probes, antibodies, enzymes, tissues, cell lines etc.) - where they are and their precise location is a demanding and critical task for many laboratories and sample storage facilities.

Track-IT is a complete software package designed to track and manage your samples - ideal for biobanks and biorepositories as well as molecular biology, cellular biology, clinical, chemical, biochemistry, immunology, high-throughput screening and IVF laboratories.

Fully compatible with most commercial barcode readers and scanners - Track-IT allows you to catalogue and organise samples quickly and efficiently. The central information database produced by Track-IT is customisable to match the workflow of your laboratory, as well as to match the unique aspects of different sample types. Track-IT has been designed to empower laboratory scientists to simply manage sample data and information and make it available to other colleagues in their organisation.

Offering operation over an intranet, Track-IT allows data to be accessed from any connected computer in the network thereby accelerating information retrieval. Consequently laboratory staff is able to spend less time on repetitive and time-consuming operations and dedicate more time to productive research activities.

Track-IT allows you to simply import data from existing files into a common presentation, undertake cross database searches, quickly retrieve information and produce reports. Compliant with CFR 21 Part 11 protocols, Track-IT offers full sample audit traceability. Combining reliability, efficiency and ease of use with affordability a single Track-IT licence covers all users within an organisation.

An informative online tutorial that demonstrates how Track-IT can help you to reliably and efficiently organise and track individual samples can be viewed at by following the Company article page link top right of this page.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Integration ServicesIncorporate lab systems, software and equipment with integration services.Data MiningData mining is an important process for extracting information, patterns and trends from data. Data mining software, databases, reference materials and storage packages are available to process lab data.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment 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.Protein CrystallographyProtein crystallization is the process of crystallizing purified proteins for 3D structure analysis by x-ray crystallography. The main methods of protein crystallization include sitting drop, hanging drop and microbatch. It is important to control parameters such as pH, temperature and concentration. Following crystallization, detectors and software are used for data collection and analysis.
