Product news

From August 2nd- 4th 2016, Titertek-Berthold will be exhibiting at the AACC Clinical Lab Expo in Philadelphia, US. Call in at booth 4200 to see Titertek-Berthold’s range of instruments for research and clinical laboratories: see the launch of a brand new luminometer; view microplate workstations; and learn about OEM manufacturer options.

Titertek-Berthold will be showcasing the Crocodile, a compact, user-friendly assay workstation which provides walk-away automation of assay processing in low to medium high-throughput range. Use of the Crocodile 5-in-one ELISA miniWorkstation reduces hands-on time by eliminating the need to move plates between dispenser, shaker, incubator, washer and reader. Crocodile is also available in the 4-in-one version (without reader), which is the ideal for microplate assay preparation and automation. Main applications of the platform are immunoassays, DNA and protein arrays.

For higher throughput, delegates can view the Zoom HT microplate washer. This instrument is robust, easy-to-use and very fast. The unmatched speed results from the unique one-rail design, aligning wash and stacking functions in close proximity on one level. A unique and self-emptying vacuum system provides uninterrupted, constant flow rates. The Zoom HT microplate washer is your ideal tool for ELISA plate coating of up to 1000 plates per shift. An optional Dispense Module is available for precise dispensing of additional reagents with minimal dead volume (important for adding antibody conjugate).

New product launch

Titertek-Berthold is a leader in luminescence measurement equipment. The new Sirius II tube luminometer offers a maximum in sample flexibility, and a new intuitive touchscreen graphical user interface platform.

OEM/Private label manufacturer

In addition to the standard product configurations, many more combinations and variations are available under OEM contract.

Titertek-Berthold specializes in the development, manufacture and distribution of high performance instruments for the Life Science laboratory. Products and services are available all over the globe. Quality management is certified against DIN EN ISO 13485 and 9001.

Blood TransfusionBlood Transfusion involves giving donor blood to a recipient patient. Screening is essential to avoid transfusion reactions. Blood banks use immunohematological techniques to determine rh and ABO blood group, and screen for antibodies using specific antisera. Blood Banks use Direct Coombs Tests (DCT) and Indirect Coombs Tests (IAT) to detect hemolysis and Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN).HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments. Find the best microbiology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Embryology / IVFEmbryology refers to the development of an embryo resulting from the fertilization of the ovum, to fetus stage. In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the fertilization of the egg outside of the human body, and is an important treatment for infertility.AACCThe American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo is the largest meeting for clinical laboratory professionals in the world. This year's meeting is being held in Atlanta, USA, July 26th-30th, 2015.
