Millipore Releases Updated Multiwell Products Guide for Drug Discovery Research and Sample Preparation

17 Oct 2006

Product news

Millipore Corporation today announced the availability of its Multiwell Products Guide featuring a number of high-throughput screening and cell culture products to be used in the advancement of new therapies and drugs.

This 40-page guide features information on a range of applications including sample preparation, biochemical assays, cell-based assays, and ADME/compound profiling. Also included are protocol illustrations, performance data, and complete product ordering information. This updated guide includes information about the following new products:

  • MultiScreen®HTS 384-well Filter Plates
  • Millicell® 24- and 96-well Cell Culture Insert Plates
  • MultiScreen™HTS Vacuum Manifold.

Another new feature of this updated publication is a selection guide for MultiScreen HTS filter plates. The selection guide groups plates based on membrane type, pore size, sterility, and other attributes, allowing customers to more easily choose the correct plate for their applications.

MultiScreen Solubility Filter Plates

Merck

96-well filter plate designed and optimized for aqueous solubility assaysDetermining a compound's aqueous solubility has become an essential early measurement to make in the drug discovery process. Poor water solubility can cause problems in many different in vitro testing techniques leading to unreliable results and/or reproducibility problems; insoluble precipitates have been shown to cause false positives in bioassays potentially wasting valuable resources. Water solubility also influences absorption and thus can be used to help predict the bioavailability of a molecule.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ADME-ToxicologyADME-toxicology (ADME-Tox) studies are used in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics to assess the activity/toxicity of drugs <i>in vivo</i> or <i>in vitro</i>. Find bioassays for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drug molecules including cytotoxicity, transporter/permeability, metabolism and activity assays as well as hepatocytes and cell lines for ADME. Find the best ADME-toxicology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
