Product news

UVP is now part of Analytik Jena AG, based in Jena, Germany, and UVP will now offer Analytik Jena products in the Americas.

The Neuroscience show provides an excellent opportunity to exhibit UVP's BioImaging Systems and laboratory products for life science research and more. In addition to these products, UVP will introduce Analytik Jena products such as:

• qTOWER 2.2 - standard real-time PCR
• InnuPure® C16 - setting new standards in automated extraction
• FlexCycler2 - the new standard PCR thermal cycler
• Isolation Kits - manual or automated preparation kits for nucleic acids

UVP will exhibit BioImaging Systems such as the iBox® Explorer™2 Imaging Microscope which enables macro to micro fluorescence detection in vivo animal imaging. The iBox Explorer provides breakthrough advances with dual lighting and software-controlled objectives for imaging of whole animals, tissue margins to individual cells for research such as tumor tracking, biodistribution monitoring and micro/macro metastases.

The ChemiDoc-It®TS2 Imager allows quick and simple image capture with the touch of the screen. The integrated computer, touch screen and exclusive capture software simplify workflow for imaging of chemiluminescent, fluorescent and colorimetric gels and blots. The system optimizes gel and chemiluminescent blot imaging with the highly sensitive megapixel resolution, cooled CCD camera. View low light samples in the light-tight darkroom which creates an optimum environment for chemiluminescent blots. No film required for chemiluminescent western blot imaging.

Additional BioImaging Systems include the BioSpectrum®810 Imaging System which permits enhanced image capture with the dynamic 8.1 megapixel high resolution and high sensitivity capabilities. Camera sensitivity and efficient ultra-cooled technology permits superior capture of fluorescent gels and chemiluminescent blots. The GelDoc-It® series imagers are for high resolution gel imaging and analysis. Select from imagers with a built-in computer/touch screen or an external computer/monitor. Perform basic gel documentation with the BioDoc-It® Imaging System, a compact stand-alone unit with built-in touch screen.

UVP manufactures a large selection of ultraviolet and laboratory products. The UV lamps feature handheld, high intensity, inspection and bench models in portable and wall powered models. Miniature Pen-Ray® Light Sources are available in custom and standard configurations for uses including fluorescence, inspection, analytical and sterilization applications. Ultraviolet products include a large selection of UV transilluminators, UV crosslinkers and UV cabinets plus UV intensity meters for measuring the useful life of a UV source. Precision heated hybridization ovens include the unique HL-2000 HybriLinker features a hybridization oven and UV crosslinker chambers in one unit for maximizing procedures. HEPA/UV PCR hoods feature a three-stage filter system and shortwave UV for controlling contamination.

The combination of UVP and Analytik Jena products aids in the efficient workflow productivity in researcher studies. To find out more about these products, visit UVP's booth 1613 or go to uvp.com.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners. Find the best electrophoresis equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Western blotting equipment includes all apparatus necessary to transfer proteins from gel to membrane and subsequent processing steps. Protein transfer can be performed by electroblotting with wet, semi-dry and dry transfer systems onto nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. Blocking, washing and labeling of membranes follows, involving buffers, blocking reagents, blotting / incubation trays, labeling reagents, immunoblotting assays, antibodies and conjugates. Automated equipment for these steps is available to accelerate your lab workflow. Finally, detection and imaging of proteins can be conducted using gel documentation and imaging systems.
