Did you know that up to 50% of renal function can be lost before significant creatinine elevation occurs? Unlike creatinine, Cystatin C does not suffer from this ‘blind area’. Cystatin C is extremely sensitive to very small changes in GFR and is therefore capable of detecting early stage kidney dysfunction. Furthermore, Cystatin C is a particularly useful marker of renal function in patients where creatinine measurements are not suitable e.g. individuals who are obese, malnourished, have liver cirrhosis or reduced muscle mass.
Cystatin C is a small (13 kDa) cysteine proteinase inhibitor that is produced at a constant rate by all nucleated cells. The small molecular weight of Cystatin C allows it to be completely removed and broken down by the kidneys, levels therefore remain steady if the kidneys are working efficiently and the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is normal.

Building on the principles of SMART Automation, Sakura Finetek introduces the next step in total laboratory automation, the Tissue-Tek AutoSection Automated Microtome for histopathology laboratories. The first of its kind, this fully-automated and programmable microtome aligns and trims blocks with optimal precision, section after section. AutoAlign, the core technology behind AutoSection, precisely orients blocks and dramatically reduces the risk of losing tissue. In addition, with AutoTrim technology, blocks are ready for sectioning in seconds. Another major benefit of automation and stress-free microtomy is the reduction of repetitive motion and the increase of staff satisfaction. AutoSection ensures consistent high-quality sectioning, preservation of valuable tissue, improved productivity and minimal repetitive motions.
Lab M’s µPREP ‘just-add-water’ range of culture media includes µPREP Half Fraser Broth ISO (+FAC) for the isolation of Listeria spp and µPREP Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) ISO used extensively as a pre-enrichment medium in Salmonella testing. These complete media are provided sealed in a 20 litre bag. Simply adding water through the filter means there is no mess and no need to autoclave. For ultimate convenience, the microbiological culture media are now also available as Pinnacle pre-poured plates. Users benefit from plates, prepared by the manufacturer under a stringent quality management system in a GMP environment.

The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx assay has now been introduced on the Panther system, allowing complete sample-to-result automation in the only in vitro nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for both the detection and quantitation of HIV-1 RNA. The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx assay is intended for use as an aid in both the diagnosis and confirmation of HIV-1 infection as well as in the clinical management of patients infected with HIV-1. This highly sensitive assay can detect HIV-1 RNA as low as 13 copies/mL using a 0.5 mL sample. The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx assay offers the advantage of having a limit of detection (LOD) that is not equal to the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) when utilized for diagnosis, to enable the assay to detect HIV-1 viral load below quantifiable levels. The assay’s broad dynamic range allows quantification of HIV-1 RNA, from 30 copies/mL to 10 million copies/mL. High precision in quantitation is ensured, with a narrow coefficient of variation across the linear range—including in low-viremia samples. The Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx assay provides 3 levels of protection for confidence in assay performance despite drug selection pressures and growing genetic diversity. This is achieved by the use of a dual-target approach for built-in redundancy, with both targets chosen within highly conserved genomic regions (LTR and pol) of HIV-1 together with a sophisticated primer design – including length – to tolerate mutations; as well as redundant oligonucleotides for additional protection against mutations. The random access Panther system eliminates batching restrictions and allows the user to run HIV-1 side by side with 3 other sexually transmitted disease/sexually transmitted infection (STD/STI) testing assays: CT/NG, HPV and Trichomonas. Primary tubes can be loaded and processed directly with no aliquot or manual transfer to a second tube required.
This new ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) for 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D is claimed to be the fastest 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D ELISA on the market, with proven extraction method and limited number of incubation steps. It has breakable wells that offers flexibility for small and medium-sized laboratories. Performance of the assay is excellent, showing a good correlation with the Golden Standard LC-MS/MS and a cross-reactivity with the D2 form of 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D close to 100%. Measurement of 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D is less obvious than 25OH Vitamin D, because of its low concentration and short half-life. However, because of its metabolic activity and especially in cases of chronic renal insufficiency, it is more and more recommended to add the measurement of 1,25(OH)2 Vitamin D to the current existing 25OH Vitamin D test.
Now available is a label colour coding option to help major laboratories quickly and easily identify samples. The durable labels remain stuck down to -80°C and are uniquely shaped to create a window allowing the contents of the vial to be easily viewed with the addition of colour coded stripes for instant sample recognition. CILS-Labels can be printed ‘in-lab, on demand’ straight from a standard thermal transfer printer or can be supplied pre-printed providing immediate, hassle-free, study-specific serialized durable laboratory labels for all applications.
A comprehensive range of anti-Chlamydia test systems provides reliable serological diagnosis of infections with C. trachomatis, C. pneumoniae and C. psittaci. Serological methods are an important supplement to direct pathogen detection in the diagnosis of primary Chlamydia infections. They are, moreover, particularly useful for diagnosing persistent infections and for identifying long-term consequences of infection, such as sterility or reactive arthritis following C. trachomatis infection. The gold standard for detecting Chlamydia antibodies is microimmunofluorescence (MIF). The Anti-Chlamydia MIF provides BIOCHIP substrates of elementary bodies of C. trachomatis, C. pneumoniae and C. psittaci for parallel detection of the corresponding antibodies. The mutual lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen is inactivated to minimize cross reactivity. A control BIOCHIP of non-infected cells allows secure differentiation of unspecific and specific reactions. Anti-Chlamydia antibodies can also be detected using ELISA or immunoblot. The Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis ELISA utilizes native major outer membrane protein (MOMP) as the antigen for species-specific antibody detection. The Anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae ELISA is based on a cell lysate and allows genus-specific antibody detection. The immunoblot Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis EUROLINE-WB contains a unique combination of three categories of antigen: Chlamydia cross-reactive LPS, highly specific antigens from elementary bodies of C. trachomatis and highly specific recombinant MOMP antigen. This broad antigen spectrum ensures high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of antibodies against C. trachomatis. All anti-Chlamydia test procedures can be automated using specialized automation systems.

With the introduction of the two 15 mL and 50 mL screw cap tubes, Eppendorf Tubes now cover the entire volume range from 0.5 mL to 50 mL. The newly designed screw caps provide not only optimal sealing properties, but with their grooved and multi-surface side-contour they simultaneously ensure a secure, slip-free grip. The optimized handling features further facilitate safe opening and closing of the tubes via convenient one-handed operation. The Eppendorf Conical Tubes are further characterized by an expanded purity grade: they are not only sterile and pyrogen-free, but they are also free from DNases and RNases as well as human and bacterial DNA. These features make them ideally suited for cell biology applications in a sterile environment as well as for laboratory protocols in the fields of microbiology and molecular biology, which rely on freedom from contaminations with DNA. The highest level of manufacturing precision and robustness ensures smooth performance of these tubes in laboratory instruments such as centrifuges or thermomixers.
