Cancer research and Leica Laser microdissection!

December 18, 2018

DNA mutations lead to abnormal or missing functional proteins, which can cause cells to multiply uncontrollably and become cancerous. The extraction of pure tumor material is extremely important to understand the underlying mutation for a specific cancer type.

Leica Laser Microdissection systems allows the extraction of purely cancerous tissue without contaminating your sample with healthy cells and improve the workflow by precisely cutting only the cells you are interested in.

  • Every step is done under visual control and proceeds without contamination with surrounding tissue.

  • A New LMD software 8.2 with improved usability and larger application range.

  • A powerful and easy-to-use software that contains all needed features for a successful laser microdissection process enabling the user to easily select, dissect and visualize dissectates.

Identify new markers for cancer with qPCR

Identify new markers for cancer with qPCR

One of the most exciting potential applications of circulating non-coding RNAs like microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is as biomarkers for early detection of cancer. Easily accessible markers like RNAs in the blood are an attractive possibility for finding cancers as soon as possible. Our scientists have compiled an application note showing how to use qPCR in translational research to identify potential lncRNA biomarkers in lung cancer. Check it out here!

IDEXX Enterolert-DW Obtains the First AFNOR NF VALIDATION for Detection of Enterococci in Drinking Water

IDEXX Enterolert-DW Obtains the First AFNOR NF VALIDATION for Detection of Enterococci in Drinking Water

IDEXX announces that the Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR) has just granted NF Validation to the method Enterolert®-DW and Quanti-Tray® for the detection of enterococci in drinking water (Certificate Number IDX 33/03-10/13). This new validation makes Enterolert-DW the first and only method validated by AFNOR for the detection of enterococci bacteria in drinking water.
