In a previous post, I introduced Sekisui Xenotech’s Research Biobank, which is based on rejections from liver transplantation as opposed to post-mortem tissues, thus offering a guarantee for better tissue preservation and larger quantities versus biopsies. As donor demographics are known (BMI, diabetes, alcohol use…) , these tissues are very useful resources for advanced research on liver related diseases. The data summarized in this article, are an interesting illustration of results obtained based on these tissues. If you’d like to download the full content, I have included the link at the end of this post.

In a previous post, I introduced the G-Series Mouse antibody arrays to profile up to 200 mouse proteins using a combination of 5 antibody arrays on glass slide. This new Mouse L2 L-Series (label based antibody array) goes one step further in the number of targets to profile – 500 on one single array – allowing you to work with smaller sample volume. Read more about the technology and its advantages in this post, whether you’re considering using it in your lab, or outsourcing your project to save time & ressources.

High quality isolation of lymphocytes is a key step in many in vitro research programs covering immunology, infectious diseases and oncology. To simplify this step, CEDARLANE® have developed an efficient and easy-to -use cell separation media: Lympholyte®

Tissue culture for Primary cell isolation are often jeopardized by the outgrowth of contaminating fibroblasts. As fibroblasts usually grow at a much faster rate compared to the target cell population, their expansion has to be tightly controlled to end up with a culture as pure as possible.
