September 12, 2011 by Peter · Leave a Comment
Just received this news from BioSilta and think it will be of interest to quite a few. Further down is a link to detailed info, but here are the headlines:
17-fold increase in specific activity
When compared with LB, the EnPresso medium delivered a 17-fold increase in beta-galactosidase activity after 48 hours. The pH value remained stable between 7.0 and 7.5.
90-fold increase in volumetric yield
Compared to LB, the EnPresso medium delivered a volumetric yield of up to 90-fold.
Details of Materials and Methods, Results and Conclusions are available as a Poster:

09/09/11: Using PrimeTime qPCR Assays in Multiplex Experiments
September 9, 2011 by Peter · Leave a Comment
IDT have posted a short article on their website about using their PrimeTime qPCR Assays in multiplex assays. The PrimeTime assays themselves allow researchers to change the primer:probe ratio and use well-separated fluorescent dyes on the probes. Read the article to get further insight.
07/09/11: Alert: MIQE Seminars in Copenhagen and Aarhus, September 27th and 29th
September 7, 2011 by Peter · Leave a Comment
Just a short post to inform researchers in Denmark about the upcoming MIQE Events in Copenhagen and Aarhus.
I am very lucky in being able to get Raza Ahmed from Agilent’s genomics team over for a few days. Raza has tons of experience in qPCR, having worked for Stratagene before they became part of Agilent. Raza has agreed to give an introduction to MIQE (read more on the Events page) that should serve to educate and inform researchers about the guidelines. There will be plenty of time to ask Raza about qPCR subjects not related to MIQE as well.
Please come along, say “hej”, listen and learn and enjoy a coffee.
