information from all regions and product areas of the life
sciences:
USA & Australia
Illumina
and Qiagen and their respective launches of real-time cyclers of
acquired companies
Q: Is
Illumina’s Eco cycler really new, or just the old Pixo cycler
of Helixis?
A: An Illumina spokesman confirmed to [iito] Business Intelligence that
the newly launched Eco real-time cycler is a newly developed instrument
and not identical to the PIXO real-time cylcer sold by Helixis before.
The Eco cycler has been developed by Helixis, which in April 2010 has
been acquired by Illumina.
Q: Did Qiagen’s
Rotor-Gene Q provide more new features than Corbett’s
Rotor-Gene 6000, or was it only a new coat of paint?
A: In February 2009 a spokeswoman of Qiagen told [iito] that actually
only the colours of the Rotor-Gene Q have been new.

company Promise Advanced Proteomics is offering its patented
PSAQ mass spectrometry-based technology

does the technology originate?

Business Intelligence that Promise is a 51% subsidiary of
PX'Therapeutics. Promise licensed its patented PSAQ method from CEA,
which also holds an interest in the company.

mass spectrometers are actually used?
A: Promise Advanced Proteomics uses a QTrap4000 (AB SCIEX) to analyse
biologcial samples containing the PSAQ standard. For quality control of
the PSAQ an Orbitrap (Thermo Scientific) is used. Routinely this is an Orbitrap XL, but the
company also has an Orbitrap Discovery. The QTrap4000 is also used to
control the incorporation of labelled amino acids.

Exclusive [iito] content based on own research
All
those news include content that has been researched exclusively by
[iito] Business
Intelligence!
While [iito] has spent
the last years "getting the content out of the news" or "turning
documents into information", – i.e., structuring and
indexing information being publicly available and having been produced
by somebody else –, this month we start publishing
information based on our own enquiries and thus being exclusively
available on our two web portals at Mass-Spec-Capital.com and gene-sensor.com and two forthcoming web portals
that will be launched by [iito] Business Intelligence in 2011.
To find more information
on our recent milestones and own editorial content, please
read our press release issued last week, which can be
downloaded at http://www.gene-sensor.com/PressReleases/iito-Press-Release-20100915-MSC-Milestones-Opens-Archive-Own-Editorial-Content.pdf
Thanks for reading, back in two weeks!
Kind regards
Marcus Lippold
