SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Cell
Biosciences, Inc., a provider of innovative protein analysis tools
to life science researchers, today announced the launch of the
latest addition to their premier line of next-generation imaging
products, the FluorChem® M MultiFluor system. This new platform
combines highly-sensitive quantitative detection of multicolor
fluorescent Western blots with key ease-of-use features aimed at
simplifying the laboratory imaging process. MultiFluor Western
Blotting kits, a new line of reagents optimized for the FluorChem
M, are launching jointly – creating a combined offering that
provides a complete solution for multicolor fluorescent
imaging.
Multiplex capability enables scientists to obtain more
information in a single Western blot than chemiluminescence imaging
or film, while also providing greater dynamic and linear range.
Multiple proteins can be detected simultaneously and proteins with
co-migration patterns are revealed immediately. Additionally, the
need to strip and reprobe blots for subsequent detection of other
proteins is eliminated, which minimizes protein loss and results in
shorter assay times and higher data integrity.
“The new FluorChem platforms integrate high-performance imaging
with true ease of operation, facilitating the transition from
darkroom film imaging to bench-top imager,” commented Tim Harkness,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Cell Biosciences.
“Customer response to FluorChem E, our initial market entry in this
product line, has been tremendously positive. We sold over 100
FluorChem E units in the first six months, and we believe that
FluorChem M will be a key driver for the continued growth of our
imaging line.”
FluorChem M features intuitive software, touchscreen operation
and pre-optimized protocols that let researchers start imaging
right out of the box – no training required. Using a unique
browser-based interface, scientists can control
