Cellectricon has announced its collaboration with the University of Lodz (Poland). Under the agreement, the University of Lodz will invest in Cellaxess (R) HT, the world's first system for high transfection efficiency that allow delivery of reagents free of any genetic material to cells.

"We are excited in relation to collaboration with Cellectricon, and we believe that the system Cellaxess (R) HT will be a big step forward for our efforts within our research program focused on cell biology and molecular genetics of genes associated with clinically relevant treatment cancer, "said Bartosz profesorGrzegorz, head of the department of molecular biophysics at the University of Lodz. The genomic control is a rapidly evolving field, and the need is very important around the technology that allows a high transfection efficiency and viability in most cell types. Cellaxess (R) HT will allow us to take an ambitious expression and mute control processes that would otherwise have been viable in the economic aspect in the study with conventional instrumentation. The acquisition system Cellaxess (R) HT by the University of Lodz was made possible by funds from the Operational Program Innovative Economy Republic of Poland, which have been supported in part by the European Union through the Fund European Regional Development.

Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. and Abbott have entered into a license agreement to develop a new test for ovarian cancer using automated diagnostic analyzers ARCHITECT (R) from Abbott. Under the agreement, Fujirebio Diagnostics to develop and manufacture the Abbott biomarker HE4, a simple blood test can help the risk stratification of women at high risk for ovarian cancer, a disease difficult to detect in its early stages.

After two years of cramming and failing to repeat, an Argentine research team led by Dr. Gustavo Bianchi achieved for the first time polyacrylamides, a type of complex organic molecules key to clean up hazardous industrial liquid discharges heavily questioned, such as mining, paper manufacturing, the petroleum, gas, and the textile industry.

All of the above import large quantities of these polymers and pay between 3,000 and 8,000 dollars per tonne. Not only to clean water, but also because some use polyacrylamides in their processes to separate the useful from the useless.
