Compact in design, FLIR Systems
A8200sc and A8300sc midwave
infrared (MWIR) cameras offer the
speed and sensitivity researchers
need to capture rapid thermal
events and record the most accu-
rate temperature measurements.
Incorporating cooled indium anti-
monide detectors, they produce 1,280 pixel × 1,280 pixel (A8200sc)
or 1,280 pixel × 720 pixel (A8300sc) thermal images with very
low noise. The cameras capture the finest image details, making
them perfect for electronics inspection, aerial thermal mapping,
nondestructive material testing, and industrial R&D applications.
Operating from 3 μm to 5 μm, they can stream crisp, low-noise HD
data to a PC for live-image viewing and recording, and also provide
full user control over integration times, synchronization inputs,
and window sizes.

complex glycoproteins, and biosimilars. Combining basal and feed
medium into a one-powder product, eCHO Medium enhances late-
stage cell viability, accelerating protein purification and allowing for
production of a consistently increased amount of proteins per cell.
eCHO is available in both liquid and powder formats to suit varying
application-throughput needs.

TissueScan Cancer and Normal Tissue cDNA Arrays are developed
for differential gene expression analysis and validation among
hundreds of different human tissues in less than 2 h. Tissue comple-
mentary DNA (cDNA) of each array is synthesized from high-quality
total RNA of pathologist-verified tissues, normalized and validated
with ß-actin in two sequential quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses, and
provided with clinical information and quality control data. All
TissueScan cDNA Arrays are in PCR microplates from Abgene
(AB-0600). According to the plate manufacturer, the microplates will
fit in standard thermocyclers and qPCR thermocyclers. Over 20
different cancer tissues are available, including breast, colon,
prostate, melanoma, lymphoma, and ovary.

Our MuviCyte live-cell imaging system is designed to operate inside
your cell culture incubator, so you can keep your cells healthy and
perform assays over hours, days, or even weeks. With the MuviCyte
system, you can run a variety of assays with three-color fluorescence
imaging, z-stacking, and stitching; use your preferred culture ves-
sels—chamber slides, Petri dishes, T-flasks, or microplates; and im-
age automatically for walkaway convenience. Put that together with
MuviCyte’s flexible moviemaking software, and you have a great way
to gain more realistic and meaningful insights from your cells.

TTP Ventus, a manufacturer of high-performance, silent micropumps
for medical and life science markets, has announced the introduc-
tion of a range of new pumps that extend performance, deliver-
ing high flow rates, high pressures, and long lifetimes. This opens
up new product innovation possibilities for applications including
microfluidics research, medical diagnostics, therapeutic devices, and
wearables. The new HP Series has been designed for applications
requiring high pressure, with the first model delivering in excess
of 800 mBar, doubling the capability of previous models. The new
LT Series was developed for applications requiring long lifetimes,
typically 5,000 h or more. TTP Ventus has also extended its BL and
XP Series with four additional pumps. These provide increased flow
rates of up to 2.1 L/min, enabling faster inflation with blood pressure
cuffs or therapeutic cushions, for example.

The BD Check-Points CPO Assay can detect the five most-common
carbapenemase genes in less than 2.5 h, and runs on BD’s fully au-
tomated molecular platform, the BD MAX. The new carbapenemase-
producing organisms (CPO) detection assay is an addition to BD’s
comprehensive portfolio dedicated to reducing transmission and
outbreak of deadly pathogens. It allows hospitals and clinical labora-
tories to offer a quick and efficient time to result, enabling immedi-
ate deployment of control measures and treatment.

Bio-Rad Laboratories announces EveryBlot Blocking Buffer, a
Western blot blocking reagent that offers 5-min blocking time and
produces higher signal and lower background levels—resulting in
greater sensitivity for Western blots compared to other available
blocking buffers. It features superior sensitivity and low background
with both chemiluminescent and fluorescence detection across a
wide range of targets. EveryBlot is compatible with all detection
methods and also works with detection of phosphorylated targets,
which eliminates the need for optimization.

Lonza now offers eCHO Basal Medium and Feed, designed to
optimize protein production by delivering a consistent yield and
highly viable cells while keeping lactate levels to a minimum for
optimal protein integrity. Researchers working in the manufacture of
recombinant proteins for medical use can now benefit from this new
serum-free, chemically defined, hydrolysate-free, and nonanimal
origin medium to advance cell proliferation and enhance productiv-
ity. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are commonly used in the
