Natural Products Targeting Oncology Pathways
04 May 2010: In this application note, BioFocus present three examples for natural compounds targeting specific tumor pathways: geldanamycin, borrelidin and fredericamycin. Gram quantities of the compounds are generated using microbial producers and semi-synthesis subsequently generates focused libraries of natural compound analogs. In vivo and in vitro protocols are then used to test potential anticancer properties of the compounds.

Innova Biosciences Launches the Second Part of the Go Direct! Campaign to Raise Awareness of Primary Antibody Labeling
23 Mar 2010: Direct labeling of antibodies greatly simplifies immunodetection techniques. Without the problems of crossover and/or non-specific binding from secondary reagents it is far easier to obtain high quality results in techniques such as flow cytometry, ELISA, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.
