SlideCollector 48 from Carl Zeiss Ensures Highest Levels of Sample Purity

One of the major problems inherent in the expression analysis of single cells is the large amount of sample handling involved and the subsequent high risk of contamination as cells isolated and harvested using laser microdissection are manually transferred to an assay plate for expression analysis. Until now, the only way to safeguard that the genetic data collected was from cells of interest and not from surrounding tissue has been to perform numerous repeat experiments.

X-Ray Able to Tell the Left Quartz from the Right Quartz

Many proteins, sugars and pharmaceuticals crystallize into two forms that are mirror images of one another-similar to the way a left and right hand mirror each other. Often, the two structures of these so-called enantiomers can have very different chemical properties.
