73 Major US University Uses GeneGnome for Six Years
Syngene is delighted to announce its GeneGnome dedicated chemiluminescent imaging system, has been used since 2003 to help successfully study the role of proteins in cell division. Scientists in the Department of Biological Sciences at St John’s University in New York, are using a GeneGnome chemiluminescent imaging system to image Western blots of human phospholipase C proteins labelled with ECL to determine their role in regulation of cell division processes. The researchers are hoping that this academic study will elucidate some of the mechanisms of mitosis and could lead to a better understanding of why cells die through apoptosis or why they exhibit mutations that may lead to them becoming cancerous.
Professor Ales Vancura at St John’s University, said: “Researchers in two labs in our department have been using the GeneGnome regularly for six years to image Western blots. The system is helping us determine how changes in phospholipase C affect the regulation of proteins associated with chromatin structure, kinetochore activity, and chromosome segregation during mitosis.”
Professor Vancura added: “Everyone working with this imager has said it is simple to set up, as well as being highly sensitive and gives them the results they are looking for. We have only had to make one change to the system in all the time we’ve had the GeneGnome so when we need to purchase another, we’ll definitely buy from Syngene.” Paula Maia, Vice President of Sales, Syngene US, concluded: “We are delighted to hear that scientists at St John’s University have been working successfully with the GeneGnome for so long. Their continued confidence in the system shows cost-conscious academic laboratories that if they want a dedicated chemiluminescence imaging system, which is both reliable and generates great results, a GeneGnome is still the one to have.”

Olympus has introduced the new DP21 digital microscopy camera for high-definition (HD) image capture. Suitable for use in life science and materials microscopy, this 2.11 megapixel stand alone camera allows easy observation, focusing and framing, while enabling the smooth display of real-time 1600x1200 (UXGA) images.
Furthermore, the intuitive handset enables all actions to be completed without the use of a PC.
The DP21 has the power to display HD UXGA images at a smooth 15 frames per second. This seamless display is also maintained throughout focus changes and rapid movement, even when imaging live samples. Coupled with the UXGA resolution, the 16.7 million colour reproduction capability ensures that even the minutest structural elements are clearly defined, whether they are in histopathology specimens or in steel.
The DP21 also provides excellent colour fidelity throughout the imaging process, ensuring that the recorded image is an exact representation of the actual sample.
With a convenient handset, the DP21 camera can be operated without a PC or any software. This facilitates the capture of images for immediate viewing and confirmation.
After capture, analyses of immunostained specimens or boundary length measurements for example, can be made and all data are logically stored.
With four USB ports and a LAN port, simple connection of a keyboard and mouse is facilitated, if required. Furthermore, all data can be saved automatically to a USB memory stick and connection to an external drive makes it possible to save large data files.
The incorporation of a LAN port also makes it possible to send all data directly to a server, ensuring that the DP21 is a highly versatile digital imaging camera.
