33 Clinical, Medical & Diagnostic Products Rapid Detection of Gram Negative Bacteria


Gram negative bacteria can cause a number of disease conditions including urinary tract infections, food-borne infections, typhoid fever and sepsis. Many of these bacteria can be detected by culture. However this method is labour intensive and slow. Rapid diagnosis is crucial for correctly treating these infections quickly.


ViroStat has just released a pair of Monoclonal Antibodies that detect the LPS common to many of these bacteria including E. coli, Salmonellae and Shigella among others. These antibodies are useful tools for rapid, non-culture based immunoassays including ELISA and lateral flow to directly detect these bacteria.

Integra Biosciences has developed the WELLJET family of dispensers to reduce running costs, increase productivity and provide longer walk- away times for bulk microplate fi lling and reagent dispensing. Available with or without an automated plate stacker, the WELLJET uses the innovative EasySnap™ dispensing cassette to provide accurate and precise hands-free fi lling of plates ranging from six to 1536 wells - as well as deep well plates and tube racks in plate format - for a wide range of applications.


The WELLJET’s unique, low cost EasySnap dispensing cassette (patent pending) is a breakthrough for accurate and reliable bulk reagent dispensing. Each cassette features precisely moulded silicone tubing at the interface with the peristaltic pump unit, minimising channel- to-channel variations and therefore eliminating the need for time consuming cassette calibration. In addition, the ergonomic and robust design of the cassette ensures straightforward installation and removal without worrying about breaking components or making mistakes. Available in three sterile models - small bore 8 and 16 channel, and large bore 8 channel - these cassettes provide accurate and precise dispensing over a broad volume range of 0.5 μl to 10 ml.


The WELLJET dispenser and WELLJET dispenser stacker both feature ultracompact designs to save valuable bench space or fi t inside a laminar fl ow cabinet. These dispensers enable a vast number of applications, from cell-based, kinetic and screening assays to ELISAs and genomic or proteomic analyses. Both systems offer quick and effi cient set-up of dispensing protocols via a large, high resolution touchscreen and intuitive user interface. The WELLJET dispenser stacker also provides hands-free processing of plates, with front-loading towers for up to 25 or 50 plates to increase throughput and extend walk- away times.


The innovative WELLJET family of dispensers and EasySnap cassettes will transform the way labs dispense liquids and reagents for daily research activities. Visit the Integra Biosciences website to learn more, and to request a demo or quote.
