We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Assay Kits",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release AnaSpec's new brochure covers Fret technology from
AnaSpec, which we summarised at the time by saying "AnaSpec has developed a broad portfolio of products based on fluorescence energy transfer (Fret) technology, most notably the SensoLyte line of high-performance assay kits".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release High throughput angiogenesis in 96 well format from
TCS Cellworks: "As the first microplate-based totally human cell co-culture model of angiogenesis, the AngioKit range perfectly mimics all stages of the human angiogenic process says TCS Cellworks".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Invitrogen
concerning its Division-arrested cell lines
- take a look at 60 new division-arrested cell lines
which says: "Generated through a proprietary treatment of dividing cells, division arrested cells do not require lengthy and laborious cell culture procedures to prepare live cells for screening assays".
Take a look also at the news release from AnaSpec, First protease assay kits for West Nile Virus,
as well as Kits for T cell receptor clonality analysis from Wisbiomed,
and Name change: AnaSpec's EnzoLyte is now SensoLyte from AnaSpec.
