We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Biological Samples",
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 Reagents will help improve proteomics research from
Applied Biosystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Applied Biosystems announces an expansion of its line of labelling chemistry reagents used for proteomics research in academic and biopharmaceutical laboratories".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Biological sample concentration productivity boost from
Genevac: "With its high displacement pump the Mivac Quattro will typically remove water up to 40% faster than traditional concentrators and is extremely quiet when in use".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Bio-Rad Laboratories
concerning its ProteoMiner
- take a look at Uncover low-abundance proteins in complex samples
which says: "ProteoMiner protein enrichment kits employ a novel bead-based technology, using combinatorial peptide ligands to simultaneously dilute high-abundance proteins and concentrate low-abundance proteins".
Take a look also at the news release from Camlab, Grant to develop innovative tamper-proof closure,
as well as Labels must be durable or samples lost from Brady Lab,
and Reduction of matrix effects in LC-MS/MS from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Mass Spectrometry).
