Start with the news release
BAC adds AAT affinity ligand to GE media range from
BAC Bio Affinity Company, which we summarised at the time by saying "BAC has extended its collaboration with GE Healthcare with the addition of a bioprocess affinity chromatography ligand to GE's range of custom-designed media.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release AnaSpec B-secretase enzyme targets Alzheimer's from
AnaSpec: "AnaSpec has launched the human recombinant B-secretase enzyme. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from AnaSpec
- take a look at Rat-renin assay suits high-throughput screening
which says: "AnaSpec has released a rat-renin-specific assay, the SensoLyte 520 Rat Renin Assay Kit. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Amsbio (formerly AMS Biotechnology), Zymolyase allows rapid lysis of yeast cells,
as well as Anaspec synthesises hydrocarbon-stapled peptides from AnaSpec,
and Otava offers compound libraries for screening from Otava.
