Fluidigm has announced its Summer 2011 eNewsletter - an informative publication dedicated to providing an insight into the latest innovations in integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) technology and topical applications development which will be of interest to researchers involved with gene expression, SNP genotyping and sample preparation for next generation sequencing.
In the Summer 2011 issue, researchers from the National Cancer Centre, Singapore, KK Women's & Children's Hospital, and the Singapore General Hospital report upon their evaluation of nanofluidics technology using DNA extracted from peripheral blood and buccal wash samples for high-throughput SNP Genotyping in a clinical setting.
Another independent paper presented in the newsletter discusses how single-cell gene expression profiling reveals qualitatively distinct CD8 T cells elicited by different gene-based vaccines. The paper describes how researchers at the National Cancer Institute, Rockville, MD, USA gained an understanding of the mechanism of protective immunity mediated by CDS T cells, how the process is dependent upon the definition of heterogeneity, and also how immune responses are generated by different vaccines.
An abstract of a new poster from Fluidigm in conjunction with BD Biosciences describes a protocol where flow cytometry is paired with gene expression analysis to discriminate variation in phenotype and gene expression at the single-cell level and discusses how they may be pivotal in the differentiation of stem cells.
Complimenting the poster and independent customer research publications, the Summer 2011 newsletter also provides an introduction to Fluidigm's new assays for gene expression, genotyping and and target-specific primers for targeted resequencing as well as a new 192.24 Dynamic Array™ Integrated Fluidic Circuit (IFC) for high sample throughput SNP genotyping.
The Summer 2011 edition of the Fluidigm Corporation Community Newsletter is now available free to download from www.fluidigm.com/home/fluidigm/email/Q2_2011.html
This blog has been set up for editors, reviewers, authors and readers of Elsevier's Analytical Chemistry Journals - all of which can be seen below. It will be updated from Monday to Friday with general news and announcements concerning the titles listed on this page. It should be noted that the views or claims made in the news items and feeds are not necessarily those of the Publisher.
