Bio-Techne showcases innovative cancer research, cell therapy, and manufacturing tools at the AACR 2023 conference.

Providing the fastest and simplest solution for single-cell sorting and isolation.

By combining innovative microfluidics technology with flow cytometry and liquid dispensing, this benchtop device sorts and dispenses single cells into 96 or 384 well plates in just a few minutes. The low pressure during sorting (< 2 psi) ensures minimal stress, maintaining cell viability and integrity. The unique cell cartridge eliminates sample carryover and guarantees sterility, allowing for faster and easier dispensing of multiple samples or cell types. The single-cell dispenser is ideal for a wide range of single-cell applications, enabling rapid and gentle plating of cells to improve proliferation while performing cloning, generating high-yield single-cell genomics libraries, or gently bulk-sorting target cells to quickly isolate rare cells at less than 0.1%, recovering single cells from precious samples of just 100 cells.

Latest protein expression analysis device

Milo is a cutting-edge device that can analyze protein expression at the single-cell level. It can identify subpopulations of cells that cannot be observed with traditional Western blotting. In other words, it allows for the study of specific cell types within heterogeneous samples. Milo performs single-cell Westerns (scWesterns) on over 1,000 cells in a single measurement. In a significantly shorter time than traditional Western blotting, it provides expression information for up to four types of proteins from a single cell, enabling the analysis of characteristic behaviors, expressions, and variations within small populations of cells in the sample.

Transformation of Multiplex Assays Simplex

Simpleplex Ella is a fully automated multi-analyte immunoassay system. Although it is multi-analyte, it is not multiplexed. The reaction cells corresponding to the wells are independent (singleplex), making it an evolved ELISA with no cross-reactivity. It will be an ideal platform for biomarker measurement in clinical development or treatment of cancer immunotherapy and CAR-T cell therapy.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

In the field of collaborative robots, there is a demand for reduced startup labor, energy efficiency, and safe yet flexible handling performance. In particular, reliance on compressed air systems and complex wiring and piping can pose challenges during installation and operation. Piab's "piCOBOT Electric for ABB GoFa" is a plug-and-play electric vacuum gripper solution optimized specifically for ABB GoFa. Its all-electric design generates vacuum using only electricity, eliminating the need for compressed air. This enables the creation of a clean, quiet, and energy-efficient collaborative robot cell. Furthermore, by adopting ABB GoFa-specific software plugins, designated cables, and standard ISO machine interfaces, smooth integration into the ABB control environment is possible. This supports rapid startup and stable operation. Read the article here: https://www.piab.com/ja-jp/news/piab-launches-picobot-electric-for-abb-gofa

We have added the DL material "Explained in Manga! Let's Prevent Technical Information Leakage to the Outside with CrackProof Software Protection!" to the DNP Hypertech site. In the manufacturing industry, there is a growing awareness of measures against the leakage of technical information. Many companies seem to have already established sufficient rules and measures for information protection when exchanging data with external parties. However, when it comes to cases where in-house software suffers from cracking (unauthorized analysis and tampering) and information leaks occur, the current measures are still not adequate. We have explained the measures against technical information leakage through software protection in an easy-to-understand manga format. Please take a look.
