September 2016—Horizon Discovery Group and the Wistar Institute announced that Horizon has taken an exclusive license to 153 of Wistar’s melanoma patient-derived xenograft models. Horizon’s distribution of the Wistar melanoma PDX collection will allow scientists worldwide to investigate the efficacy and safety of its drugs prior to trials in human populations.
September 2016—Mopec introduced its Autopsy Saw 5000, which weighs less than three pounds and oscillates at 13,200 cycles per minute. Placement of the motor in the head and handle of the unit provides a balanced weight, resulting in a more precise cut with less operator fatigue, according to a company statement.
September 2016—Immuno Concepts announced that its Image Navigator automated microscope received 510(k) clearance. Image Navigator is a software program that controls a high-quality LED fluorescent microscope with a motorized stage to simplify and organize indirect fluorescent antibody testing.
September 2016—The CellAsic Onix2 Microfluidic System for live cell imaging aims to give researchers precise environmental control over live cells. The small control system fits next to the microscope and the low-profile manifold and plate sit on top of the microscope stage, delivering precise control of gas, temperature, media changes, and more.
September 2016—Qiagen launched a liquid biopsy workflow for clinical cancer research using its GeneReader NGS System for next-generation sequencing.
