Application of Laser-Doppler Vibrometers in Hearing and Biomechanics

Laser vibrometry is used for research and diagnostics on the inner and middle ear. Vibrometers have also been used for measuring vibration on artificial heart valves to analyze vibrations during medical laser ablation or bone drilling, investigate the mechanical properties of tendons, and detect the propagation of bone cracks.

Repeatable sample preparation through programmable heated mixers

Sample preparation may initially be assumed to be the most basic element of analytical processes in research laboratories. However, the accuracy of measurements achieved during analysis is heavily dependent on the quality of the sample preparation performed. If the substances analyzed do not accurately represent the original samples, the generation of meaningful data is undermined and the study findings are unreliable.

Genome Wide Comparison of Native and Cross-Linked Chromatin Immunoprecipitation using Chromatrap® Spin Column Technology

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is used to study the interactions between proteins and DNA. This process can be categorized into two methods – native (N-ChIP) and cross-linked (X-ChIP). Native chromatin prepared by enzymatic digestion is used by N-ChIP, which can be employed to study histone modifications and transcription factors that are tightly bound to DNA.
