Biocare Medical LLC Lung Multiplex IHC: Lung Adeno-2™ and Lung Squamous-2™ The Lung Multiplex IHC products are designed to differentiate between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung: critical in therapeutic decisions to use VEGF or EGFR inhibitors. Using Biocare’s simultaneous Multiplex IHC technology, the Lung Adeno-2™ (TTF–1 + Napsin A) and Lung Squamous–2™ (p63 + CK5) tests allow for the immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinomas vs. squamous cell carcinomas on a single patient slide.

Cargille Immersion Oil Type 37DF has been specially designed to give the proper optical values at 37 oC to give the sharpest image. In additiona Type 37DF like Type DF (used at 23 oC), has very low background fluorescence making it ideal for fluorescence microscopy at 37 oC. www.cargille.com Email: cargillelabs@aol.com (973) 239–6633 Helmer Inc New Scientific Series™ Undercounter Refrigerator Helmer completes Undercounter Refrigerator line with the New Scientific Series™ model.

Titin is a protein of the striated muscles with an extremely high molecular weight. The immunogenic region of titin is located on a 30kD protein fragment. Antibodies against this fragment presumably cross–react with the epitopes of the acetylcholine receptors making their measurement potentially useful in select indications. This new ELISA utilizes recombinant MGT30 peptide providing for the accurate and specific determination of titin antibodies. † For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
