Meridian launches high-fidelity polymerase to offer robust amplification
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 24 -- Meridian Bioscience Inc has launched a High-Specificity Pfu HS Mix that not only provides high-fidelity amplification, but also offers market-leading amplification for companion diagnostic and clinical testing.
High-fidelity amplification is essential for applications whose outcome depends upon the correct DNA sequence, such as next generation sequencing (NGS), cloning and genotyping.
However, results from such amplifications can be compromised by a DNA polymerase incapable of evenly amplifying diverse types of sequences or if samples contain inhibitors.
The Life Science Division of Meridian Bioscience has addressed these challenges by developing High-Specificity Pfu HS Mix as a high-fidelity amplification solution, with market leading properties in terms of inhibitor resistance, multiplexing and low GC bias.
It is a perfect tool for NGS technologies applied to the clinical market, especially in the field of genetic testing and cancer screening, i.e., the development of panels for tumour or mutation profiling.
Meridian is a fully integrated life science company that develops, manufactures, markets and distributes a broad range of innovative diagnostic products. More details at www.meridianbioscience.com

North China villager's vibrant drum beats underscore better life
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 21 -- As Chinese New Year draws near, drum beats sound louder at a village in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to The Publicity Department of the CPC Tongliao Municipal Committee.
According to a statement, local villager, Bai Haiquan who is one of the performers and a new member to the village yangko performing group, plays the drum hard and would practise after herding cattle.
He applied to be a drummer when the village decided to set up a yangko performance group. The village’s Spring Festival performance was staged on Xiao Nian, or the Preliminary Eve, about one week before the Chinese New Year.
Bai did not feel like drumming three years ago, when he was almost desperate about life. His wife was diagnosed with lupus nephritis, resulting in medical costs amounting to about 4,000 yuan (about US$584) to 5,000 yuan each month. (US$1 = RM4.08)
His family was in debt, forcing his son to drop out from high school to take care of the cattle. The family was near ruin when the local government lent a helping hand by qualifying the family as a poverty relief target.
With the local government's help, Bai obtained subsidised loans worth 30,000 yuan to breed cattle, and got another 15,000 yuan in subsidy. The whole family was included in the medical care insurance system, which covered most of his wife’s medical bills.
Currently, Bai owns 16 cattle, 32 mu (about 2.13 hectares) of corn, with each capable of producing 750kg of corn. He raked in 47,000 yuan in 2019 and expects more income this year.

BIOPAC announces new eye tracking glasses for academic research
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 -- BIOPAC Systems Inc, a premier choice for life science hardware and software, has announced a new eye tracking integration for researchers who conduct experiments from mobile participants in diverse locations.
The ETVision (EYE-ETV) eye tracking glasses now integrate with BIOPAC wireless systems and software, allowing researchers to collect and analyse real-world eye tracking data including from subjects in the lab, field and at work.
Mobile data logging allows physiology data to be collected in different field environments including places of work, vehicles, sports arenas and training centres, according to a statement.
Eye tracking data can now be synchronised with this physiology data and researchers can review the eye tracking video with the physiology data in AcqKnowledge data collection and analysis software.
Researchers will use the data to develop insights in ergonomics, product development, usability, user experience, group dynamics, performance development and training, among others.
The eye tracking glasses contain miniature eye cameras that view each eye, scene camera that views the scene in front of the participant, microphone and a controller. The glasses can be worn over prescription eyeglasses and are mobile and portable.
The glasses connect to the controller that wirelessly transmits data to the eye tracking software on a computer or collects data for up to five hours via an SD card that can collect data locally if WiFi is not available.

The ETVision (EYE-ETV) eye tracking glasses now integrate with BIOPAC wireless systems and software, allowing researchers to collect and analyse real-world eye tracking data including from subjects in the lab, field and at work.
Mobile data logging allows physiology data to be collected in different field environments including places of work, vehicles, sports arenas and training centres, according to a statement.
Eye tracking data can now be synchronised with this physiology data and researchers can review the eye tracking video with the physiology data in AcqKnowledge data collection and analysis software.
Researchers will use the data to develop insights in ergonomics, product development, usability, user experience, group dynamics, performance development and training, among others.
The eye tracking glasses contain miniature eye cameras that view each eye, scene camera that views the scene in front of the participant, microphone and a controller. The glasses can be worn over prescription eyeglasses and are mobile and portable.
The glasses connect to the controller that wirelessly transmits data to the eye tracking software on a computer or collects data for up to five hours via an SD card that can collect data locally if WiFi is not available.
