澳大利亞Fluorotechnics
Fluorotechnics公司是基于蛋白組學的研究熱點以及澳大利亞強大的蛋白組學研究平臺而發展起來的。其技術來源于Macquarie大學蛋白研究組,擁有熒光探針Epicocconone技術專利,目前主要研發高靈敏、高兼容性、高生物安全的蛋白熒光探針和檢測試劑盒。GE Healthcare、SIGMA ALDRICH和Active Motif公司相繼成為Fluorotechnics產品的國際代理商,使得其產品在蛋白研究領域的應用日益廣泛,成為蛋白組學研究的有力工具。
Fluorotechnics (ASX: FLS) develops and sells innovative consumables and small equipment that enable scientists to better measure biological processes using fluorescence. The company has established itself as an emerging leader in the supply of products which are environmentally friendly, safe to use and offer a unique solution and superior performance compared to existing products. These products are used globally by our customers in research, quality control and diagnostics.
Fluorotechnics business is built around a set of novel proprietary fluorescent stains that are obtained from a fungus. In particular the company has fluorescent dyes that become fluorescent only on the interaction with proteins yet leaves the protein unmodified for further downstream analysis. This technology has been the basis for a number of products used for protein and cellular analysis. The company has exquisitely sensitive and easy to use fluorescence-based protein gel stains (for 1 and 2D electrophoresis), kits for protein and peptide quantification, monitoring proteolysis and for imaging live cells in real time.
