ImmunoBooster (Rapid Immunoassays)
Bioworld Consulting Laboratories ImmunoBooster buffers (Patent Pending) reduces the time of traditional Immunoassays from hours to minutes. Separate buffer is available and optimized for ELISA, Western Blott, Immunostaining and Immunoprecipitation.
Generally each of these assays can be processed in 20 minutes or less. The protocol is very simple; just replace your old antibody or antigen diluent with the corresponding ImmunoBooster buffer and follow the incubation times (5 or 10 minutes).
Works with mouse, rabbit, human and other antibodies. Works with antibodies labeled with any type of enzyme or fluorescence tag. It also works with protein A or G and with avidin-biotin system.

HHV-6 control slides (VirArray) for immunohistochemistry and insitu hybridization has been released
Bioworld Consulting Laboratories VirArray™ HHV-6 Control Cell Slides consist of control cell lines embedded in a paraffin block and mounted on to slides. The cell lines are paraffin-embedded after controlled fixation in buffered formalin for 24 hours. The control slide for HHV-6 analysis contains 2 cell cores in quadruplicate: a negative control cell line, and HHV-6 positive cell line containing viral genome under going replication and expressing viral early and late antigens. The HHV-6 infected cells are pooled from infected cells at various stages of viral replication therefore presenting viral antigens associated with early and late phases of the viral cycle.
The small surface area of the control slide is advantageous as it allows side-by-side analysis of the sample tissue specimen. Simply mount your tissue sample of interest directly on the control slide for side-by-side analysis. When stained together, this system provides an “On-Slide-Control-Staining”, which enables you to archive the stained control together with the investigated sample, proving, even after years, the reliability of your staining. The system is suitable for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) or In Situ Hybridization (ISH) applications.
RAND (Rapid in situ Nucleic acid Detection) kit
A kit for in situ detection of viral DNA will be released in December 2009. The kit allows in situ detection of viral sequences in cells or tissues in less than 1 hour. It can detect single viral genome using fluorescence label or it can be converted to colorimetric substrate for detection by light microscopy. RAND can also be used to concurrently detect up to three viral genomes or DNA markers in the same cell or tissue.
The kit can be also used to replace metaphase FISH (Fluorescence In situ Hybridization) for rapid detection of integrated viral genomes on metaphase chromosomes.
