Quickzyme Biosciences wishes you a happy and colorful……….Click here to see the greeting .

Quickzyme Biosciences will be represented at the Annual Meeting of the European Tissue Repair Society, 5-7 October 2011, Amsterdam. A poster will be presented on “Easy measurement of collagen in tissues”. Click here to get a PDF of the poster.

It often is difficult to choose the best suitable collagen assay for a specific application. QuickZyme therefore has published an application note on ‘which collagen assay can be used for what application’.

The QuickZyme total collagen assay protocol includes acid hydrolysis of collagen. Based on the customer feedback several improvements in the protocol have been included. The new protocol uses 95 ^oC hydrolysis and no longer requires a regulated 110 ^oC oven, thus further increasing the convenience of the QuickZyme total collagen assay.

QuickZyme BioSciences has added a new product to its range of matrix assays: a rapid assay kit for hydroxyproline.

This kit can be used to measure hydroxyproline which is specifically present in collagen. The assay kit can be applied for hydrolysates from tissue, tissue extracts, cell cultures etc., and is species independent. The kit is based on detection of hydroxyproline by a color reaction and has a rapid and simple protocol. The hydroxyproline assay kit complements the existing QuickZyme soluble collagen and total collagen kits.  Click here for more information

QuickZyme BioSciences expands its product range with a new rapid assay kit for Total Collagen. This kit brings analysis of total collagen within reach of any biochemistry/molecular biology lab since no special equipment is required. This kit can be used to measure all forms of collagen in samples like tissue, tissue extracts, cell cultures etc., and is species independent. The kit is based on detection of collagen specific hydroxy-proline by a color reaction and has a rapid and simple protocol. The Total Collagen kit complements the existing QuickZyme soluble collagen kit. Click here for more information

QuickZyme Biosciences introduces a new mouse MMP-2 Activity Assay Kit. This 96-well plate kit based on proprietary QuickZyme technology specifically measures mouse MMP-2. The active and latent form can be measured separately. This kit is a rapid and quantitative replacement for zymography. Click here for more information

QuickZyme Biosciences launched a Granzyme B Activity Assay Reagent Set as a first product in its new Reagent Set range. The Granzyme B Reagent Set provides the research community with a specific and sensitive immunocapture assay for measuring the activity of Granzyme B in biological samples.

The sets contain all critical materials for five 96-well plates to perform assays based on the QuickZyme technology in an economical format. Other Reagent Sets will be introduced in the future. Click here for more information

QuickZyme Biosciences launched a new human specific MMP-2 activity assay. The assay is a quantitative replacement for zymography. The sensitivity of the assay is 4 pg/ml. Click here for more information

Human MMP-9 activity in urine as measured by the QuickZyme MMP-9 activity assay was shown to be a strong independent prognostic marker of poor survival in bladder cancer.  Click here for more information
