PerkinElmer to showcase new products at SLAS 2013

PerkinElmer will be attending the forthcoming Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) 2013 conference, where it will present a variety of its newest products.

The life science company will attend the Orlando event to demonstrate a range of enhanced tools and expanded epigenetic kits with various applications in the fields of drug development and research.

Offerings will include an expanded Epigenetic Biochemical Toolbox with more than 40 validated enzymatic assays for the detection of post-translational modifications of histones and the automated Janus NGS Express liquid handling workstation.

It will also showcase its Sciclone NGSx Workstation platform for high-throughput next generation sequencing workflows and a full sequencing portfolio.

Kevin Hrusovsky, president for life sciences and technology at PerkinElmer, said: "We are excited to participate in this significant industry event and bolster our commitment to our customers with new and transformational innovations that will help them to advance the prevention, detection and treatment of disease."

Last month, the company launched a new range of assay kits utilising AlphaLISA technology, for use in safety testing, manufacturing and quality control of biotherapeutic drugs.
