ACCURATETM ACCURATETM is designed for the assessment of drug candidates' metabolic properties. ACCURATETM determines the rate of substrate turnover by tracking the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during cytochrome P450 catalysis. ROS provide a measurable signal in proportion to the cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation of the candidate compounds. Sold by Qualyst, a UNC startup. www.qualyst.com |
AMP21TM Applied Micro Products, a UNC startup, completed their first commercial installation of AMP21 in 2008. AMP21 is a natural carbon source encased in a time release delivery system. As the delivery system biodegrades, the carbon source is released. Carbon source amendment accelerates oxygen depletion in wet conditions and encourages the growth of bacteria. These two effects limit the growth of wood decay fungi and create soil conditions unfavorable for decay. The result is an easy to apply product that extends the lifetime of wooden structures such as utility poles with no environmental liability from harmful or toxic chemical residues.

HypoxyprobeTMHypoxyprobeTM-1 Kits contain reagents for the immunohistochemical analysis of hypoxia in normal and malignant tissue while CCI-103F can be used for the non-invasive 19F MRS analysis of tissue hypoxia. See Hypoxyprobe.com for further details. www.hypoxyprobe.com |
InVisionTM System InnerOptic's innovative InVisionTM System provides a computer-enhanced interface that improves a surgeon's ability to accurately perform complex MIS procedures. The InnerOptic InVision System (IVS) provides the surgeon with a single integrated, intuitive interface in real time on a single monitor. IVS enhances two common abdominal interventions, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy and liver tumor ablation. While existing pre-operative imaging solutions (e.g. CT or MRI) provide MIS guidance, IVS is the only product today that provides advanced, intuitive real-time image guidance for abdominal interventions. InnerOptic is a UNC startup.
