Welcome Covaris!

We are pleased to announce that BST Scientific have been selected as Covaris’ appointed distributor for Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Covaris provides instruments and solutions to improve sample preparation in biological and chemical research.

The Covaris technology foundation is its proprietary and patented Adaptive Focused Acoustics™ (AFA) technology. The Covaris AFA technology enables numerous non-contact, isothermal processes to be developed, for use in a broad range of applications in both biology and chemistry, including Genomics, Proteomics, and Drug Discovery research. In many cases, the ability to impart both thermal and non-contact control of application processes could not be obtained prior to the development AFA technology. This gives Covaris truly unique competitive advantages, which translates into fast adaptation of Covaris technology by customers, as well as rapid business growth.

Their broad range of applications includes:

Genomics

• Controlled DNA shearing
• RNA Extraction

Proteomics

• Cell/tissue disruption for protein targets and biomarker extraction
• Protein digestion

Cell Biology

• Tissue Disruption
• Tissue Homogenization

Chemistry and Pharmaceutical

• Compound dissolution and resolution
• Compound formulation

Specialized Sample Preparation and more.

With the leverage of Covaris’ enabling technology, we hope to bring the best tools and solutions to you.

Event Update on our BSF Freezer Roadshow in February 2009

Welcome onboard, Glycosan Biosystems!

BST Scientific is distributing Glycosan Biosystems with effect from February 2009. Specializing in biocompatible, optimizable hydrogel matrices for general 3-D and stem cell culture, ExtracelTM and HyStemTM, Glycosan Biosystems provide a sophisticated range of biomolecules to meet the demanding needs of cell culture.

Glycosan BioSystems holds exclusive worldwide rights to a patent estate, which was licensed from the University of

Utah Research Foundation with broad claims to product chemical composition, method of crosslinking, method of preparation, and use of the synthetic extracellular matrix (sECM).

The exclusive sECM technology behind Glycosan’s Extracel™ product line makes several specific applications possible, including:

• in vitro three-dimensional cell culture
• in vitro and in vivo animal models to screen for drug efficacy, safety, and toxicology
• reagents for tissue and cell preservation
• personal-care products

Glycosan also holds a co-exclusive license for tissue engineering and cell-therapy applications of Extracel™.

Glycosan BioSystems manufactures ExtracelTM and HyStemTM lines of biocompatible, optimizable hydrogel matrices for general 3-D and stem cell culture. The foundation for both lines is thiol-modified hyaluronic acid which allows a variety of thiol-modified proteins, peptides, or small molecules to be easily crosslinked into the hydrogel. The Extracel line is specifically designed for general and 3-D cell culture. The HyStem line is designed for stem cell culture and transplantation, providing the bridge between cell culture and cell therapy.

Welcome onboard, Biomatrica!

We see the start of a strong partnership between Biomatrica and BST Scientific, by bringing innovative and advanced sample stabilization solutions to our customers.

Biomatrica® develops and offers innovative technologies for stabilizing biological materials at room temperature. Biomatrica's stabilization technology allows for storage of samples outside cold environments (4ºC, -20ºC, -80ºC and liquid nitrogen) while preserving sample integrity, thus greatly reducing costs and reliance on maintaining cold conditions during shipment and storage.

Biomatrica® has developed a novel core technology designed to prevent the degradation of complex samples, reagents and assays during transport, storage and processing, thus allowing scientists to:

• obtain more reproducible and reliable experimental results
• increase efficiency and confidence
• decrease time needed to obtain results

Their current products stabilize nucleic acids and prevent degradation without the need for cold storage:

• DNA SampleMatrix®
• RNAstable™
• CloneStable™ for bacterial DNA

Biomatrica also currently offers the following solutions to leverage and complement the stabilization product portfolio:

• PCRboost™, an enhancing reagent for end-point and reverse transcription-PCR.
• SampleWare® software, an easy-to-use, customizable laboratory management database to store and organize sample data.
• Biomatrica's products are expected to improve research within a broad scope of laboratories involved in life sciences research, healthcare diagnostics, drug development and forensics.

BST Scientific's BSF Freezer Programme Roadshow 2009 (12 & 13 Feb, 1-5pm)

Our booth will be located at Matrix, Basement 2, Biopolis, right opposite the BSC Counter.
Looking forward to meeting all of you!
