PerSeptive Biosystems Introduces New Automated Device To Enhance Biomolecular Purification By Liquid Chromatography.BOSTON, Mass.--July 10, 1995--(HealthWire)--PerSeptive Biosystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: PBIO PBIO Processor Backplane I/O (NASA) PBIO Portable Binary Input Output ) today announced the introduction of the SCOUT(TM) Column Selector, an automated multi-column switching device for use with the Company's BioCAD(TM) and BioCAD/SPRINT(TM) Perfusion perfusion /per·fu·sion/ (-zhun) 1. the act of pouring over or through, especially the passage of a fluid through the vessels of a specific organ. 2. a liquid poured over or through an organ or tissue. Chromatography(R) Systems in the purification of biomolecules This page aims to list articles on Wikipedia that describe particular biomolecules or types of biomolecules. This list is not necessarily complete or up to date - if you see an article that should be here but isn't (or one that shouldn't be here but is), please update the page in life science research. The SCOUT, introduced here at the annual meeting of the American Protein Society, extends the purification capability of the Company's patented Perfusion Chromatography technology by automating and accelerating the screening of multiple surface chemistries to determine the optimal separation conditions for specific biomolecules. Perfusion Chromatography allows protein, peptide, and polynucleotide polynucleotide /poly·nu·cleo·tide/ (-noo´kle-o-tid) any polymer of mononucleotides. pol·y·nu·cle·o·tide n. separations to be routinely performed at 10 to 100 times the speed of conventional chromatography, without sacrificing resolution or capacity. PerSeptive Biosystems offers 25 different surface chemistries of its POROS(R) Perfusion Chromatography media to give the researcher greater flexibility for media selection and optimization. "The addition of SCOUT to our product portfolio gives life science researchers another tool to fully explore all the chemical variables affecting their biomolecular purification challenges," said Don Yakita, Marketing Manager for PerSeptive. "SCOUT will offer a new level of flexibility for both the development of systematic purification methods and routine separation experiments utilizing our BioCAD Perfusion Chromatography systems." SCOUT is a fully integrated software-driven device utilizing the Windows(R)-based programming environment of the BioCAD or BioCAD/SPRINT. It is available as an option on all new BioCAD systems, or as an upgrade to the more than 500 systems already on the market. PerSeptive intends to have units available for shipment in mid August at a list price of $6,000. "The addition of SCOUT to our BioCAD workstations will allow researchers in the life sciences laboratory to increase productivity and expedite drug discovery through the use of liquid chromatography," said Noubar B. Afeyan, Ph.D., President of PerSeptive. "We are pleased that this new device will provide added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added.
