Alphatec FNo gives grain receivers a safe and modern way to perform the standard falling number test for sprouting damage in grain and enzyme activity in flour. Exploiting technology developments, it offers a new alternative for performing the standard method from FOSS, the maker of the renowned Infratec 1241 Grain Analyzer.

  • Insulated sample bath reduces risks of inadvertent burns

  • Cooling lid minimises rush of steam when loading samples, helping avoid potential injury

  • Touch screen interface allows for fast and easy use by anyone

One of the most exciting potential applications of circulating non-coding RNAs like microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is as biomarkers for early detection of cancer. Easily accessible markers like RNAs in the blood are an attractive possibility for finding cancers as soon as possible. Our scientists have compiled an application note showing how to use qPCR in translational research to identify potential lncRNA biomarkers in lung cancer. Check it out here!
