Myelin Removal Beads: Premium Efficiency For Neural Cell Separations And Antibody Stainings
Miltenyi Biotec announces the worldwide and exclusive release of Myelin Removal Beads. Myelin is a specialized membrane which ensheathes and insulates axons in the peripheral and central nervous system. During preparation of single-cell suspensions, myelin membrane fragments represent the major contaminant. "When dissociating adult neural tissue, usually less than 5 percent of the cell suspension consists of cells. The rest corresponds to cell debris", explains Dr. Rebecca Biloune, Product Manager for Neural Research Products at Miltenyi Biotec.

Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Welcomes New Health Portfolio

The announcement of the establishment of a new Indigenous Health, Rural and Regional Health and Regional Services Delivery portfolio has been welcomed by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. President of the PSA, Warwick Plunkett, said the establishment of the new portfolio was recognition of the unique and challenging issues faced by indigenous health consumers as well as those living in non-urban areas of Australia. "Often people living in rural, regional and remote areas of Australia face enormous difficulties when it comes to their health-care needs," Mr Plunkett said. "In addition, indigenous health has its own unique challenges which the establishment of this portfolio will go a long way towards addressing. "The PSA, as the organisation that represents the professional interests of pharmacists across the nation, is well aware of these difficulties and has long advocated policies and programs to help address them. "The establishment the Indigenous Health, Rural and Regional Health and Regional Services Delivery portfolio gives the Government and health-care professionals in Australia a vehicle from which to work to improve the health needs and outcomes of indigenous Australians and those living in non-urban areas." Mr Plunkett said the appointment of Mr Warren Snowdon as Minister for Indigenous Health, Rural and Regional Health and Regional Services Delivery underscored the importance of the portfolio. "Mr Snowdon is a widely experienced politician and as a member for a rural area has first-hand knowledge and experience of some of the issues and difficulties faced by consumers in these areas," Mr Plunkett said. "On behalf of the PSA, I congratulate Mr Snowdon on his appointment and look forward to working closely with him and his new department to help achieve the outcomes that people in these areas so demonstrably need."
