TAKE Solution launches Submit SPL software

Chennai-based TAKE Solution recently launched Submit SPL software. The software helps biopharmaceutical companies to easily manage XML data conversion to be compliant with the Structured Product Labeling (SPL) standard of the US FDA. TAKE's robust submit solution quickly converts the product information from any traditional format to the SPL standard-based XML format (used for submission) and also to PDF format for printing and viewing.

The Submit SPL software also helps pharmaceutical companies mitigate the several potential risks associated with non-compliance of FDA regulations. The software's advanced publishing features and reusable components of product information make it possible to automatically publish package inserts, prescribing information, labels, product web sites and promotional material.

The Submit SPL introduces efficiency in all elements of the data processing activity such as authoring, reviewing, approval, and publishing, and enhances the productivity of the authors and eliminates errors. Additionally, with Submit SPL, users are already ready to meet the future regulatory standards such as Product Information Management, which is being developed by EMEA.

GenomePlex Single Cell WGA Kit from Sigma-Aldrich

Sigma-Aldrich has launched GenomePlex Single Cell Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) Kit. The new GenomePlex Single Cell WGA Kit supports whole genome amplification from a single cell, resulting in a million-fold amplification yielding microgram quantities of genomic DNA. Providing researchers with a product to amplify genomic DNA from a single cell will help to advance cancer research, genetic profiling and preimplantation genetic diagnostics. The GenomePlex Single Cell WGA Kit will ease the concerns of limited patient source material and provide sufficient DNA for downstream studies. This kit is the latest addition to the GenomePlex whole genome amplification family of products.

The GenomePlex Single Cell WGA Kit can be used in numerous applications, and is suitable for use with a variety of cells, including fibroblast amniotic cells, renal cancer cells, plant, epithelial, leukemia, and polycarbonate fixed cells. After purification, amplified DNA can be analyzed in a manner similar to any genomic or chromosomal DNA sample. A number of downstream applications may be performed, including QPCR, STR analysis, SNP analysis, Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), micro arrays, and other genotyping analysis.
