Complemented by innovative applications for neurotransmitter analysis, ESA HPLC systems exceed the performance requirements of even the most sophisticated neurochemistry laboratories
ESA Biosciences has announced the opening of a European Centre for Neuroscience in Milan, Italy.
Offering expert training and applications support in analytical techniques for measurement of key neurotransmitters and modulators such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, GABA, and acetylcholine from in vivo samples - the new centre will assist neuroscientists in studying the effects of disease or drugs on central neurotransmission.
"ESA is a well-known name in neuroscience," said ESA Biosciences European general manager, Eddie Goodall.
"Some of the most-important discoveries in neuroscience have been made with ESA electrochemical-detection systems.
"As researchers continue to look for greater temporal and spatial resolution with lower-volume, more-dilute samples, the ability to measure multiple analytes and receptor types simultaneously provides a distinct advantage.
"ESA makes it easy to quantitate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin simultaneously in a single sample so researchers can glean the most information about multiple pathways in a single analysis.
"Equipped with all the latest ESA instrumentation, and staffed by experts with tens of years of experience, the new centre promises to be a valuable new resource to the European neuroscience community".
For neurotransmitter analysis, ESA's HPLC systems offer the most advanced capabilities in terms of sensitivity, flexibility, and robustness available today in an analytical system.
Backed by expert support and complemented by innovative applications for neurotransmitter analysis, ESA HPLC systems exceed the performance requirements of even the most sophisticated neurochemistry laboratories.
For in vivo voltammetry, the BioStat multimode potentiostat enables real-time, in vivo measurement of nitric oxide, while the EI-400 is the benchmark for fast cyclic voltammetry.
For neurolipid analysis, the award-winning Corona Cad lets researchers quantitate lipids using HPLC without the cost and complexity of MS.
