The Paterson Institute for Cancer Research at Manchester University in the UK is using Lablogic's Laura 4 software to control all the components of its radiochromatography facility.
Dr David R Jones, an associate scientist in the Institute's Inositide Laboratory, has a Shimadzu HPLC system and Lablogic's Betaram 4 radio detector for the study of phosphoinositides, a range of phospholipids that regulate many cellular processes.
He is investigating how phosphoinositide levels are regulated using metabolically radiolabelled mammalian cells.
The use of Lablogic's Betaram 4 radio detector (in Cerenekov counting mode) means that manual fraction collecting followed by static counting is avoided.
'We find Laura 4 a convenient way to control the Betaram and all the Shimadzu HPLC modules in a single window, and its sample analysis software makes it easy to collect and process data,' said Jones.
