c�mplete Protease Inhibitor Tablets

Simplify your research with reliable products that “Keep it easy!”.Save time, expense, and handling steps while increasing convenience andminimizing stress.

“Keep it easy!” with c�mplete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Tablets andc�mplete Lysis kits.

� c�mplete convenience: Simply drop a tablet into your lysis buffer.

� c�mplete protection: Reliably inhibit protease activity in lysates from animal and plant cells or tissues, yeast, and bacteria.

� c�mplete flexibility: Choose tablets with or without EDTA,for volumes of 10 ml or 50 ml.

� c�mplete lysis: Use kits that combine simple, rapid lysis of bacteria,mammalian, or yeast cells with c�mplete Tablets in EASYpacks.

Staying at the cutting edge of life science research is difficult.Cell lysis and protease inhibition don’t have to be.

Keep it easy… Keep it Roche Applied Science.

Triggered Release from Plasmalogen Liposomes

The use of near-infrared sensitizers and the capacity of photolyzed plasmenylcholine liposomes

to undergo membrane fusion processes make photodynamic therapy with these liposome-

borne sensitizers an attractive adjunct to biochemical targeting methods.2

C18(Plasm)-18:1 PC

Now in stock

Avanti Number 852467

….these results indicate that both photodynamic and acid triggering can be used to increase

plasmalogen liposome permeability and suggest that these liposomes are potentially useful

for drug delivery applications.1
