Biotage Unveils New Fully Automated Microwave Peptide Synthesizer

Biotage® (STO: BIOT), introduced an innovative new synthesis platform for peptide researchers at the 2012 European Peptide Symposium in Athens, Greece.

Uppsala, Sweden, September 25, 2012 -- Biotage® (STO: BIOT), a leading global supplier of solutions and technology for analytical, medicinal and peptide chemistry, introduced an innovative new synthesis platform for peptide researchers at the 2012 European Peptide Symposium in Athens, Greece. The Biotage® Initiator+ Alstra is a fully automated, single channel, programmable microwave peptide synthesizer and is the latest addition to Biotage's growing family of peptide synthesis platforms.

The Initiator+ Alstra is an ideal tool for peptide chemists synthesizing peptides, peptoids, PNA and peptidomimetics, including extremely difficult modifications. The system's inherent flexibility for reagent set-up, makes it a highly effective platform for both small and large scale synthesis from 5 µmol to 2 mmol. With a working volume from as low as 0.6 mL, the Initiator+ Alstra is perfectly suited for small scale microwave peptide synthesis, especially when the use of expensive building blocks is required e.g. PNA. The system's robotic liquid handler and precise digital syringe pumps reduce reagent and solvent consumption, thus reducing cost and minimizing waste.

The Initiator+ Alstra is programmable via a large 10" touch screen with drag and drop functionality for optimizing pre-installed or user defined methods. A built-in wizard makes programming a synthesis sequence effortless and a calculation table, which is generated, provides the quantities of reagents required, allowing the user to very quickly go from an idea to execution.

"Initiator+ Alstra is an extremely simple to use work horse which fills an important gap in the toolbox of the Peptide researcher. Its state of the art interface, simplicity of operation, speed, size and price are all optimized to match the increasing demands which Peptide Chemists are under today", say's Dr. Amit Mehrotra, Peptide Product Manager at Biotage. "This product is the result of customer input and demands and we are very excited to now be putting it into their hands".

Second Annual Miss Pacific Beach Pageant Is About More Than Just Beauty

PB Millionaire's Event Focuses On Homeless Youth Project In San Diego.

San Diego, California, USA (September 25, 2012) -- The Second Annual Miss Pacific Beach Pageant, which will be held at PB Bar & Grill on Saturday September 29th, is expecting another big turnout. The brainchild of Jim Lawlor, locally known as the "PB Millionaire," was a huge success last year with a capacity turnout of over 400 people. In fact, the enthusiastic fans standing in line outside stretched around the block - some waiting for more than an hour to get in. (See video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ruv3JEaEK4)

The Grand Prize winner of the Miss Pacific Beach Pageant will receive $3,000, however, Lawlor plans to present a check beforehand for $3,000 to Photocharity, which helps the homeless youth here in San Diego. Jeffrey Sitcov, Chairman, will accept the check on behalf of his organization.

Lawlor is also the executive producer of the PB Reality Show which will be filming the behind-the-scenes action of the pageant. The show has been a tremendous success. Since the first episode was released last Spring, the show has gone viral - building up a cult-like following within the local community. In fact, the show's Facebook page has over 61,000 fans. (See Episode One here: http://youtu.be/CIJAIBrWYT4)

One of the duties of the newly crowned Miss Pacific Beach will be to promote Lawlor's various charitable causes. Her first order of business will be to attend the Photocharity walk on October 7th, only one week after the pageant.

Lawlor will be one of three judges that will choose the next Miss Pacific Beach. Contestants will be judged on three categories: a personal interview, a fashion show, and a bikini contest. "I think it's important to find someone that gets along well with all of our staff and represents us well throughout the community," said Lawlor.

The pageant begins at 8PM on Saturday, September 29th. PB Bar & Grill is located at 860 Garnet Avenue, San Diego, CA 92109.
