Company Profile
Formation of the Health Protection Agency in 2003 brought together four of the existing UK culture collections, NCTC, NCPV, NCPF and ECACC:

EUROPEAN COLLECTION OF CELL CULTURES (ECACC)
One of the world's premier collections of authenticated cell cultures, with over 40,000 cell lines representing 45 different species. Along with a new range of Early Passage Cells and associated media.

NATIONAL COLLECTION OF PATHOGENIC FUNGI (NCPF)
The UK's only culture collection specialising in fungi pathogenic to humans and animals. The NCPF holds about 2500 strains, most of which are available for sale and distribution.

NATIONAL COLLECTION OF PATHOGENIC VIRUSES (NCPV)
Preserves well-characterised, authenticated human pathogenic viruses in a secure facility, and supplies the agents or nucleic acids derived from them to the scientific community according to national and international guidelines.

NATIONAL COLLECTION OF TYPE CULTURES (NCTC)
Supplies reference bacterial cultures of medical, scientific and veterinary importance world-wide to support academic, health, food and veterinary institutions. The collection comprises over 5000 bacterial cultures, over 100 mycoplasmas and more than 500 plasmids, host strains, bacteriophages and transposons.

The collections also support a range of identification, characterisation and testing services. HPACC supplies its microorganisms, products and services to both academic and commercial customers worldwide.

CYTOGENETICS /PATHOLOGY

FISH Probes; Kreatech's Repeat Free Poseidon FISH kits, with an extensive range including Oncology, Prenatal and Postnatal probes. Complimentary equipment for automation of many steps in the process;

Thermobrite’s denaturation and hybridisation system allows programmable temperature controlled slide processing system for FISH.

Imaging; Ariol, Cytogenetic and Cytopathology Systems. Ariol is a high throughput automated image analysis system for the quantification of biomarkers on microscope slides in research, clinical, pharmaceutical, genomic and proteomic applications.

Cytovision; Leaders in the Cytogenetic Imaging field, provide an automated, high quality capture and ease of use analysis system for your Cytogenetic based work, including FISH, Karyotyping, metaphase finding, SPOT counting, MFISH and CGH for human, animal and plant work


MICROARRAYS

Custom oligo microarrays; Offering you the ultimate flexibility for ANY Sequence, ANY Genome, stripping and re-use of the chips company supported up to 3 X

CatalogArrays; Providing a large range of almost 50 immediately available arrays.

ULS Labelling; A versatile non-enzymatic chemical labelling offering speed, controllability and ease of use to the end user

ULS Protein Labelling; Provides you with an easy way to label your antibodies

Tissue Microarrays; A full range of Catalogue & Custom TMA services, offering an affordable and diverse range of both normal and malignant tissue section with unrivaled QC and associated pathological data

Custom array synthesizer enables you to manufacture commercial grade custom content microarrays to your exact specification with complete control over the content

MicroRNA’s - enable regulation of complex biological pathways, they have received significant attention with respect to their role in cancer, disease, and stem cell differentiation. We offer a wide range of miRNA Arrays, available for numerous species, validated from the current Sanger database, with speedy 30 day turnaround time. Antisense controls and every probe on the chip QC tested’’’’

Electrasense’s platform is an affordable, user friendly and reliable microarray reader that electrochemically measures thousands of probes in less than one minute

Confocal Fluorescent Scanners; High Resolution Rapid Scanners available in two resolution options and with the option of a slide loader for both instruments. Scanning at a pixel size from 1µm, the Innoscan 900 is one of the highest resolution scanners currently available. Real time auto focusing ensure optimum image quality


Software;
ImaGene 8.0, giving you the leading software tools to process and visualise your microarray data.

Nexus Copy Number software, powerful platform independent software to process and identify copy number changes from numerous arrays. Identifying (common) regions of significance within the data set, then relating biological information, and linking through to the web to allow scientists’ to quickly mine their data.



TISSUE PROCESSING

Tissue Homogenisation; The Precellys 24 offers a perfect bench top solution for biological sample preparation to extract nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) and protein.

Also available with a Cryolys upgrade to provide optimal chilled temperature controlled homogenization which can protect sensitive molecules from degradation and prevent enzymes from becoming active.
