Miles Laboratories

It is estimated that the worldwide clinical chemistry diagnostics market is about 3 biUion. This amount includes an estimated 700 million in instmment sales, and 2.3 bUHon in sales of reagents and consumables. Some of the principal instmment manufacturers are Hitachi (Japan), Miles Laboratories/Technicon Instmments (United States), E. I. du Pont de Nemours (United States), Beckman Instmments (United States), Eastman Kodak (United States), Abbott Laboratories (United States), Olympus (Japan), Toshiba (Japan), Hoffmann-La Roche (Switzerland), and Ciba Corning Diagnostics (United States).

Compound (Miles Laboratories, Elkhart, IN), snap-frozen, and cut into sections for comparison with paraffin-embedded cell sections (3) FFPE Cell Blocks Six cell pellets were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin immediately after harvest, at room temperature for 6,12,24h, 3,7, and 30 days, respectively. For further comparison with the cell model system, recently collected sample of human breast cancer tissues were processed by OCT-embedding and snap-freezing the corresponding routine FFPE block that was obtained from the Norris Cancer Hospital and Research Institute at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine (USC). This tissue block was processed routinely (formalin-fixed 24h and processed by automatic equipment). 

For cryosectioning, tissue samples are quickly frozen with or without freezeembedding medium (e.g., Tissue Tek Miles Laboratories) and stored at 80°C until analysed. Optionally, aldehyde prefixation can also be used for tissue and organ probes before snap-freezing. Cutting of frozen tissue blocks is performed with a cryostat (a microtome mounted in a freezing cabinet). 

Small pieces of tissue (approx. 5 mm) are quickly frozen with or without freeze-embedding medium (e.g.,Tissue Tek Miles Laboratories) and stored at 80°C until analysed.

With the exception of Christian Hansen the industrial development of enzymes was very slow initially. J.Takamine began isolating bacterial amylases in the 1890 s in what later became known as Miles Laboratories (today a part of Genencor).

Con A, twice crystallized in saturated sodium chloride solution, was obtained from Miles Laboratories (Elkhart, Ind.). Fragmented sub-units were removed by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-100 (11). Solutions were made up in Dulbecco s phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4, and the concentration routinely determined by UV spectrophotemetric analysis based on (1 cm path) = 13.0. 

The authors wish to express their sincere gratitude to Miles Laboratories, Stroh Brewing Co., Nabisco Brands, Cutter Laboratories, Best Foods, General Mills, Inc., Warner Jenkinson, McCormick and Co., H. J. Heinz, and Lipton, Inc. for their generous support in helping many of the authors attend the symposium upon which this volume is based. 

The solutions were prepared at a concentration of 200mg/ml by dissolving sperm whale myoglobin (Miles Laboratories (PTY) Limited) in de-ionised water. The samples were electro-dialysed before measurement to reduce the ionic conductivity.
