Pressure BioSciences' PCT-HD system

Pressure BioSciences has commercially released its PCT-HD system, which combines its micro-Pestle consumable with an enhanced Barocycler NEP2320 instrument. "This combination enables faster, less cumbersome, and higher quality homogenization, extraction, and digestion of proteins," the firm said in a statement. The system was developed in collaboration with Ruedi Aebersold and Tiannan Guo, researchers with ETH Zurich's Institute of Molecular Systems Biology.

Pressure Bio noted that researchers will give talks at next week's US Human Proteomic Organization meeting on the advantages of using the PCT-HD System for biomarker discovery.
