Our services cover the full life cycle of your instrument, ensuring that you maximise the return on your investment. Starting with proper installation and user training, we set a foundation for efficient life cycle management. In industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotech, our IQOQ services ensure compliance with regulatory standards, helping you stay audit-ready and maintaining precise, repeatable results. Regular preventive maintenance by our certified engineers keeps your equipment performing at its best, minimising the risk of downtime and project delays. In the event of a breakdown, our factory-trained engineers quickly restore functionality using OEM parts. Our Service Contracts offer flexible options that simplify planning and control costs.

Millennium Science offers Preventative Maintenance and Validation (PM&V) services under three distinct tiers to suit varying needs.

Stand-alone PM&V option is available as a non-contract, one-time service for customers seeking a single maintenance and validation service.

For ongoing support, we offer two levels of service contracts, available as single or multi-year agreements (1-3 years). The multi-year option provides a convenient “set and forget” benefit, where we handle all scheduling of PM&V visits, plus an additional discount for committing to multiple years.

Standard Service Contract includes an annual PM&V, a 10% discount on additional engineer time and spare parts, and priority support.

Comprehensive Service Contract covers the annual PM&V, with all other unplanned costs during the contract period being fully covered (FOC), ensuring fixed and predictable costs. This option also includes enhanced priority support.

On September 14th 2020, Millennium Science and Jomar Life Research united to form Australia and New Zealand’s premier life science supply business.

Millennium Science Pty Ltd, a leading supplier of biomedical research instrumentation, and Jomar Life Research, a major supplier of life science kits and reagents, will form a strategic alliance under common ownership to provide Australian and New Zealand researchers improved access to research technologies and supplies.

As of April 1st 2024, our company will only be trading under the Millennium Science name and ABN.

The success of high throughput screening (HTS) in finding decent starting points for drug discovery heavily largely depends on the quality of the compound library. MedChemExpress (MCE) can provide 200+ compound libraries which include Bioactive Screening Libraries, Diversity Compound Libraries, High Throughput Screening Libraries, Fragment Libraries and DNA Encoded compound Libraries (DEL). These libraries contain over 16 million available compounds. What’s more, each compound has validated bioactivity data and/or physicochemical properties. These compound libraries are useful professional tools for drug discovery and new indications research and can be used for HTS, high-content screening (HCS) and virtual screening (VS).

Maintaining the Agilent BioTek 406FX Washer Dispenser is easy due to the Ultrasonic Advantage feature which effectively cleans manifold tube build-up to prevent operational malfunctions.

The 406FX’s versatility and capabilities cater to a wide range of applications, from cell-based assays to ELISA, ELISpot, and Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) workflows.

InvivoGen introduces a new and improved Tet-on system, specifically designed for the controlled expression of cytotoxic proteins.

Conditional expression of proteins in mammalian cells is favoured over stable expression in a variety of basic and applied research areas, including functional genomics, gene therapy, biopharmaceutical protein production, and drug screening. Depending on experimental requirements, researchers can efficiently activate or suppress a gene of interest (GOI) at will, using different systems based on the E. coli Tn10-specified tetracycline-resistance operon.

InvivoGen offers such a system, named TiGer (Tetracycline-induced Gene expression or repression) system, which comprises two RepTor™ cell lines and two series of pTiGer plasmids (cloning and control vectors):

• RepTor™ cell lines: HEK293 and A549 cells constitutively expressing the tetracycline repressor protein (TetR)
• pTiGer-mcs plasmids:  Cloning of a gene of interest (GOI) downstream of a Tet-inducible promoter
• pTiGer-reporter plasmids: Tet-inducible expression of a reporter gene (controls)

The TiGer system has been specifically designed to allow the controlled expression of cytotoxic genes.

• Minimal GOI background expression without tetracycline
• Strong GOI expression with tetracycline

InvivoGen’s TiGer Tet-on system relies on the combined use of two plasmids; the first expressing an optimized TetR construct, and the second, pTiGer, a GOI under the control of an engineered tetracycline operator (tetO)-containing promoter. It features the strong composite CMV-EF1 promoter modified to integrate a tetracycline response element (TRE).

The TetR plasmid was stably transfected into the RepTor™ cell lines, to save you time and effort. Upon transfection of the RepTor™ cells with a pTiGer-GOI plasmid, TetR binds to TRE and blocks the transcription of the GOI [2]. Addition of doxycycline, a synthetic analogue of tetracycline, leads to the release of TetR from the tetO sequences, resulting in the derepression of the CMV-EF1-TRE promoter and transcription of the GOI.

The TiGer Tet-on system has been engineered to guarantee maximal repression of the GOI, ensuring minimal leakage of GOI expression in the absence of tetracycline/doxycycline, and strong GOI expression in the presence of the antibiotic. This key feature confers the TiGer Tet-on system with the advantage of working with cytotoxic genes (e.g. proteases, pore-forming proteins, gain-of-function variants).

InvivoGen’s TiGer Tet-on system is useful for, but not restricted to the following applications:

• Controlled expression of cytotoxic genes
• Fine-tuned expression of a GOI
• Screening of toxic protein inhibitors
