About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Bruker Enables High-Throughput Multiplex HTS on Sierra SPR Platform

By: via Business Wire

Sierra Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Pro Series for High-Throughput Screening (HTS)

  • Innovative Sierra SPR-32 Pro allowing multiplex HTS for insights into kinetics with no compromise in sensitivity and nature of samples
  • SPR insights into molecular interactions by label-free HTS in support of drug discovery

At the SLAS2022 International Conference and Exhibition, Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) is announcing a multiplexed assay taking high-throughput screening with SPR to the next level. The innovative microfluidic system of the Bruker Sierra SPR-32 Pro provides a unique 8x4 array for parallel readout of 32 measurement sensor spots per injection at exceptional robustness. This configuration offers high throughput while maintaining flexibility for the development of both, biologics and small molecule drug candidates, e.g., for testing one antigen against 31 antibodies, to 8 small molecules against 3 target proteins with a single reference per channel.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220207005150/en/

The Bruker Sierra SPR-32 Pro offers throughput-optimized assay set-ups for the development of both biologics and small molecule drug candidates. Single analytes like an antigen can be simultaneously tested against up to 31 capture antibodies (A). The same platform also allows to test up to 8 analytes against one to three targets with a single experiment (B). The latter set-up coupled with automation provides industry-leading throughput for SPR. (Graphic: Business Wire)

Bruker impressively demonstrated the multiplexing capabilities of the Sierra SPR-32 Pro platform with a selectivity assay, typical for lead development stages, and a screening assay against a set of carbonic anhydrases, a protein family with a high degree of similarity. These challenging examples typically require tedious repetitions of the same assay for each target protein, slowing down the drug development process. The multiplexing capabilities of the Sierra SPR-32 Pro reduces measurement time by up to threefold. Bruker’s highly sensitive SPR detection enables measurements at high molecular weight differences between analyte and target of 10-3, supporting even fragment-based drug design.

Moreover, Bruker has developed automated 24/7 SPR plate-handling operation, or by its automation interface for SPR integration in HTS, which works with common scheduling software from various vendors. Bruker’s SPR software features seamless transfer of data and results to downstream analysis software, e.g., to Genedata Screener®.

A collaboration between Novartis Institute of Biomedical Research (Basel, CH), Genedata (Basel, CH) and Bruker is described in the application note ‘Tackling Challenging Targets with High-Throughput Biophysical Screening at Novartis’. With a total experimental time of 5 days, more than 10,000 compounds were characterized against one target protein and two of its disease relevant mutants. The seamless data transfer from Bruker’s SPR software to Genedata Screener® reduced data analysis to 2.5 hours.

Dr. Christine Genick, Lab Head of the Protein Sciences Group at the Novartis Institute of Biomedical Research in Basel, stated: “This was a truly collaborative effort, in which Genedata and Bruker really stepped up and enabled us to push the limits of SPR. By setting up robust automation and a comprehensive processing pipeline, we were able to screen and analyze our data with lightning speed.”

Dr. Meike Hamester, Bruker Director of BioPharma Label-free Technologies, summarized: “The Bruker SPR systems provide indispensable, information-rich data for the lead development processes at highest throughput and data quality, enabled by our parallel readout, a unique high sensitivity SPR detections system, all combined with state-of-the-art automation.”
