CETAC employees participate in Walk to End Alzheimer’s

Sept. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Employees of CETAC Technologies will join hundreds of walkers in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on September 30, 2012.  As part of its commitment to make a positive contribution to the community, CETAC encourages employees to participate in various local and national charities.

CETAC’s products make an important contribution to Alzheimer’s research. There is growing evidence that metals such as zinc may play a role in the development of Alzheimer’s. The LSX-213 G2 laser ablation system is used by scientists as they search for metals in the brain. CETAC and its partner Photon Machines, Inc., continue to make significant advances in laser ablation technology. The CETAC CEI-100 capillary electrophoresis interface is used in studies to measure metallothionein, a metal-binding protein which is a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. CETAC’s autosamplers improve the productivity of biochemical laboratories as they search for answers about Alzheimer’s disease.

The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s™ is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions.

CETAC Technologies is an established, fast-growing designer and manufacturer of analytical and scientific instruments. CETAC products and services are used in every industry where rapid and accurate measurements of trace elements are required. CETAC Technologies is based in Omaha, Nebraska.
