Beaverton, OR, June 23, 2005 – http://www.pacificsecuritycapital.com – Pacific Security Capital (“PSC”), a leading commercial real estate investment bank, headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, provides strategic insight into the considerations surrounding foreign commercial real estate investments of U.S. real estate assets
Commercial real estate in the United States has historically been recognized as a favored asset class that has yielded steady appreciation without the fluctuations that are characteristically present in competing asset classes. This, in turn, has long made commercial real estate an attractive investment to foreign investors. The political and economic stability of the U.S., the absence or threat of government appropriation or nationalization, and the recognition of the historical strength of the US Dollar have no doubt also been contributing factors to the lure of foreign investors.
Having years of commercial real estate lending experience, Mike Myatt, the Executive Managing Director of commercial real estate investment bank Pacific Security Capital, provides insight that “given the attractive market characteristics described above, there has been a tendency for foreign investors to allow the sense of urgency surrounding the placement of funds. Thus, the desire to maintain competitive yields to drive their entry in to US commercial real estate markets.”

New Minco 384-Hole Heater Responds to Industry Move to 384-Hole Microplate - New Proprietary Non-Mechanical Routing Technology Tackles Uniform Heating Challenge
Minco today announced the release of a breakthrough 384-hole heater, which provides critical temperature uniformity across a 384 well Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) sample block.
New York, NY, June 13, 2005 – MD&M East - Minco, (www.minco.com/384) a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical medical applications, today announced the release of a breakthrough 384-hole heater, which provides critical temperature uniformity across a 384 well Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) sample block.
“As thermal cycling machinery in the IVD market rapidly moves from a 96-hole to a 384-hole microplate, steal rule dies are becoming less effective for the development of smaller heating components,” said Brian Williams, Minco Marketing Manager. “Minco engineers recognized that alternate routing techniques, used to develop components in our flex division, could produce the substantially smaller heating components required to effectively work within the tight dimensions of the 384-hole microplate.”
This proprietary Minco technology enables extremely tight hole-to-hole tolerance allowing for near perfect registration of the Minco 384-hole heater to a PCR sample block. The seamless fit of the heater provides superior heat transfer critical to fast temperature cycling environments. It also enables an unobstructed view of the reaction process because, what can be large, heating components are eliminated.
Minco today announced the release of the thinnest immunoassay pipette heating system available.
New York, NY, June 13, 2005 – MD&M East - Minco, (www.minco.com/pipette) a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical medical diagnostic applications today announced the release of the thinnest immunoassay pipette heating system available.
“Prior to the development of the Minco Pipette heating system, medical diagnostic professionals experienced difficulty in maneuvering immunoassay applications,” said Brian Williams, Minco Marketing Manager. “In order to facilitate accurate immunoassay readings, Minco engineers developed a pipette heater designed to function without additional bulk such as tubular heaters, fans and other supporting framework.”
At a mere .003” (.076 mm) thick, the Minco Pipette heating system is the thinnest, lightest and most flexible pipette heater on the market today. The heater also features an extremely fast warm-up time from room temperature to body temperature in under a second.
The new Minco pipette heater boasts the use of Thermofoil™, a Minco-developed etched-foil heating technology, which when combined with polyimide insulation, wraps completely around a .060” (1.52 mm) pipette.
Minco today announced the launch of its “Let’s Talk E2E - Engineer to Engineer” online community is for engineers with interests in flex circuit, heater, temperature and sensor solutions.
New York, NY , June 13, 2005 – MD&M East - Minco, (www.minco.com/E2Eoverview) a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical medical applications, today announced the launch of its “Let’s Talk E2E - Engineer to Engineer” online community is for engineers with interests in flex circuit, heater, temperature and sensor solutions.
“More than ever before, design engineers are being asked to provide input and direction in areas outside of their direct academic experience,” said Mary Rapaport, Minco Marketing Director. “By providing a resource for quick and reliable information, Minco believes it will contribute to the success of not only its customers, but also to the engineering community at large.”
Key among the features of “Let’s Talk E2E” is the E2E online discussion forum, an educational networking tool for engineers who seek, or wish to share, useful and meaningful information. The Forum breaks down geographical barriers and allows engineers from around the world the opportunity to exchange insight and knowledge.
