Is 2008 the year of the microarray scanner? It could very well be with at least five new scanners hitting the market by year end. The timing coincides with the introduction of higher density DNA microarrays. With more probes per chip, probe size is smaller, requiring higher resolution scanning. In addition, new software designed for […]
Company Announcements Affymetrix extended its Collaborations in Cancer Research Program to North America, forming alliances with 15 cancer researchers. Affymetrix named AltheaDx as an authorized service provider. Thermo Fisher Scientific collaborated with protein microarray firm Gentel Biosciences to shift microarrays to a new 96-well configuration and ELISA-like format. Thermo sells the product under the SmartPlex […]
