FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 23, 2003.

Specialising in the development and manufacture of innovative products that set new standards in the automation of time consuming and technical Genomic applications, Genetix Ltd. supplied colony picking systems that were key workhorses behind the effort to sequence the Human Genome.

Advanced technology helps deliver final decoding of Human Genome

Less than three years after a 'rough draft' was published to worldwide acclaim the full decoding of the Human Genome is now finally complete.

Collaborators involved with the international co-operation have said they have finished the job - two years ahead of schedule - aided by advanced robotics and supercomputers.

Specialising in the development and manufacture of innovative products that set new standards in the automation of time consuming and technical Genomic applications, Genetix Ltd. supplied colony picking systems that were key workhorses behind the effort to sequence the Human Genome.

Driven by the need to produce the most accurate and reproducible colony picking essential for high throughput automation of genomic sequencing, leading Human Genome collaborators including the Whitehead Institute, Center for Genomic Research and the Washington University Genome Sequencing Center selected Genetix QBot, MegaPix and QPix colony picking systems. In fact 6 out of the top 8 public sector laboratories involved with the project used Genetix colony pickers to help accelerate their sequencing of the Human Genome.

Additional genomic applications streamlined by Genetix include microarraying, macroarraying, and clone library management. The QArray range of microarrayers and aQuire scanner offer a flexible solution for all experimental requirements and budgets. Automation of macroarraying, replicating and rearraying applications performed on the QBot, QPix and QSelect, simplify the screening and management of large genomic and cDNA libraries. The Genetix range of unique consumables and reagents complement automation of these applications and allow you to accelerate and improve the throughput and quality of your research.

In addition to its range of advanced solutions for Genomics, Genetix also supply a range of systems and solutions that enable scientists to work at the cutting edge of Proteomics, Cell Biology and High Throughput Screening.
