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.
