Applications driven consumables and reagents ...

The latest edition of genUpdate - a newsletter covering the latest advances in applications-driven consumables and reagents is available as a downloadable pdf file from the Genetix website (www.genetix.com).

Through maintaining its close links with the Genomic, Proteomic and Cell Biology research communities Genetix regularly introduces new innovative application driven consumables and reagents to enhance productivity and improve results.

The winter 2004 issue of genUpdate introduces the ECOS™ range of Competent Cells that enables cell transformation in just one minute and high-resolution array-CGH kits that meet the challenges for the characterisation of tumour sub-types in the quest for improved genetic diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.

The newsletter also details the QRep range of 96 or 384 pin replicators for compound transfer in clone library replication and manipulation applications.
Unlike most commercial pipetting systems that cannot accurately pipette less than 100nL with QReps low nanolitre volumes of sample solution can be precisely and rapidly transferred into assay plates.

Performance data is given on Proforma II - a new generation of high performance nylon filters with a built-in robustness that eliminates traditional waste problems associated with folding, creasing and tearing. To receive this and future copies of genUpdate by post simply email brochurerequest@genetix.com with your name and address.
