The Affymetrix GeneChip® System 3000Dx v.2 is 510(k) cleared and CE marked for in vitro diagnostic use. This second-generation system includes GeneChip® Scanner 3000Dx v.2, the GeneChip® Fluidics Station 450Dx v.2, GeneChip Hybridization Oven 645 and Workstation with Affymetrix Molecular Diagnostics Software (AMDS). The fully integrated platform performs both DNA and RNA analysis for genetic testing, personalized medicine, and pharmacogenomic analyses.

 

The Affymetrix GeneChip® System is a Research-Use-Only system for genome-level DNA and RNA analyses. It includes GeneChip® Scanner 3000 7G, the GeneChip® Fluidics Station 450, GeneChip Hybridization Oven 640 and Workstation with Affymetrix Command Console software. The system can be used for all Affymetrix arrays as well as arrays developed by Affymetrix Partner.

 

ArrayPlex for automatic microarray target preparation for large-scale gene expression and genotyping studies. The Beckman Coulter's ArrayPlex features:

• Hgher Throughput Automated target RNA sample processing in 36 hours -- six times that of a single technician holding an manual pipettor.
• Flexibility Filtration or magnetic bead cleanup steps and compatible with both Affymetrix and Enzo IVT labeling reagents
• Scalability Process experimental and control samples in batches of eight, up to 96 in a full microplate
• Reliability Fully validated robust solution; Increased performance of GeneChip hybridization
  

 

Agilent 2100Electrophoresis Bioanalyzer System for rapid determination of quality and quantity of RNA and DNA with 1 ul sample up to 12 samples in 30 minutes. Compliance Services allow work within regulated environment.

 

NanoDrop-8000 is a full-spectrum UV/Vis spectrophotometer that measures 1 ul samples, up to 8 at a time, allowing measurement of 96 samples in 6 minutes. The high absorbance capability (dynamic range: 2-3700 ng/ul) eliminates the need for dilutions in most cases.

 

DNA Engine Tetrad 2 Thermal Cycler is a completely redesigned and updated version of the original Tetrad chassis. Real-time displays of block, sample and lid temperatures provide quality assurance that the thermal cycler is performing as directed. Superior software features, such as error tracking logs, run tracking files, problem resolution trees and file management tools, offer invaluable information for troubleshooting during high throughput runs.
