April 29, 2004 – Caliper Life Sciences Inc is shipping a protein assay for its LabChip 90 Automated Electrophoresis System, according to a news release.
Caliper, a Hopkinton, Mass.-based lab-on-a-chip equipment maker, said the new test offers automated processing of protein samples, which saves time and money over conventional methods of protein analysis. Laboratory researchers will be able to switch between the LabChip 90’s protein and DNA applications by changing the microfluidic chip and reagents, the release said.
