Quantum Dot Corp. launches new assay system

Mar. 21, 2005 — Quantum Dot Corp. announced the launch of its Mosaic gene expression assay system, intended to allow pharmaceutical, biotechnology and functional genomics researchers the ability to measure quantitative expression of 100 user-specified mRNAs simultaneously from small amounts of sample.

The system includes the Mosaic Q1000 scanner and computer, Mosaic software, and custom gene panels configured in kit format. It is designed for automated processing on liquid-handling workstations.

Each custom gene panel is designed and manufactured with gene-specific beads that are coded with the company’s Qdot nanocrystals. Fluorescent spectral codes are identified and gene data is measured by the scanner and analyzed by the Mosaic software modules.
