March 20, 2008 — febit biomed gmbh will introduce its Geniom RT Analyzer at the upcoming Analytica 2008 conference (April 1-4). The compact, all-in-one device enables fully automated processing of microarrays on Geniom biochips and employs a microfluidic biochip, thus saving operating time and offering high sample throughput, excellent reproducibility, high sensitivity, and a variety of additional applications, according to company claims.
The programmable temperature control optimizes hybridizations and enables the use of enzymatic reactions directly on the microfluidic array for signal enhancement and primer extension assays.
febit offers microarray analytics for a broad spectrum of DNA and RNA samples. The array design can be chosen from current databases or is customizable.
Alternatively, researchers may prefer the Geniom One System, which enables integrated microarray synthesis in the user’s laboratory, providing an independent workflow with complete control of the microarray experiments. For utmost flexibility and maximized throughput, both instruments can be utilized in combination.
The Geniom RT Analyzer offers
- Sample loading, hybridization, washing, staining, and detection in one single benchtop instrument;
- Active motion hybridization in the microchannels of the microarrays; and
- Precise temperature control for optimized hybridizations.
