Features:

• Speed. Unlike most commercially available microarray scanners, the GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner acquires data at two wavelengths simultaneously. This means drastically reduced scan times and hence greater workflow efficiency. Apart from superior speed, simultaneous scanning eliminates potential errors associated with aligning two separately scanned images, and provides real-time access to data as they are acquired.
• Add Reliability to Your Research. The performance calibration standards that come with your GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner allow you to check the performance when you receive your scanner and at any time in the future. GenePix Pro Acquisition and Analysis Software includes one-touch calibration to restore any GenePix scanner to benchmark performance. You can rest assured knowing the signals you generate today are the same as a couple of years ago and in the future.
• Automate Your Workflow. With automated photomultiplier (PMT) balancing. The fully integrated GenePix Pro Acquisition and Analysis Software, controls the GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner and can automatically evaluate the required PMT gain values, for fast and easy optimization of signal intensity and channel balance. The GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner then acquires data at your selected resolution between 5-100 micron, allowing the adjustment of image resolution and file size for each experiment.
• Get More Published. For over 10 years and close to 6000 literature references, the GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner has expanded the overall sample compatibility, with user-adjustable focus offset and laser power settings. This allows proper imaging of slides with either a raised surface, as with membrane-coated glass, or a recessed surface, as in embedded arrays.

Quantitative real-time PCR is a highly sensitive and specific fluorescence-based technique that measures the production of a target amplicon during the exponential phase of the polymerase chain reaction when PCR efficiency is least influenced by reaction variables.

The use of fluorogenic probes reduces the time to obtain results by eliminating post-PCR processing. Relative quantitation, based on expression of an internal housekeeping control, as well as absolute quantitation, based on standard curves of the target amplicon, can be achieved using real-time PCR methodology. Real-time QPCR has many other applications including allelic discrimination, viral load, cDNA microarray validation, gene dosage and SNP analyses.

The benefits of the automated MX4000 technology include real-time PCR detection; closed-tube assay, no electrophoresis, highly reproducible quantitative results, large dynamic range, 96 sample throughput and ability to analyse results during the reaction.

Applications

• DNA target quantification
• Gene expression
• SNP detection, Allele discrimination, GenotypingDNA methylation, Apoptosis
• Viral load assays, Pathogen detection
