Explore the newest innovations in Axon GenePix<sup>®</sup> microarray scanners from MDS Analytical Technologies at AACR—Booth 1617
13 Apr 2008Product news
The GenePix® family of microarray scanners has long led the industry in performance, features, and ease-of-use. Now, the new GenePix 4300A and GenePix 4400A scanners set an even higher standard for microarray systems with powerful new and enhanced features that deliver superior multispectral imaging and high duty-cycle usage.
You can also see the following high performance bioanalytical measurement systems—and the latest addition to our already robust reagent family—on display in Molecular Devices’ (now a part of MDS Analytical Technologies) Booth #1617:
- New! ArcturusXT™—See the next generation microdissection system based on the new Nikon® Eclipse Ti-E microscope. New optics and features expand its utility to deliver superior flexibility and ease-of-use.
- New! RiboAmp Ultra Reagents—Learn about new developments in our Arcturus® Microgenomics reagent family.
- SpectraMax® Readers—explore the highly efficient, flexible single- and multi-mode microplate readers.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.
