Product news

GenVault Corporation, the leader in integrated biosample management, today announced the introduction of its “Bank in a Box” promotion aimed at customers interested in evaluating replacing freezers with a room temperature, dry DNA storage system.

“Bank in a Box” features GenVault’s GenPlate® - a multiwell DNA storage plate embedded with aliquots of proven media for the archiving of DNA from a variety of biosample types. Another feature of GenPlate is GenCode, a permanent sample identification system consisting of an oligonucleotide based tag that comigrates with the sample through downstream analysis.

The introductory system comes complete with a pack of 20 GenPlates in any configuration, a limited edition of GenVault’s GenConnect sample management software and one Desktop Archive storage module with capacity for 38,400 aliquots.

As biosample collections grow, the samples and data stored by the “Bank in a Box” can be fully integrated into GenVault’s other storage systems. Upgrading to the Personal or Dynamic Archive systems is as simple as transferring the GenPlate collection to the storage hardware of choice.

Availability

The complete system is available for the introductory price of $1,800. For more information visit the GenVault web-site, telephone or visit us online at the article webpage.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Refrigerators Freezers and CryogenicsRefrigerators, Freezers & Cryogenics can be used for preservation or experimental purposes. Types of freezers include deep freeze, -80C°C, ultra-low temperature, explosion proof, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers. Freezing is also used in freeze-drying equipment for dehydration processes. Feature to consider in freezers include temperature control and recorders, failure alarms and self-closing mechanisms.DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer. Find the best DNA sequencing products, including DNA sequencing kits, genomic libraries and genetic identity kits in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
