Cleaning Up Nucleic Acid Analysis
11 Oct 2011AstraNet Systems Ltd has integrated novel signal processing technology into its new AstraGene iCF spectrophotometer for nucleic acid analysis.
AstraNet claim that their intelligent, composite filters (iCF) have made it possible to completely remove the background absorbance of the pipette tip that holds the two micro-liter sample during measurement. This effectively makes the tip invisible and the sample equivalent to a suspended drop. But, unlike drop based systems, AstraGene iCF eliminates the risk of exposing the sample to the environment and the operator, while enabling the entire sample to be retained for further analysis or processing.
AstraNet further claim that the new AstraGene iCF offers enhanced graphical resolution and improved repeatability along with the ease-of-use and operator independent results inherent in its measurement technique.

AstraGene - for the routine laboratory analysis of nucleic acids and proteins
AstraNet Systems LtdAstraGene has been developed for the routine laboratory analysis of nucleic acids and proteins. With its specially developed through-the-tip measurement technology, your precious samples will never leave the pipette tip – speeding up analysis and protecting your sample. This simple system makes your work-flow as easy as just taking up the 2µl sample with the pipette, placing the pipette and tip in the holder and selecting the ‘measure’ option. The sample can then be recovered, with no risk of contamination, for further processing or other analysis.
