Advanced solutions for improved microarray processing and detection

The rapidly evolving technology of microarrays provides a powerful tool to improve a variety applications in the field of molecular biology. To generate high quality, reliable data, great care must be taken in all steps of a microarray experiment. To enhance the sensitivity, reproducibility and throughput of microarrays, the standardization through automation is a key to eliminate multiple variables of the experiment and thus increase quality and consistency of the results.

With the HS series of hybridization stations and the LS series of laser scanners Tecan offers are a range of instruments designed to fully automate microarray processing and data analysis for a variety of genomic and proteomic applications. State-of-the-art technology combines ease-of-use with advanced features for outstanding application flexibility, quality and performance.
