Product news

According to the announcement made by febit inc. today, the operational business of the company in the U.S. has been started successfully: Within the last months the first Geniom Instruments have been installed at the renowned US-institutes Prognosys Bioscience, Inc in San Diego (CA). and University of California in San Francisco (UCSF).

Prognosys is the first research site in the US that decided last spring to establish the Geniom microarray platform as genetic analysis tool in their laboratory. Dr. Stefan Matysiak, Vice President & General Manger of febit inc., stated, “Prognosys is a crucial reference site for febit inc. Cooperations and clients like Marc Chee, founder and CEO of Prognosys, are extremely valuable in respect of a market characterized by particular dynamics and a high rate of innovation. We believe that in the near future the Geniom Technology will play an important role within the market of microarray analysis based on its high quality and unique flexibility.”

With the UCSF a very renowned and well equipped institute decided for Geniom to enhance the pool of cutting edge technology at its Center for Advanced Technology (CAT). To get Geniom-supported research up and running as soon as possible, febit sent as a part of its customer service a team of specialists to train the UCSF laboratory team onsite, and optimizes the highly-advanced system to the scientists needs. .

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.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. Find the best microarray products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
