Affymetrix and Beckman Coulter have announced their collaboration, providing scientists with solutions for genomic research.
The partnership will yield Affymetrix-validated, automated target-preparation methods developed on an Affymetrix-specific configuration of Beckman Coulter's Biomek FXp Dual Arm Multichannel - Span 8 Liquid Handler.
The platform will provide researchers with standardised systems that include all components necessary to run Affymetrix genotyping and gene-expression assays.
The solution will include the flexibility to process samples using Affymetrix Genechip Arrays or Array Plates with a single method and implementation of new methods.
