Bioarray can be used to identify up or down regulated genes involved in key biological processes including oncogenesis, metabolism, inflammation and apoptosis
Amersham Biosciences has introduced a new addition to its CodeLink system.
CodeLink UniSet Human 20K I bioarray enables researchers to assay nearly 20,000 human genes in a single experiment using just one bioarray.
Differential expression data generated from experiments completed with the CodeLink UniSet Human 20K I bioarray can be used to identify up or down regulated genes involved in key biological processes including oncogenesis, metabolism, inflammation and apoptosis.
The CodeLink system provides sensitivity for detection of low abundance genes, high specificity for better discrimination of homologous genes and high reproducibility for minimal experimental variation. "The availability of 19,195 unique human genes, each represented by a probe that has been individually validated, on a single bioarray will give researchers a tremendous advantage by allowing them to quickly generate results they can trust," said Samraat Raha, vice president of CodeLink at Amersham Biosciences.
Amersham Biosciences has also introduced the CodeLink Expression assay kit for optimised sample preparation. The new CodeLink Expression assay kit provides reagents and materials needed for processing bioarrays across the CodeLink system, including the new CodeLink UniSet Human 20K I bioarray.
