Alliance for Processing Protein Microarrays

The first workstation designed to exclusively automate assays performed in the fast-emerging protein microarray market was introduced at the Emerging Microarray Technologies and Applications Conference in San Diego, CA (USA).

Called the ProteinArray Workstation, the automated system was developed by NextGen Sciences (Cambridge, UK) in collaboration with PerkinElmer Life Sciences (Boston, MA, USA). Under the terms of an agreement between the two companies, PerkinElmer will manufacture and have exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the system. NextGen designs and develops novel biochemistries, robotics, and instrumentation for the genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics fields. PerkinElmer provides products and services for the life sciences, including instrumentation systems for high-throughput screening and other areas of drug discovery.

"NextGen Sciences' extremely fast-track development capabilities enables us to deliver a system that expands our broad product portfolio of system solutions for protein microarrays, underscoring our commitment of meeting our customers' greatest needs in the proteomics arena,” said John Engel, president of PerkinElmer.
