A customized DNA microarray service supports development of all phases of DNA microarray technology for academic and corporate partners involved in gene expression studies. Posted on 02 Aug 2002
The service is offered by NimbleGen Systems, Inc. (Reykjavik, Iceland; www.nimblegen.com). The company uses Maskless Array Synthesis (MAS) technology to develop and manufacture customized high density, highly reproducible DNA microarrays, which improve the quality and data yield of DNA chips. Using flexible digital micromirrors, the MAS system can create a wide variety of designs and sizes based on each customer's needs. Users are enabled to create their own customized DNA arrays in their laboratories, thereby accelerating the rate of scientific research and discovery. The company supplies both custom DNA arrays and the systems that manufacture them. Its services are accessible through the website.
"The company is able to offer customers assistance in the selection and placement of unique gene sequences from their organism of choice and to integrate their unique array design into our array production process,” said Steven Smith, vice president of bioinformatics at NimbleGen.
