A new DNA microarray system combines ease of operation, a hybridization incubator that permits highly reproducible hybridization reactions ten times faster than other methods, and an image acquisition system. The system was exhibited at the annual meeting of the Japanese Cancer Society in Tokyo (Japan).Posted on 10 Oct 2002
Called FD10, the microarray is based on the PamChip developed by PamGene International B.V. (S-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands). The FD10 was jointly developed by PamGene and Olympus Optical Co. (Tokyo, Japan) and is being marketed by Olympus. The target market comprises universities and other academic research institutions, pharmacuetical firms, and food manufacturers.
"Combining the strengths of our PamChip--robustness, speed, and kinetic readout—with the ease of use and sensitivity of the FD10 is an excellent starting point for a successful entry in the microarray market,” said Tim Kievits, CEO of PamGene. The company was formed in 2001, with the objective of becoming a biodiscovery company for pharmaceutical research and development.
