09-17-2007, SCHOTT North America Inc., Jena, Germany Protein arrays: Come over to the dark side for improved dynamic range |
| SCHOTT’s product group Nexterion Microarray Solutions, and the Sartorius Stedim Biotech Group have launched an innovative dark grey nitrocellulose protein microarray slide. Conventional white nitrocellulose films scatter and reflect large amounts of light, leading to high background fluorescence.
To overcome this problem, Sartorius Stedim has developed a new process that adds light-absorbing black pigment throughout the micro-porous structure of the membrane. The darker membrane has significantly lower background auto-fluorescence increasing the overall dynamic signal range when compared to traditional white membrane slides. This offers a significant advantage for diagnostic applications where typically the signals are low.
The new SCHOTT Nexterion Slide NC-D with dark grey membranes, are available in either a single, or 16 pad format on a standard microarray glass slides.
