About SCHOTT Microarray Solutions
 |
SCHOTT in Jena
|
In 2002, SCHOTT established a new unit called Microarray Solutions to produce
a range of microarray products under the brand name Nexterion® in
order to meet the needs of the growing biochip market. This product group
created a unique competence center for microarray applications in Jena,
Germany, fusing SCHOTT’s experience in the high precision processing of
glass and thin film coating technology with a highly skilled life science team.
|
The strategic goal of SCHOTT is to establish Nexterion® as the leading brand
of microarray products for all DNA and protein microarray printing applications
through a strong commitment to quality and innovation.
Since its formation, this new unit has dynamically expanded its product portfolio
of microarray slides and reagents for DNA and protein microarrays. This
is a result of developing new products in-house and acquiring the Quantifoil
microarray business in 2003. SCHOTT now offers customers the most comprehensive
product range of both coated and uncoated microarray surfaces in
the world, as well as optimized kits and reagents for spotting and hybridizing
microarrays. The products are marketed under the brand name Nexterion® or
supplied as OEM products.
The SCHOTT Microarray Solutions group is based in Jena, an award winning
biotech cluster in Germany. There are significant benefits from the synergies
gained by having international sales and marketing, R&D and state-of-the-art
production facilities all on the same site. Using an interdisciplinary team of
scientists, including glass technologists, physicists, biologists and chemists,
and a strong commitment to innovation, SCHOTT develops new microarray
products and formats.
As a long established manufacturer of technical glass, SCHOTT is able to maintain
stringent control over all process steps, from initial glass production right
through to the supply of the products to the end user. All Nexterion® products
are manufactured according to the most stringent industry standards, guaranteeing
that customers receive the highest quality, most reproducible products.
To support SCHOTT’s ongoing commitment to the biotech market, a dedicated
customer application support group was established. A team of technical
experts is available to answer any technical queries and, if necessary can
undertake in-house protocol development and testing.
