Affymetrix and Beckman Coulter have entered into an agreement to offer researchers, co-developed products in microarrays and automated liquid handlers. The collaboration will provide scientists with optimized, robust solutions for genomic research, fortified by end-to-end support.

The partnership will yield an expanding list of the former's validated automated target preparation methods, developed on a specific configuration of the latter's Biomek FXp Dual Arm Multichannel-Span 8 liquid handler. This platform will provide researchers with standardized systems that include the components that are necessary to run the former's genotyping and gene expression assays.

Major benefits of the solution will include the flexibility to process samples using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays or array plates with a single method, user-friendly interfaces, rapid implementation of new methods, a validated platform, elimination of costly mistakes and delivery of high-quality results.

Automated target preparation solutions from Affymetrix and Beckman Coulter are for research use only and are not for use in diagnostic procedures.
