Studies involving animal research have a large genetic component. Whether it is developing a transgenic mouse or sequencing the genome of an animal, rapid genomic DNA preparation is a must. FTA Technology simplifies the collection and preparation of DNA from a variety of animal samples including blood, buccal cells and tissue. Samples are easily applied to the FTA matrix where the DNA is stabilized for analysis at any time.
Animal based model systems are being developed for studying a variety of diseases and for understanding the effects of genetic elements. Several approaches are taken to analyze these model systems. Proteomics is central to these studies. Protein microarrays allow for the multiplexing of samples to study many analytes at one time. Multiplexing allows for the conservation of precious samples and for the collection of large amounts of data. Protein microarrays speed the time to discovery.
