Genomic Solutions Inc.

Genomic Solutions design, develop, manufacture, market and sell genomic, proteomic and high throughput screening (HTS) instrumentation, software and consumables. It is the only company supplying tools and expertise for genomics, proteomics and HTS. These products are sold under the Cartesian, Investigator and GeneMachine brand names.

Their Mission is to provide life science researchers in biopharmaceutical companies, universities and other research institutions with automated research systems, thereby significantly enhancing productivity and improving drug discovery processes.

In 2002 Genomic Solutions became a part of the Harvard Bioscience family of companies. They continue to operate as a stand alone wholly owned subsidiary.

SCHOTT Nexterion

SCHOTT Nexterion, a leading supplier of microarray solutions for all DNA and protein microarray applications, was established as a new unit by SCHOTT in 2002 as part of its operations expansion in the biochip market.

SCHOTT Nexterion uses two different types of glass for microarray substrates that are produced in the microscope slide format. Both glass types are borosilicate glasses that offer you high chemical resistance, low auto-fluorescence, and an excellent flatness. All slides are laser-cut to reduce the risk of surface contamination.

It is SCHOTT Nexterion's goal to assure that you are provided with the best microarray consumables to ensure reliable and reproducible scientific experiments. For this reason, all SCHOTT Nexterion products must fulfill extremely high quality and uniformity requirements. Stringent control over all process steps from initial glass production through the final packaging is being maintained. In addition, SCHOTT Nexterion offers extensive technical application support for all DNA and protein microarray assays.
