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.

Trevigen

Trevigen, Inc. is a rapidly growing biotechnology company focused on the development of technologies pertaining to apoptosis, DNA damage and repair, and genetic variability analysis. Founded in 1992, Trevigen has developed a successful research products business providing new products for the detection and characterization of DNA damage, genetic variations including mutations and polymorphisms, DNA repair, and programmed cell death. Trevigen-brand research products are marketed via the internet, catalog, journal advertising, direct mail, and telemarketing.

Trevigen also has in place supply agreements with major government and university medical research centers. The company is the recipient of several SBIR Phase I grants from the National Institutes of Health, concerning technology development for the analysis of DNA damage and genetic variability. Trevigen has is invented and patented technology for the detection of foreign DNA, DNA mutations and polymorphisms. The technology is called MIDAS (Mutation Identification DNA Analysis System). Trevigen has also developed technology for two approaches for the detection of DNA damage: the CometAssay and FLARE (Fragment Length Analysis by Repair Enzymes)
