Products - Genemachines OmniGrid Accent
Manufacturer: Genomic Solutions Inc.
Description:
Building on the worldwide success of the OmniGrid® 100 microarrayer, the OmniGrid Accent offers a high-performance benchtop solution for printing quality arrays. The Accent arrays biological samples from 3 plates onto a 50-slide platform and supports a print head with up to 48 pins. The whisper quiet operation and superior printing precision of this high-speed arrayer is the result of state-of-the-art engineering. The transparent enclosure with positive-pressure HEPA fitering provides a dust-free printing environment.The Accent utilizes the same user-friendly interface as the popular OmniGrid 100 and the new OmniGrid 300 giving users maximum flexibility over the printing process. The software package offers extensive control over array design, pin configuration, cleaning protocols and sample sequences. The sample tracking feature seamlessly integrates Accent's array data with leading scanner and analysis software.
