Hyb4 microarray hybridization system Hyb4 microarray hybridization system

If you need highly reproducible and sensitive microarray hybridizations, and want to eliminate the labour and guesswork of traditional manual methods, then the GeneMachines Hyb4 microarray hybridization system is the solution. You'll also save time and money by eliminating a common problem experienced with manual hybridization methods which is the need to repeat failed experiments.

The GeneMachines Hyb4 is built upon the success of the first automated hybridization system for microarrays. The unit automates all thermal and wash cycles for the hybridization of microarrays spotted on standard glass slides. The 4-position GeneMachines Hyb4 allows 4 slides to be hybridized simultaneously and individual ports allow for independent probe introduction for each microarray. The gentle and consistent agitation of the Hyb-4 enhances kinetics and removes "edge effects" by ensuring that the target equally addresses all probes on the array. Increase your research flexibility by defining, editing and storing individual methods using the Methods Editor software on your PC.

HybStation microarray hybridization system HybStation microarray hybridization system

If you need highly reproducible and sensitive microarray hybridizations, and want to eliminate the labour and guesswork of traditional manual methods, then the GeneMachines HybStation microarray hybridization system is the solution. You'll also save time and money by eliminating a common problem experienced with manual hybridization methods which is the need to repeat failed experiments.

The GeneMachines HybStation was the first automated system for the hybridization of microarrays. The unit automates all thermal and wash cycles for the hybridization of microarrays spotted on standard glass slides. The 12-position HybStation allows for up to six different sets of hybridizations to be run at the same time and individual ports allow for independent probe introduction for each microarray. The gentle and consistent agitation of the HybStation enhances kinetics and removes "edge effects" by ensuring that the target equally addresses all probes on the array. Increase your research flexibility by defining, editing and storing individual methods using the onboard microprocessor you control via an LCD touch screen or by using the Methods Editor software on your PC.

Q-Hyb-10 Hybridization incubation oven Q-Hyb-10 Hybridization incubation oven

Key Features:

  • Optional accessories for Falcon tube, standard, large bottle and custom rotisseries
  • Wide temperature range ambient + 5°C– 95°C for membrane stripping protocols
  • Timer with audible alarm for accurate incubation and washing steps
  • Optional interchangeable shaking tray accessory for batch washing
  • Optional four removable shelves accessory for static incubations
  • Index loading system for controlled experimental set up and rapid change of washing fluids
  • Easy clean stainless interior and door to ensure rapid and complete decontamination
  • Large window to view experiments
  • High precision PID control for reproducible experiments
  • Bottle to bottle uniformity better than 0.1°C
  • Stackable to minimize wastage of laboratory space

The Q-Hyb 10 is a high quality versatile hybridization incubator. With its integral rotisserie it has the capacity to conduct up to 20 independent probe hybridizations, each with up to seven separate membranes.

Alternatively, the rotisserie can be interchanged with the unit's shaking platform to facilitate large scale hybridization or batch washing protocols.

The rotisserie and shaking platform can be interchanged in less than a minute allowing researchers to quickly adapt the incubator to the needs of their individual protocols; employing strategies utilizing both accessories.

This capacity and flexibility enables the incubator to service multiple users and act as a core hybridization oven facility in even the most demanding research laboratory.
