"The VERSA Spotter has enabled our lab to construct our own microarrays. Thanks to the microarray printer, we now are easily construct microarrays to analyze glycan-protein interactions which is a significant resource to our lab in particular."
Toxicology Assay Services
So far, it has been well documented that ion channels and transporters are specific targets for numerous toxins. A considerable number of these toxins are known as Neurotoxins and mainly secrets by various venomous species targeting ion channels of the neuronal network. Some are also extracted from other natural sources. Ion channel-targeted toxins have been shown to be as promising drug candidates and also leading molecules for the treatment of several disorders. Considering various toxins developed as medicines and drug precursors targeting ion channels with possible applications in biotechnology and health care, Aurora also uses its scientific expertise and well-stablished ICR technology to help you validate the great potential for your testing toxins. Aurora provides comprehensive in vitro assessment for compound safety profiles in the early-phase discovery process and also provides a cost-effective, high-quality, reproducible data.
"Our two VERSA 10s as well as our two VERSA 1100s have primarily been used to automate our COVID-19 assay. The hands-free automation on these instruments has drastically increased our throughput while lowering report turn-around-times."
"We have three instruments in total. DNA Labs International is looking forward to using the VERSA instruments (VERSA 1100) to streamline sexual assault kit processing and to help usher in the new era of Next Generation Sequencing technology."
