NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Gentel Biosciences said yesterday that it has placed its first protein array reader system with the Centre for Proteomic and Genomic Research in Cape Town, South Africa.

Gentel’s APiX Colorimetric Protein Array Reader integrates colorimetric detection technology with a newly developed 96-well plate microarray format, called APiX 96. The firm’s transparent nitrocellulose-coated plastic substrate serves as the surface chemistry for the instrument.
