Corning quietly launched a human cancer gene array July 23, and has said it will launch its high-density human genome array by the end of the year.

“Corning is continuing to work on a 10,000-spot human array,” said Thomas Hinman, division vice president and general manager of Corning’s Microarray Technology Life Sciences. “It was always to follow a CMT human cancer gene array, which was launched July 23. We’re working hard on the technology and it’s looking like a public launch [for the human array] for the fourth quarter.”
