LC Packings/Dionex introduced a new Dual Gradient UltiMate Capillary/Nano LC system that allows for parallel capillary/nano LC separations. The system consists of two micropumps, capable of gradient flow rates as low as 50 nl/min.

Beckman Coulter launched its A2 Protein MicroArray platform. It allows for the analysis of up to 13 different analytes in each well of a 96-well plate. The system comprises 96-well plates pre-spotted with oligos, a universal linker reagent kit that sells for $430, a plate reader for $74,000, and software.
