3dbiosurfaces, Stratec Consumables 3D NS-NC slide

Nov 08, 2017

3dbiosurfaces and Stratec Consumables have launched the 3D NS-NC slide, a microarray substrate based on 3dbiosurfaces' technology. Stratec Consumables is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stratec. The slide offers increased signal intensity, more uniform spots, and other benefits over other microarray substrates, the firms said in a statement, adding it is especially attractive for protein applications as the surfaces allow proteins to maintain their shape and function.
