Little Dipper Processor
Emory Genetics Laboratory is a leader in the development and clinical use of microarray-based testing for the identification of chromosomal
aberrations in postnatal and prenatal samples. We researched SciGene’s specialized equipment for array processing and determined it was a good fit for the needs of our laboratory. We found that the Little Dipper Processor reduced variability between arrays and lowered our labor costs, which allowed us to discontinue all manual washing of microarrays.
Our technicians love the machine’s walk-away automation, which improves their ability to multi-task and be more efficient. In addition, and more importantly, the instrument eliminates variability between technologists that can result from differences in technique or experience. We also use the NoZone Workspace in conjunction with the Little Dipper which allows us to protect our arrays from the harmful effects of ozone.
Over the years, we have found SciGene to be a responsive supplier of innovative microarray products which has provided excellent support
to our laboratory.
