PixelTM System
The Pixel system is a stand-alone detection platform for direct mRNA detection from Single Cells and precious samples.

The Pixel System is an innovative gene expression analysis tool that combines Molecular Indexing with the simplicity of endpoint PCR to create a highly precise, sensitive and accurate measurement technique. Obtain absolute mRNA quantitation from single cells or precious samples in less than a day using the Pixel16 detector and Pixel Assay kit with standard molecular biology tools.

About Molecular IndexingTMThe Molecular Indexing technology is based on a method called "stochastic labeling" where each and every copy of a DNA molecule, present in a sample, is labeled at random from a large, non-depleting reservoir of diverse oligonucleotide labels or barcodes. DNA molecules of an identical sequence become distinct through unique labeling. The subsequent diversity of the labeled molecules is governed by the statistics of random choice, thus enabling individual molecules to ...

Bunsen Burners and Bad Hair Days

Lab safety rules dictate that one must tie back long hair. Rosemarie Hansen learned the hard way when an open flame turned her locks into a lesson.
