Eppendorf Biochip Systems [1]is part of the Eppendorf company, specialized in microarray solutions for routine applications, including DNA microarrays for gene expression analysis, detection of infectious agents, and GMOs in food and feed. Furthermore, transcription factor microarrays and protein microarrays are offered as well as the colorimetric detection system, the Silverquant scanner and Silverquant labeling kit.
In collaboration with the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Union, Eppendorf conducted a validation study with Eppendorf’s DualChip GMO microarray. A detailed description of the technology and the study can be found at http://bgmo.jrc.ec.europa.eu/home/docs.htm.
