Reduce evaporation to improve PCR results
 12 Aug 2008: Evaporation of water from the mastermix will change the specificity and efficiency of any PCR. Heated cycler lids and heat sealing of plates are established technologies to reduce evaporation. Now, with the Mastercycler pro, Eppendorf has launched a PCR cycler with a new technology to further reduce evaporation. The Mastercycler pro covers the PCR plate with a fluid-filled cushion instead of a solid plate.

The Study of Copy Number Variations (CNVs) Using the 12.765 Digital Array
 28 Jul 2008: Copy number variation (CNV) is a polymorphism studied extensively because of its close association with drug metabolism, cancer, immune diseases, and neurological disorders. Conventional technologies such as comparative genomic hybridization, high density SNP genotyping arrays are limited for CNV analysis. Instead, this application note demonstrates how the 12.765 Digital Array enables a new level of sensitivity and flexibility in detecting copy number variations.

Enabling Loss of Heterozygosity Studies Using BioMark Digital Arrays
28 Jul 2008: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) refers to a change from a heterozygous state in a normal genome to a homozygous state in a paired tumor genome. This application note demonstrates how the 12.765 Digital Array enables a new level of sensitivity and flexibility in detecting LOH, through experiments on abnormal X chromosome copy number or aneuploidy.
