Exhibitors
3-Prime
Products include:
Standard and Custom Oligonucleotide Synthesis Columns: in a variety of scales and nucleoside chemistries, for most popular commercial synthesizers and custom designs. Bulk Solid Supports: Controlled Porosity Glass (CPG) and polystyrene supports. Molecular Traps: to keep synthesis reagents anhydrous.
Amaxa
Amaxa develops and commercializes innovative products for the transfer of DNA or siRNA into cells. Its unique Nucleofector® technology provides a breakthrough tool for the highly efficient, non-viral transfection of primary cells and hard-to-transfect cell lines, enabling researchers to now use primary cells in their gene transfer experiments in basic research and drug development. The recently introduced Nucleofector® 96-well-Shuttle® System now also allows high throughput transfection in 96-well format.
Bio-Rad Laboratories
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. is dedicated to supporting RNA interference research by providing laboratory solutions for RNAi techniques and the interpretations of gene silencing events. We provide a range of RNAi solutions, from design through detection, for both mRNA and protein analysis.

BTX/Harvard Apparatus
BTX, the experts in Electroporation, offer tools for Electroporation & Electrofusion applications both in vitro and in vivo. We are proud to announce the addition of two new products to the BTX family. Our new Microporator offers a novel approach to electroporating difficult to transfect cells in small volumes with high efficiency and viability. The ECIS (Electro Cell Impedance System) can effectively monitor cell growth, morphology and movement during culture.
Cerionx, Inc.
The TipCharger by Cerionx™ is used for cleaning and sterilizing pipet tips specific to automated liquid handlers. Substituting The TipCharger System for traditional tip washing significantly increases throughput (20%), eliminates the direct and indirect costs of purchasing, storing, handling and disposing of costly DNAse/RNAse free water, including the costs and procedures surrounding hazardous material use, and eliminates concerns of bacterial or fungal contamination, thus improving the overall reliability and robustness of siRNA screening campaigns.
Exiqon
Exiqon is a leading provider of innovative and enabling research products for microRNA and other short nucleic acid targets. Exiqon provides LNA™ based research tools for miRNA in situ detection, functional analysis by miRNA knockdown, arrays for genome-wide miRNA profiling, Luminex assays, and a miRNA profiling service. www.exiqon.com
Genisphere, Inc.
Genisphere has the solutions for amplification and detection of nucleic acids and proteins! Genisphere’s latest product, FlashTagTM, is a rapid, sensitive kit for direct RNA labeling. It is ideally suited for studying Low Molecular Weight (LMW) RNA molecules, such as microRNA. Genisphere’s RNA amplification products provide several advantages over Eberwine amplification, including amplification of LMW and degraded RNA samples, making them the kit of choice for precious samples that are otherwise untouchable.
