HudsonAlpha Institute adopts
Nucleofector
The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology will utilise Amaxa's Nucleofector technology as a core technology in certain research projects
One of the earliest projects will focus on a broad study across the NCI-60 cell line panel This technology will allow the HudsonAlpha Institute researchers to develop reproducible, non-viral based, optimised transfection protocols for the cell lines included in the National Cancer Institute's drug discovery panel

High-throughput tool for primary cell transfection
The devices developed using Amaxa's Nucleofector technology will be the world's first technology enabling high-throughput screenings in efficiently transfected and differentiated primary cells
This will allow the study of gene control in the most extensively studied cell lines in the world.
"One of our goals is to develop high-throughput research tools that focus on why disease occurs and to rapidly apply this knowledge to help patients.
"To that end we recognize the need to understand cellular changes across many cell types.
"Amaxa's Nucleofector 96-well shuttle system is an important tool that will help provide the necessary capability," said Jim Hudson, president of the HudsonAlpha Institute.
"The HudsonAlpha Institute's comprehensive, high-throughput approach to research makes it an ideal collaborative partner for amaxa's technology.
"It is our goal to enable our customers to genetically manipulate whatever cell types they consider the best experimental model.
"This collaboration is a natural outcome of aligned objectives," said Rainer Christine, co-founder and CEO, Amaxa.
