Array used in cancer progression study
Research group in Manchester has been using human cancer arrays for a pilot study identifying genes involved in the progression of cervical carcinoma
A research group at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, has been using BD Atlas 1.2 human cancer arrays for a pilot study identifying genes involved in the progression of cervical carcinoma Ian Hampson, senior lecturer in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Health, explained: "The long term aim of this work is to correlate the appearance of premalignant cells with a progressive phenotype of gene expression

Plastic microarray kits used in Heart Research
Researchers at the Wales Heart Research Institute have been using BD Atlas plastic microarray kits from BD Biosciences to study the underlying phenotypes of heart disease in cell culture models.
We would like to be able to improve upon the success of smear screening by following up abnormal smears with a diagnostic test based on gene expression." Ian continued: "I had great success with the BD Atlas arrays in a previous gene expression study and it was an obvious choice for this project.
The beauty of the array is that you don't need to have rocket science instrumentation to do the work, as they are very user friendly.
We've always had a good relationship with scientific support specialists at BD Biosciences and are very grateful to them for all of their help with this study.".
