Merck, a leading science and technology company, has introduced Spectroquant® Prove, a new class of spectrophotometers for simplified, durable and secure analysis of waste water, drinking water, beverages and process water. Spectroquant® Prove is available in three models to meet a broad range of requirements and offers the largest choice of water test kits and methods including complete documentation. Learn more.
7. Application Note: High Throughput Large Scale Genotyping in Soybean Utilizing Novel Microfluidic Reagent Dispensing Technology
Recent advances in DNA marker/QTL (gene) discovery and marker detection technology have great impacts on crop improvement through marker-assisted selection. To discover and deploy the DNA markers in plant breeding programs, establishing low cost, high throughput, large scale and reliable and flexible marker genotyping platform is one of key factors. Implementing high-throughput workflows for SNP genotyping platforms such as TaqMan and KASP assays requires accurate dispensing of assay master mixes and reagents. This poster demonstrates the use of Formulatrix’s Mantis liquid handler within the marker/QTL discovery and molecular breeding processes in a soybean program. Download method.
