Get more information from your blots. Strip-EZ(TM) technology synthesizes StripAble(TM) RNA and DNA probes which increase the lifespan of nucleic acid blots. ULTRAhyb(TM) Ultrasensitive Hybridization Buffer increases the sensitivity of Northerns, Southerns, and microarrays as much as 100-fold, without increasing background. Using Strip-EZ probes in concert with ULTRAhyb Buffer provides incredible sensitivity, unparalleled data quality, and increased blot lifespans. http://www.ambion.com/techlib/tn/73/733.html ===================================================================== Oncogenomics: Dissecting Cancer through Genome Research January 25-27, 2001 - Tuscon, Arizona Brought to you by Nature Genetics and the American Association of Cancer Research, this conference on Oncogenomics is designed to coalesce the remarkable recent progress in the field of genome research with research aimed at gaining new insights into cancer development, progression, and therapy.
