SQUIRT

SQUIRT (patent pending) is a multi-format microplate washer, designed to wash any microplate - with or without wells. SQUIRT has been exclusively licensed to Matrical, Inc. It is on the market now from Matrical, Inc. as a standalone or for robotic integration for washing individual microplates. Development of SQUIRT was partially funded with an NSF SBIR Phase I (DMI-0319656) and Phase II grant (DMI-0450448) and in collaboration with Brian McGraw of McGraw Consulting, LLC.

Custom Protein Microarrays

NuvoGen Research does ultra high throughput microarray assays for early phase cancer projects. For that research, they developed an in-house system for reliably printing microarrays in microplates. This has yielded a system for producing and marketing the following microarrays exclusively for proteomics  (for genomics assays see ArrayPlate below)

   96 well plates:      37-108 spots per well

 384 well plates:      9-17 spots per well

1536 well plates:     4  spots per well

ArrayPlate Technology

ArrayPlate^TM technology is a process for performing high throughput genomics assays. The cofounders of NuvoGen Research received three patents for the technology. It uses nuclease protection coupled with a microarray readout, to allow very high precision. ArrayPlate^TM is now owned and marketed by http://www.htgenomics.com, who initially funded development through its sister company, SIDDCO, Inc. Additional funding was by an NIH SBIR award to NuvoGen Research (then NeoGen), Phase I CA84874.
