Biomek 3000-ArrayPLEX workstation (Beckman Coulter, Inc.) is an RNA preparation solution for gene expression arrays. An evolution of the higher throughput Biomek FX ArrayPLEX application, the smaller footprint workstation includes validated methods and processes between 1 and 96 samples in a single run with minimal user intervention. It works with a variety of chemistries and chips, in addition to GeneChips, and also performs other nucleic acid preparation applications. The RNAClean kit from Agencourt is included, featuring magnetic bead technology for the cleanup of cDNA and cRNA.
