Company Profile
STRETTON SCIENTIFIC
Stretton Scientific Ltd bring together complementary technologies providing innovative geneware for the complete solution.
CYTOGENETICS /PATHOLOGY
FISH Probes; Kreatech's Repeat Free Poseidon FISH kits, with an extensive range including Oncology, Prenatal and Postnatal probes. Complimentary equipment for automation of many steps in the process;
Thermobrite’s denaturation and hybridisation system allows programmable temperature controlled slide processing system for FISH.
Imaging; Ariol, Cytogenetic and Cytopathology Systems. Ariol is a high throughput automated image analysis system for the quantification of biomarkers on microscope slides in research, clinical, pharmaceutical, genomic and proteomic applications.
Cytovision; Leaders in the Cytogenetic Imaging field, provide an automated, high quality capture and ease of use analysis system for your Cytogenetic based work, including FISH, Karyotyping, metaphase finding, SPOT counting, MFISH and CGH for human, animal and plant work
MICROARRAYS
Custom oligo microarrays; Offering you the ultimate flexibility for ANY Sequence, ANY Genome, stripping and re-use of the chips company supported up to 3 X
CatalogArrays; Providing a large range of almost 50 immediately available arrays.
ULS Labelling; A versatile non-enzymatic chemical labelling offering speed, controllability and ease of use to the end user
ULS Protein Labelling; Provides you with an easy way to label your antibodies
Tissue Microarrays; A full range of Catalogue & Custom TMA services, offering an affordable and diverse range of both normal and malignant tissue section with unrivaled QC and associated pathological data
Custom array synthesizer enables you to manufacture commercial grade custom content microarrays to your exact specification with complete control over the content
MicroRNA’s - enable regulation of complex biological pathways, they have received significant attention with respect to their role in cancer, disease, and stem cell differentiation. We offer a wide range of miRNA Arrays, available for numerous species, validated from the current Sanger database, with speedy 30 day turnaround time. Antisense controls and every probe on the chip QC tested’’’’
Electrasense’s platform is an affordable, user friendly and reliable microarray reader that electrochemically measures thousands of probes in less than one minute
Confocal Fluorescent Scanners; High Resolution Rapid Scanners available in two resolution options and with the option of a slide loader for both instruments. Scanning at a pixel size from 1µm, the Innoscan 900 is one of the highest resolution scanners currently available. Real time auto focusing ensure optimum image quality
Software;
ImaGene 8.0, giving you the leading software tools to process and visualise your microarray data.
Nexus Copy Number software, powerful platform independent software to process and identify copy number changes from numerous arrays. Identifying (common) regions of significance within the data set, then relating biological information, and linking through to the web to allow scientists’ to quickly mine their data.
TISSUE PROCESSING
Tissue Homogenisation; The Precellys 24 offers a perfect bench top solution for biological sample preparation to extract nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) and protein.
Also available with a Cryolys upgrade to provide optimal chilled temperature controlled homogenization which can protect sensitive molecules from degradation and prevent enzymes from becoming active.
Polymerase Chain Reaction;
SmartCycler offers flexible real-time PCR, running different protocols in each of its 24 modules. The system offers faster cycling time, increased throughput without a requirement to batch samples. Robust and portable, it offers significantly reduced assay optimisation times.
SmartMix, the premium master mix in a solid bead format, contains all required regents for PCR in a stable, easy to use format, reducing the potential for pipetting errors
Linking Products, Innovation and Professional Service
INNOVATIVE GENEWARE
|
Now available from Stretton Scientific, a range of ULS labelling, which is based on the stable binding properties of platinum(II) to nucleic acids and proteins. The ULS molecule consists of a monofunctional platinum complex coupled to a detectable molecule of choice. Applications include: array CGH, molecular cytogenetics, MiRNA, cDNA, geneexpression,
Stretton Scientific have launched a re-usable, custom oligo array platform for any species, any genome. The advantages include: no minimum order size - due to the fact that the arrays are synthesised on a silicon chip rather than printed; and the arrays can be stripped and reused for a total of 4 hybridisations per slide making them extremely economic and flexible. The arrays are available in 3 size formats 4 x 2k (16hybs), 12k and 90k.
