OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 04, 2008) - Spartan Bioscience Inc., a Canadian molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures, and markets DNA analyzers for on-demand applications, today announced a significant breakthrough for its Spartan DX™ DNA analyzer. The addition of a second (Red) channel for optical detection permits scientists to test for two genetic markers simultaneously in the same reaction tube. It also enables scientists to run internal controls to confirm that an assay is working properly. This product enhancement will provide Spartan customers with improved diagnostic capabilities for their on-demand DNA testing applications, including real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction).
