TUSTIN, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 19, 2007 -- The recent 36-minute power outage could have been devastating for the $3.7M UNLV Biotechnology Center at the Shadow Lane Campus in Las Vegas, NV. While some of the Center's critical computer systems fried, its $300,000 investment in Applied Biosystems (ABI) genetic analysis and DNA amplification instrumentation ran smoothly and completed all test runs containing rare DNA samples. Without the instrumentation-grade power protection systems provided by Franek Technologies, the leader in certified Category III-3 Laboratory Battery Backup Power Protection Systems (LPS/UPS), the Center would have been brought to a sudden halt resulting in not only significant financial loss, but more importantly, the destruction of irreplaceable DNA samples.
