The Nexar Optimized for Real Time Nucleic Acid Processing is a fully automated solution for low-volume, high-throughput sample processing that integrates liquid handling, DNA amplification, and real-time fluorescence detection in a single instrument. When combined with Douglas Scientific Array Tape™ and EnviroLogix DNAble®* chemistry, it provides a fast, high-quality alternative to real-time PCR for many research applications.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers are a group of brominated flame retardants used primarily as additives in various plastics and polymers. Due to their widespread use as well as their tendency to leach from the polymer matrices, PBDEs have become a major class of environmental pollutants. The ability to bio-accumulate and the structural similarities to PCBs have led to concern over the possible health effects of PBDE exposure.

Large organizations involved in research and production typically handle large volumes of chemical inventory that require different types of storage and tracking. When a laboratory environment is part of the mix, managing the chemical inventory used by the lab presents a challenge to lab managers and environment, health, and safety (EHS) professionals, who must submit regulatory reports that accurately reflect the status of chemicals on-site. Ensuring that the chemical inventory data is accurate is challenging; providing that information in regulatory reports can be a time-consuming and frustrating task if it is not automated.
