When used with a Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex sample processor (Figure 2), the TRAC assay offers an efficient and automated solution for target capture, washing and elution. The functionality of TRAC using KingFisher Flex sample processing has been shown in a number of applications, including molecular toxicology, gene expression-based monitoring of biotechnical processes, cell-based cancer marker gene screening, siRNA research and pathway studies.
