Grace Bio-labs Improves Detection of Proteins by Fluorescence in Protein Microarrays.

Grace Bio-Labs Inc. announces launch of SuperNOVA nitrocellulose thin-film slides, optimized for use with fluorescence detection in protein microarrays. The newest formulation of Grace’s thin-film nitrocellulose for protein arrays offers low background fluorescence without sacrificing high protein binding capacity. Grace Bio-Labs invented thin-film nitrocellulose on glass slides nearly 20 years ago, and they continue to improve its properties for use in protein applications. Nitrocellulose films have become the preferred substrate for protein arrays due to their high binding capacity and unique three-dimensional structure. ONCYTE® brand SuperNOVA slides are the second generation of nitrocellulose film slides developed specifically for fluorescence detection, improving on the existing NOVA slides.
