horizontally into the drawer of the Toaster. Premade cartridges of polyacrylamide

fit into an injector. Using a handle on the injector, the technologist squeezes the

polyacrylamide directly into the cassette. Using UV light, the Toaster polymerizes

the gel in about five minutes.

mainly for research, there is a potential market in clinical labs. Because of the

modular nature of the CEQ 2000 XL, which makes it possible to add platforms as

were at a known predetermined level ranging from 10% to 100%. Affymetrix has

been also collaborating with Roche on the development of DNA chips that test for

HIV, p53, and 57 different CF mutations. Although the assay provides an

distinction of pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms, and detection of

antibiotic resistance without the need for culture.

During the next ten years, DNA probes for microbiology testing

will not only expand the size of the diagnostics market, but will also supplement

some of the conventional technologies. The probes will increase the amount of

The infectious disease testing is expected to remain the main

focus of DNA probe effort worldwide, at least during the next 5-7 years.

However, many of the microorganisms will continue being identified by traditional

disease testing, some microorganisms, like most Streptococcus, E.coli and

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

replace culture methods for them in the near future. Some of these organisms can

be identified as fast in culture as by performing PCR. Another reason culture will

remain a valuable tool for infectious disease testing is the wide range of
