PLATINUM SPONSORS
Millennium Science
Millennium Science is a privately owned specialist scientific distributor focused on delivering new technologies to the Australasian life science research community. We believe our success is driven by an uncompromising attitude to service and support, in partnership with carefully selected high technology manufacturers in four core research markets – genomics, proteomics, cell biology and laboratory automation.
Millennium Science organised some of the first commercial product seminars addressing microarray technology and we have developed an excellent reputation for technical capability in this area. Our partnership with Affymetrix began over a decade ago and we have become a market leader with Affymetrix microarray technologies. We have also partnered with several developers of software solutions for array analysis and we are in a unique position to offer array customers a complete solution of data collection, statistical analysis, and determination of the biological meaning of array data.
Millennium Science in partnership with Affymetrix is proud to once again be a Platinum Sponsor of AMATA 2010. We will be hosting a lunchtime presentation on Thursday, 16th September 2010 titled “From whole genome screens to single copy detection: new solutions from Affymetrix” presented by Zuwei Qian, PhD, Associate Director of Scientific Affairs and Collaborations at Affymetrix.
