Primera is developing a proprietary gene expression analysis system, “STAR” (Scalable Transcription Analysis Routine) that combines into a single system the desirable features of both real-time PCR and DNA microarray technologies. By increasing the throughput and lowering costs while maintaining accuracy and quantification, the STAR platform has the potential to become the premier gene expression analysis platform for use in research, clinical development and diagnostics. Primera has applied for a number of patents that include claims for the core process, diagnostic applications, key reagents and instrumentation. The STAR technology was invented by Vladimir Slepnev, Ph.D., Primera’s Vice President of Research & Development. ( www.primerabio.com )
