| Affymetrix Issues Next-gen Instrument Control Software's Beta Affymetrix says that a beta version of its next-generation instrument control software is now available for download. Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console (AGCC) software will replace the GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS) and will support all cartridge-based GeneChip arrays with a file-based system designed for easy data sharing, a streamlined workflow, and ease of use. AGCC, scheduled to launch commercially in early 2007, will offer features for sample and array registration, data management, fluidics and scanning instrument control, as well as automatic and manual image gridding. AGCC will also produce Probe Cell intensity data (.CEL file generation). The new software also offers integrated data management with extensive search capabilities, desktop and Web interface versions, integrated instrument control, as well as easy customization and integration with in-house and third-party software tools. Affymetrix will continue to support GCOS into 2008. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
