Corning....

Just FYI...you might want to check out the Corning Home Page. corning.com to find a list of the businesses that make up Corning. corning.com

When I lived in Phoenix my next door neighbor worked for Corning....at the time Corning meant "pink insulation" to me. (Having a well insulated home in Phoenix was important to survive the summer heat.) I had no idea of any other products that they sold. Corning is definitely more than "cookware" and fiber. Look at some of the diversified areas that make up Corning.

IMO probably one of the most overlooked "values" that makes up Corning is in the area of genetic research. "Discover How We Are Fueling the Genomics Revolution"

Genomics has the potential to transform
medicine as we know it, helping
scientists develop precise new
approaches to diagnosing, treating and
preventing disease.

The DNA microarrays manufactured by
Corning are a vital tool in this genomics
revolution. DNA microarrays give researchers the ability to study thousands of
genes at once and discover disease targets at a rate unimaginable a decade
ago. Our interactive tutorial will help you understand the science of genomics and
the technology behind DNA microarrays."

The above discovery is felt to be by some in genetic research extremely significant, since it greatly speeds up the time requirements for performing certain tests. corning.com

" Printing DNA Arrays on GAPS - DMSO protocolThis technical bulletin gives instructions for printing cDNA on CMT-GAPS™ coated slides using 50% DMSO as a printing solution. It also
includes a step-by-step hybridization protocol.

Contact Angle and it's Importance
This bulletin describes hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and optimal surfaces as they relate to contact angle and microarray quality.
