The Problem<\/span><\/h3>\n

HydraCorp is a business that focuses on hydrogel technologies that meet novel needs.\u00a0 The current project focuses on a prototype of PAGE gel printer for intermediate-tier and lower research institutions that are not able to do proteomics work in masse by mass\u00a0<\/span>\"\"spectroscopy techniques.\u00a0 Researchers with nee<\/span>ds for pouring handcast polyacrylamide gels for Native PAGE, SDS-PAGE and\u00a0<\/span>2-D PAGE that may\u00a0<\/span>also use gradient pouring techniques can benefit from the technology due to its safer synthesis techniques and ability to control the products produced more customarily for their work in a reproducible way. Other potential uses have <\/span>been identified for teaching purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n
