The new BD FACSAri (TM) III high speed cell sorter.
With up to 6 lasers and unrivaled sensitivity and resolution, it's a
smart choice today and ready for tomorrow's needs. Innovation is built
in with patented laser excitation optics, gel-coupled cuvette, and
highly efficient octagon and trigon detection systems. Plus, a
forward thinking upgrade path allows previous generation BD FACSAria
sorters to achieve these new capabilities.

Special : THE HUMAN GENOME AT TEN
The completion of the draft human genome sequence was announced ten
years ago this week. Nature's survey of life scientists reveals that

commentaries and features explores the lessons learned from the first
post-genome decade.
