"[StellARrays™] were remarkably efficient and precise in identifying Notch as
a previously unrecognized signaling pathway of importance to mouse plasmacytomas, a
neoplasm of mature plasma cells, a pathway that is also implicated in the pathogenesis
of the human plasma cell neoplasm, multiple myeloma. The arrays quickly established that
NFkB signaling pathways were activated downstream of a transgene implicated in human
lymphoma and postulated to be oncogenic by constitutively activating the NFκB cascade."

"BHB has the best technology I have seen to detect subtle but real differences in gene
expression that can result in profound variations in biological function. The real key
is their use of the Global Pattern Recognition™ algorithm that circumvents the ambiguities
caused by reliance of a single normalization control."

"I have had the opportunity to use Global Pattern Recognition™ (GPR) since 2003. For
anyone doing multi-gene relative expression analysis, this is really the most reliable, easiest,
and fastest way to determine statistically significant differences in expression levels without
the difficult task of finding the "perfect" housekeeping gene."

"My group has successfully used the real time quantitative PCR system developed by
Bar Harbor Biotechnology to confirm and extend preliminary microarray data analysis
in our experimental system, comparing mRNA from tolerised, immunised and naive mice.
We have been pleased with the quality of the plates supplied, some of which were
custom modified and have found the GPR analysis software easy to use. We chose this
system because it enabled us to test for 384 selected genes from small numbers of
cells (as little as 100ng cDNA). We also liked the fact that the GPR analysis, by
comparing each gene with every other, offered a more rigorous test of differences
in gene expression than traditional real time PCR. The system allowed us to quickly
obtain reliable data and further our investigations into transplant tolerance."

"I feel your [PerfectCircle™] system is much more informative than the standard
microarray method. Having analyzed a couple of different cell models I really did
not get any good data from microarrays. StellARrays™ revealed more gene expression
information."

"Our RNA samples from corneal wound healing experiments were very small, and the process to generate them
was labor intensive. The data that BHB generated from our samples was clear, consistent and very informative.
Technical support was very helpful."
