llumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) announced HiSeq 1000, a single flow cell version of the company‘s

HiSeq 2000 sequencing system. HiSeq 1000 is designed for researchers who want the ease of use, industry-leading cost per gigabase (Gb) and data rate of the HiSeq 2000 but do not currently require its throughput. As their research scales, users will be able to upgrade their system to the HiSeq 2000 and double their output. http://www.illumina.com

ndustrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets: INTK) announced that they are working with a major

California power company to use the Company’s pa- tented Nansulate®

coatings to increase energy generation efficiency and reduce costs. Previously, Nansulate®

was used

on an oil pipeline project by international power company, Galp Energia, for insulation and corrosion control. The coatings are used worldwide to insulate equipment and facilities, to protect equipment, redu- ce energy consumption, and improve worker safety.

“Nansulate® coating technology is an innovation in

insulation technology. End users of power have been reducing their energy consumption with our coa- tings for years. It is logical that the power companies would also be interested in increasing the efficiency of power generation with this technology,” stated Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. “We have been working with a large power company on the west coast to identify areas where Nansulate coatings can incre- ase their efficiency, including pipelines, boilers, gas meters, and similar equipment.” http://www.industrial-nanotech.com
