Make It Personal: Logitech Unveils New ID Grip for G9 Laser Mouse Dec 5, 2008 04:00AM

FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Logitech(R) G9 Laser Mouse has always offered gamers the ability to tune their mouse for the way they play - including features such as weight tuning, interchangeable grips and custom-color LEDs. Now, Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) lets you make the G9 mouse even more personal with the introduction of the Logitech(R) G9 Laser Mouse ID Grip. With the ID Grip, you can have the image of your choice printed on the palm area of the grip. You can choose among game-specific artwork, a selection from a gallery of designs created by Logitech, or an image you provide.

"In surveying gamers who own a Logitech mouse, we learned that more than 65 percent want to mod their hardware," said Rory Dooley, Logitech senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. "The Logitech G9 Laser Mouse ID Grip provides gamers with a new level of personalization. Whether it's a guild logo or a personal photo, we're delighted to give gamers the ability to make the G9 mouse even more a reflection of their unique personality."

To provide a durable image that won't fade even after intense gaming, the rub- and fade-proof image is applied with a specially designed custom printing process that infuses it into the surface of the grip. The result is a high-quality, high-resolution color image. And adding an image to the grip is easy. You can choose from game-specific artwork, such as Command & Conquer(TM) Red Alert(TM) 3 from Electronic Arts Inc., or upload a personal image of your own. (Certain restrictions apply; uploads subject to technical and image-content requirements.)

In addition to helping you further personalize your G9 mouse, Logitech's grip presents a new shape. Providing exceptional palm and wrist support, the broad-shaped grip is designed for extended gameplay, and can make even those gamers with large hands feel comfortable. In addition, a soft-touch side grip offers a comfortable texture that feels good during short gaming sessions and epic battles. Easy to snap on to the G9 Laser Mouse, the ID Grip can be attached or detached with the push of a button.

However, even with this decreased spending, more than half of the general public and 40 percent of affluent Americans are also saving less than they were three months ago -- with approximately one in five citing that they're saving "much less."

Asuragen Initiates Launch of CE-Marked Molecular Diagnostic Products with the Release of the Signature(R) LTx v2.0 Leukemia Translocation Panel Assay in Europe Dec 5, 2008 04:00AM

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Asuragen, Inc. announced today that the Signature(R) LTx v2.0 Leukemia Translocation Panel was released as a "Conformite Europeenne" or "European Conformity" CE IVD product under the European Directive on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices. The CE-marked Signature(R) LTx v2.0 is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device for use in a clinical laboratory to identify specific fusion transcripts in total RNA from whole blood or bone marrow to aid in the clinical diagnosis of translocation positive leukemias. Clinical validation studies showed 100% diagnostic accuracy (95% confidence interval 93.8 to 100%) in comparison to standard cytogenetic methods. This represents the world's first Luminex-based molecular oncology IVD product.

The assay is a multiplex reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) amplification, followed by multiplex amplicon detection on the Luminex(R) 100(TM) IS or 200(TM) system. The liquid bead array assay format provides comprehensive information on 12 different fusion transcripts associated with ALL, AML, APL or CML and an internal control in a single test. "Standard cytogenetic analysis by karyotyping or fluorescence in situ hybridization can be laborious or require multiple successive hybridizations to detect a given chromosomal translocation. Asuragen's expertise in multiplex RNA-based assays enables the rapid molecular diagnosis of leukemia fusion transcripts and therefore improves workflow and efficiency in the clinical laboratory while nicely complementing standard diagnostic hematopathology testing," according to Rollie Carlson, Ph.D., President, Asuragen Inc.

The Signature(R) LTx platform was initially launched in early 2005 as a research use only (RUO) product in order to assess its potential utility in the clinical diagnostic environment. After extensive clinical evaluation at major academic medical institutions, Signature(R) LTx v2.0 CE IVD is now available immediately to clinical laboratories throughout the European Union. "This launch signifies the transformation of an established research product into a clinical assay that provides fast and accurate results needed to aid in leukemia diagnosis and subsequent therapeutic decision making. It illustrates the potential of Asuragen's broad menu of leukemia research tools and represents another step towards Asuragen's goal of providing cutting edge clinical products to the global market," said Matt Winkler, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Executive Officer, Asuragen, Inc.

The Signature(R) LTx v2.0 CE IVD assay follows the European launch of RNARetain(TM), Asuragen's clinically validated and cGMP manufactured sample collection and RNA stabilization in vitro diagnostic device.

About Asuragen, Inc.

Asuragen is a fully integrated diagnostic reagent company and molecular biology service provider, focused on molecular oncology and genetic diseases, with emphasis on microRNA (miRNA). Asuragen's current diagnostic product portfolio consists of Signature(R) Genetic Testing and Oncology Testing products as well as industry leading controls and standards engineered using its patented Armored RNA(R) technology. Asuragen is empowered with a high level of scientific expertise and assay development along with a well developed business infrastructure, cGLP testing services and an established cGMP manufacturing facility that allows it to span the spectrum of discovery, testing, production and commercialization.
