The market for high-throughput and multiplex immunoassay systems consists of a variety of proprietary technologies that miniaturize and automate ELISA-based assays. These systems have become important tools in research and bioprocessing applications. Over the past decade, their use has increased, particularly in the areas of biomarker discovery and development, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and bioprocessing. Nonetheless, there […]
At a time when large exhibitions seem to be declining in attendance and exhibitor participation, Analytica has clearly established itself as a “must-attend event” based on a proven formula for success. The trade fair took place May 10–13 in Munich, Germany. Held at an outstanding modern venue in the heart of Europe, well planned and […]
Almost always, an analytical technology can meet the needs of different end-user markets. However, the successful transition of a technology from one market, in which it may be well established, to an entirely new and different market is often a precise and dedicated process. In this article, IBO examines three research technologies that have made […]
Molecular cytogenetic technologies have become vitally important in the analysis of chromosomes for both diagnostics and research applications. Technologies such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and microarrays are replacing traditional karyotyping. FISH uses fluorescent probes that bind to the complementary DNA sequence on a chromosome. The samples are typically placed on a glass slide, […]
Luminex’s xMAP suspension bead array systems have been widely adopted for research, drug discovery and IVD applications. The xMAP technology uses microscopic polystyrene beads as a carrier of a specific protein, antibody or nucleic acid. These beads are internally dyed using precise ratios of fluorophores, allowing researchers to detect specific reactions. Luminex offers three systems […]
Company Announcements Genalyte is marketing Scienion’s sciFLEXARRAYER liquid dispensers with its Maverick Detection System. Agilent licensed its SureFISH probes for use with BioDiscovery’s Nexus software for cytogenetic microarrays. Tecan and JPT Peptide Technologies are collaborating to co-promote JPT’s peptide arrays and profiling capabilities with Tecan’s microarray handling devices. Arrayjet opened an office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, […]
The life science instrumentation (LSI) market is the largest technology sector, accounting for about a quarter of the total analytical instruments industry. It encompasses a broad spectrum of technologies grouped into 13 categories. Unlike most other instrument markets, the LSI market is heavily reliant on the aftermarket. Consumables, reagents, kits and other aftermarket products make […]
Company Announcements BioDot agreed in March to comarket Quantiscientific’s A2 Micoarray System. Protagen announced in April a partnership with Scienion, which will produce protein microarray batches for clinical validation of Protagen’s biomarker panels. The companies also plan to jointly evaluate new platforms for multiplex analytics and codevelop new approaches. In September, Scienion agreed to distribute […]
Company Announcements Oxford Gene Technologies entered into an exclusive licensing agreement in February with the Oslo University Hospital and the University of Oslo for 12 colorectal cancer tissue DNA methylation biomarkers. In March, Procognia signed a binding letter of intent, granting Beijing Cy-Tech Biotech exclusive rights to sell the lectin array–based GlycoScope solution in the […]
