By Molecular Devices Inc., PRNEMonday, July 4, 2011
SUNNYVALE, California, July 5, 2011 -
Today, Molecular Devices, a leading provider of instruments,
software, and consumables for drug discovery and life sciences
research, announced that the Drug Discovery Division of Genetix
will join Molecular Devices.
(Logo:
With the addition of Genetix, Molecular Devices continues to
grow as a leading technology supply company for research,
biotechnology, and pharmaceutical customers around the world.
Research in Pharma/Biotech is shifting toward biotherapeutic
drugs (antibodies, proteins, and vaccines). Two key products
from Genetix, the ClonePix™ and QPix™ instrument platforms, address
cell lines used in biotherapeutic research. ClonePix is an
automated mammalian cell selection platform that significantly
expedites the process of identifying and selecting cells that
produce biotherapeutic candidates, reducing both time and cost.
In addition, the CloneSelect™ Imager and CellReporter from
Genetix will extend Molecular Devices’ imaging portfolio. These
products offer a good value for a budget conscious end user.
Commenting on the move, Mark Verheyden, President of Molecular
Devices said, “We are excited about welcoming Genetix into the
Molecular Devices team, knowing that the combined business will be
better positioned to serve our customers.”
