Bayer Technology Services acquires microarray company.Leverkusen, Germany 3/9/05--Bayer Technology Services GmbH (BTS BTS - Bug Tracking System ), a part of Bayer AG Bayer AG German chemical and pharmaceutical company. Founded in 1863 by Friedrich Bayer (1825–1880), it now operates plants in more than 30 countries. Bayer has originated scores of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and synthetic materials; it was the first developer and , has acquired Zeptosens AG. Based in Witterswil, Switzerland, Zeptosens, a 1998 spin-off of Novartis, sells the ZeptoMARK protein microarrays, SensiChip DNA microarrays and SensiChip DNA microarray system based on fluorescence detection on the surface of a planar optical waveguide waveguide, device that controls the propagation of an electromagnetic wave so that the wave is forced to follow a path defined by the physical structure of the guide. . "The know-how and intellectual property of Zeptosens are an excellent complement to BTS's existing technology portfolio for planar waveguides and biochip biochip Small-scale device, analogous to an integrated circuit, constructed of or used to analyze organic molecules associated with living organisms. One type of theoretical biochip is a small device constructed of large organic molecules, such as proteins, and capable of technologies," said Dr. Helmut Mothes, senior vice president of BTS Process Technology. |
