Cortex Biochem Signs Distribution Agreement for Vita to Market MagaZorb(R) Nucleic Acid Isolation Kits in Japan.SAN LEANDRO, Calif. -- Cortex Biochem(TM), Inc., a global leader in developing magnetic particle technology and products used in genomic research and clinical diagnostics, has announced expansion of its channel partner program via a distribution partnership with Vita, Inc. of Chiba, Japan. Under the distribution agreement, Vita will promote, market, and sell Cortex Biochem MagaZorb(R) Nucleic Acid nucleic acid, any of a group of organic substances found in the chromosomes of living cells and viruses that play a central role in the storage and replication of hereditary information and in the expression of this information through protein synthesis. Isolation Kits and associated reagents, and Cortex Magnetic Separation and Immunoreagent products, in Japan. Vita, a leading value-added distributor, will develop the large volume OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and and direct sales sectors of Cortex business. "We're excited to partner with Vita to increase the availability of Cortex Biochem products in Japan," said Dr. Matt Pourfarzaneh, Cortex Biochem president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "We appointed Vita for their ability to deliver advanced biotechnology products and excellent technical support and service." Earlier this year, Cortex Biochem received a U.S. patent for the MagaZorb(R) Nucleic Acid (DNA/RNA) Isolation and Purification System, which provides the core technology for MagaZorb(R) products. The system provides a single process for isolating nucleic acids Nucleic acids The cellular molecules DNA and RNA that act as coded instructions for the production of proteins and are copied for transmission of inherited traits. , such as DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. , RNA RNA: see nucleic acid. RNA in full ribonucleic acid One of the two main types of nucleic acid (the other being DNA), which functions in cellular protein synthesis in all living cells and replaces DNA as the carrier of genetic and PNA PNA Palestinian National Authority PNA Phoneline Networking Alliance PNA Peptide Nucleic Acid PNA Personal Navigation Assistant PNA Pacific/North American PNA Polish National Alliance (established 1880 in Chicago, Illinois) , from various samples, including biological fluids, tissues and cells. While other systems require separate kits and protocols for different source material, MagaZorb(R) uses the "one kit for all" concept and is sensitive enough to isolate very small amounts of nucleic acids. Vita Inc., based in Chiba, Japan, has a strong collaboration with Veritas, Inc., a long-standing successful Japanese biotechnology marketing company. Vita's professional, innovative and enthusiastic staff has a clearly defined mission to create close relationships with customers, a prerequisite for successful OEM business relationships. Vita markets specialized research reagents to the Japanese biotechnology industry and scientific community with a 30-year reputation for quality and service. Cortex Biochem(TM) Inc., (http://www.cortex-biochem.com) based in San Leandro, CA, is a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative, versatile, and reliable products for Molecular Biology molecular biology, scientific study of the molecular basis of life processes, including cellular respiration, excretion, and reproduction. The term molecular biology was coined in 1938 by Warren Weaver, then director of the natural sciences program at the Rockefeller , Magnetic Separation, and Immunodiagnostics. The company's proprietary magnetic particle technology is the foundation for its MagaZorb(R) and MagaPhase(R) products as well as other reagents for infectious disease and reporter gene research. Cortex Biochem's worldwide business channels support research scientists as well as molecular and clinical laboratories in their quest to advance basic research and improve commercial operations. |
