Expression Analysis Relocates to Larger Laboratory Facility while Expanding its Genomic Services and Staff.DURHAM, N.C. -- Expression Analysis, Inc., the industry's leading provider of Affymetrix GeneChip[R] brand microarray See micro array. microarray - A technique for performing many DNA experiments in parallel. Nothing to do with computers. services for clinical trials, announced today that it has relocated its GLP-compliant laboratory to a larger facility in Durham, NC. After doubling its revenue in fiscal 2006, the company has increased its staff and expanded the service offerings to meet the needs of its growing client base. The new facility, located on 4324 South Alston Avenue in Durham, NC, provides a three-fold increase in the amount of laboratory space. Dr. Thomas Goralski, Vice President of Laboratory Operations said, "Last year we tripled our capacity for Affymetrix GeneChip testing and dramatically increased both our gene expression and genotyping Genotyping refers to the process of determining the genotype of an individual with a biological assay. Current methods of doing this include PCR, DNA sequencing, and hybridization to DNA microarrays or beads. services. We quickly out grew our current facility and look forward to the new site." The larger facility also enables the installation of new equipment required for higher throughput Affymetrix testing as well as complementary services using other platforms. Mr. Steve McPhail, 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. of Expression Analysis said, "Our clients have requested a variety of solutions for their gene expression and genotyping studies. We are working to meet their needs by introducing new approaches for testing 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 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. specimens from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues on the Affymetrix platform and by initiating genomic services using Illumina, Luminex and Applied Biosystems' TaqMan[R] technology platforms." In the last six months, Expression Analysis doubled its laboratory and informatics Same as information technology and information systems. The term is more widely used in Europe. personnel. The company also created a dedicated marketing team and added two experienced US sales representatives for pharmaceutical and biotechnology accounts.
