The famous coal-shipping industry began in the 13th cent. , England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2003--Genomic Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of Harvard Bioscience, Inc., (Nasdaq: HBIO), a leading global supplier of automated life science research solutions for genomics, proteomics, and high throughput screening, today announced it has signed an 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 distribution agreement with leading edge bioinformatics developer, Nonlinear Dynamics nonlinear dynamics, study of systems governed by equations in which a small change in one variable can induce a large systematic change; the discipline is more popularly known as chaos (see chaos theory). . Under the agreement, Nonlinear Dynamics will supply a suite of products for the analysis of 2D electrophoresis electrophoresis (ĭlĕk'trōfərē`sĭs): see colloid. electrophoresis Movement of electrically charged particles in a fluid under the influence of an electric field. gels to Genomic Solutions, which will be exclusively distributed under the Investigator(TM) HT Analyzer brand. Genomic Solutions will also distribute Nonlinear A system in which the output is not a uniform relationship to the input. nonlinear - (Scientific computation) A property of a system whose output is not proportional to its input. Dynamics' 1D electrophoresis gel analysis product under the same trade name. Established for many years as the industry-standard for 2D electrophoresis gel analysis, the software supplied under this agreement will include a mid range package for user-guided 2D gel analysis and a further product which offers increased consistency and automation for the proteomics researcher. Genomic Solutions will also distribute Nonlinear's 1D electrophoresis analysis product, a very well established and respected package. It is the only product of its kind to incorporate the generation of band picking coordinates for direct integration with the Investigator ProPic(TM) robotic workstation. These HT Analyzer products will be integrated into the Investigator(TM) proteomics line offered by Genomic Solutions, which includes a 2-D electrophoresis system, ProPic(TM) robotic workstation, ProGest(TM) protein digestion station, ProMS(TM) MALDI MALDI Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization preparation station and ProPrep(TM) protein digestion and mass spec preparation station.
