The NanoArrayer(TM) System Will Play a Key Role in the Development of a New Molecular Screening Process.


AMES, Iowa -- BioForce Nanosciences is pleased to announce placement of a NanoArrayer(TM) System at North Carolina State University History

Main article: History of North Carolina State University
The North Carolina General Assembly founded NC State on March 7, 1887 as a land-grant college under the name North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
 in the laboratory of Dr. Dan Feldheim, Professor of Chemistry.

"The NanoArrayer System provides a unique solution to the problem Dr. Feldheim faces of ultramicro-scale deposition of femtoliter volumes on specialized surfaces developed in his laboratory," noted Dr. Eric Henderson, Founder 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.  at BioForce Nanosciences. "In addition to providing this technology, we will also be working with this research group at a collaborative level as they further develop their powerful and novel molecular screening process."

Dr. Feldheim is working with a team of researchers to discover 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
 sequences that catalyze the formation of nanomaterials. The team, which includes Professor Bruce Eaton at The University of Colorado University of Colorado may refer to:
  • University of Colorado at Boulder (flagship campus)
  • University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
  • University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center
  • University of Colorado system
, recently found that certain RNA sequences catalyze the formation of new forms of metallic nanoparticles, compositions that may be useful in alternative energy and medical imaging technologies. He is also excited about implementing this new and enabling system noting "the Bioforce NanoArrayer System will increase the pace of discovery of catalytically active RNA sequences tremendously."

BioForce Nanosciences has been proactive in developing early adopter relationships with customers such as Dr. Feldheim to fully realize the versatility of NanoArrayer technology. "This technology has significant market potential in several areas including Molecular Diagnostics, Molecular Detection and Pharma Discovery," observed Dr. Curtis Mosher A mosher is a person who is crossed between goth/punk/skater they have long hair and listen to music like slipknot and metal music. Some people call them headbangers. At certain music shows they have something called a mosh pit, basically its a fight pit with loads of people bashing each other. , Vice President of Research and Development.
