VLA offers access to Biolog cell phenotyping technology
VLA has launched a new initiative providing access to cell phenotyping to not-for-profit organisations and commercial companies based on the Biolog Phenotype Microarray platform.
VLA has been working closely with Biolog‘s UK distributor, TECHNOPATH, for the past two years and has built up an extensive experience of using the unique Biolog Phenotype MicroArray system and OmniLog instrument platform for a wide range of microorganisms.
Just as DNA Microarrays and Proteomic Technologies have made it possible to assay the level of thousands of genes or proteins all at once, Phenotype MicroArrays make it possible to quantitatively measure thousands of cellular phenotypes, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
The new technology access initiative was launched in collaboration with TECHNOPATH at VLA Weybridge on 12 November 2008.
