 Advanced Liquid Logic, Inc.
Nanoliter Lab-on-a-chip
Advanced Liquid Logic develops microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices for highly automated, rapid and portable liquid handlers for a diverse range of applications.
 Bio-gyali, Inc.
Preserving Proteins by Microglassification
Bio-gyali, Inc. has developed proprietary technology that gently removes water from solutions of biologicals, like antibodies, enzymes, and therapeutic proteins. The Microglassification process is carried out at room temperature and avoids exposure to extreme temperatures and harsh drying environments preserving efficacy and improving yield especially for the new and environment-sensitive molecules that are currently being developed in the pharmaceutical industry. Microbeads are now protected against degradation so stabilizing the biologicals for storage, transport, and inclusion in a variety of drug delivery formulations.
 Bioptigen, Inc.™
Optical Coherence Tomography for Small Animal Imaging and Developmental Biology
Bioptigen is leading the development of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) based imaging for preclinical developmental biology markets. Bioptigen OCT is designed for whole-body imaging of embryonic and small animal models, tissue level imaging in large biological structures and non-invasive optical biopsy.
Bioptigen technology introduces OCT imaging systems with the greatest image clarity, maximum resolution, and highest throughput to increase the efficacy of the small animal validation phase in drug development and genomics research.
DATAbased Design & Decisions
DATAbased Design & Decisions' product is a Data Integration and Business Intelligence reporting software toolkit. It integrates data across the enterprise in real-time, regardless of database type, platform, or system, and then provides on-demand querying and reporting via a simple web-based point and click interface.
