| Biolog is
a world leader in cell-based testing technologies and assays. We
have focused our efforts on developing technologies and products
to test properties of cells (phenotypes) very simply and efficiently.
The website describes our business focus in two areas. First is
Microbial Identification and Characterization. Biolog is the only
company providing technology to identify a very wide range and large
number of microbial species (~ 2000) by simple phenotypic testing.
The most recent additions to this product line include identification
capabilities for dangerous pathogens (bacteria that could be employed
in a bio-terrorism attack) and for filamentous fungi. The company
produces and sells a variety of test kits and instruments
to meet the needs of a wide customer base, servicing diverse
markets in over 60 countries.
Our second technology and product area is called Phenotype MicroArrays.
This is an exciting, state-of-the-art technology for testing thousands
of cellular phenotypes simultaneously. Two major areas of application
for this technology are in new drug discovery and development and
in basic research in the exciting new fields of cellular genomics
and toxicogenomics. |
