San Diego, Toronto - January 14, 2002

 

 

  Genteon, Inc. and Advanced Chemistry Development have signed an agreement whereby ACD will provide its new ACD/GeneManager software for integration with Genteon’s Capella 400ä, a high-throughput 384 capillary electrophoresis system for DNA polymorphism analysis.  

  Building on ACD’s expertise in the development of spectroscopy and chromatography software, ACD/GeneManager software was specifically developed to interpret capillary electrophoresis data.  Features include baseline correction, curve smoothing, mobility shift correction, peak height normalization, multi-component analysis, peak picking, and sample tracking.  Special versions based on Genteon’s internal standards have been developed for SNP analysis and DNA fragment length analysis with the Capella 400.

  Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. is a leader in the field of physical property prediction, desktop chromatography and spectroscopy management, systematic naming, and Web-based access to chemistry prediction. Founded in 1993 and with headquarters in Toronto, Canada, the company employs over 100 people and has established worldwide distribution channels. ACD's mission is to define a new standard in capability for chemistry-based software, addressing the needs of spectroscopy, chromatography, global solutions for analytical data management, physical property prediction, and chemical naming. Information on the company and its products can be found at www.acdlabs.com.

  Genteon, Inc., founded in 2000, is headquartered in San Diego, CA and is engaged in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of high-performance scientific instruments.  The Company’s first product, the Capella 400, is a very high throughput capillary electrophoresis system designed to speed the discovery and reduce the cost of studying genetic variations. Genteon’s team of engineers and molecular biologists with extensive experience in genomics is ready to provide its clients with optimal solutions for their high-throughput DNA analysis needs.
