Cell Biosciences Acquires Protein Forest
Cell Biosciences, Inc. announced that it has acquired Protein Forest, Inc. This strategic acquisition adds Protein Forest's digital ProteomeChip(TM) product line to Cell Biosciences' portfolio of products for protein analysis.
Protein Forest, founded in 2002, pioneered a new technology for rapid, highly reproducible protein fractionation of complex biological samples - an important prerequisite step for quantitative proteomics measurements. The technology can be used as a sample preparation front-end for many protein analysis techniques, including western blot analysis, mass spectrometry, and the Cell Biosciences' nanoproteomic platforms.
Commenting on the transaction,Tim Harkness, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cell Biosciences, said, "This acquisition adds an exciting sample preparation product line to our growing protein analysis business. The lack of reproducible sample preparation has become a serious problem for proteomics researchers. We believe that the digital ProteomeChip products represent a powerful solution for this market need. The digital ProteomeChip product line fits perfectly with our strategic plan and will be leveraged immediately by our global distribution organization."
