MICROARRAY TECHNOLOGY

During last decade, the introduction of microarray technology has had a profound impact on gene expression and molecular Biology research. Instead of measuring the expression of one or a few genes, microarrays can query the expression level of thousands of genes simultaneously, providing an extremely powerful tool for the characterization of processes as diverse as development, disease detection, drug effects and pathogen response. Data mining from microarray analysis is already having a great impact in both basic and applied research, and predictions indicate that array technology will revolutionize our approach to medicine.

Microarray is a rapid and cost-effective means of generating sequence data which help scientists to detect pathologies, find the genes or the pathogen responsible for a disease, and also find the best treatment. The most recent generation of microarray allows scientists to readily perform DNA analysis, providing the ability to analyse complete genomes in a single experiment. The main advantages of microarrays technology are:

  • High throughput
  • Multiple specimen screen
  • Time-efficiency
  • Low cost
  • Multiple uses
  • Reliable results

Although at the beginning, microarray technology has been used as a research technology, now it is transforming in an essential tool for prognosis and diagnostic applications.  Furthermore, using array analysis, the expression profiles of normal and tumor tissues, treated and untreated cell cultures, healthy and diseased tissue, developmental stages of an organism or tissue, can be compared, and the range of microarray applications is really enormous.

Biotools B&M Labs., S.A. presents you the Proteogene-Microarray Line, a portfolio of biochip-based high-throughput technology platforms and their applications. The spectrum of our products includes biochips and their related instrumentation, controls, software and databases.


In 2007, Biotools began a partnership with CapitalBio Corporation, a leading life science company based in Beijing, P.R. China that produces biochips, and offers products and services to the scientific community. Most of CapitalBio’s proprietary products will be introduced to the Spanish market through this partnership with Biotools.

CapitalBio Corporation provides a comprehensive product range to a wide spectrum of users. These products include biochips and related instrumentation, software and databases, and reagents and consumables for applications in drug development, clinical diagnostics, and biosafety testing to address numerous human health issues.

CapitalBio is ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified. In addition, CapitalBio’s products are certified with the appropriate CE Certificates and TUV/GS Certificates in Europe and the USA.
