Dow Jones Description

We are a life sciences company focused on the development and commercialization of a novel, enabling, platform technology called pressure cycling technology ("PCT"). PCT uses cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels (up to 35,000 psi and greater) to control bio-molecular interactions. Our pressure cycling technology uses instrumentation that is capable of cycling pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels (up to 35,000 psi or greater) at controlled temperatures to rapidly and repeatedly control the interactions of bio-molecules. Our pressure-generating instrument is called the Barocycler ® . Our PCT-related consumables product line includes PULSE (Pressure Used to Lyse Samples for Extraction) Tubes as well as application specific ("ProteoSolve") kits. Our Barocycler instrument, together with our consumable products and reagents, make up the PCT Sample Preparation System ("PCT SPS"). In the second quarter of 2009, we introduced for sale our PCT MicroTube Adapter Kit for use with our Barocycler instruments. The PCT MicroTube Adapter Kit, in combination with the PCT SPS, can reliably and reproducibly control the enzymatic digestion of proteins while reducing the time of digestion from hours to minutes with the same or better quality as other, currently available techniques. ...
