Solulink
Introduces ChromaLink Biotin 354S for the Quantitative Spectrophotometric
Detection and Measurement of Incorporated Biotin
San
Diego, California, July 20, 2005- Solulink, innovator of novel linking and conjugation
chemistry, today announced that is has developed and is introducing
an entirely new, faster, simpler and more accurate assay for
the quantitation of total incorporated biotin. The new product,
named ChromaLink Biotin 354S, is a direct, non-destructive UV
measure of total incorporated biotin. The new method incorporates
biotin onto amine containing biomolecules allowing for direct
spectrophotometric quantitation of total biotin.
Steve DeGraw, Chief Business Officer of Solulink, comments that
"ChromaLink Biotin 354S is the result of meeting an existing
market need with our unique conjugation technology. The introduction
of ChromaLink Biotin 354S represents Solulink's first step toward
vertically integrating its chemistry into its own assay solutions
for specific market applications. Solulink's continuous innovation
of conjugation chemistry increases our customer and collaborator
abilities to build greater value into their respective research
assay, micro array, molecular detection, diagnostic, pharmaceutical
and nanotechnology products. Solulink has established a strong
leadership position in these conjugation areas and continues
to actively expand, maintain and manage its patent portfolio."
The
conjugation of biomolecules including proteins, DNA, antibodies
and peptides to one another and to solid surfaces is a critical
and many times frustrating project for many pharmaceutical,
diagnostics, clinical, biomedical research assay and micro array
organizations. Solulink chemistry not only links all types of
biomolecules together but also allows them to retain their inherent
biological activity. The conjugation technology has proven
to be much easier to use, to provide greater stability and is
more cost effective since it requires fewer steps to use than
existing technology. Solulink manufactures and markets
its products and services directly and through distributors.
The company has successfully assisted its customers and partners
to incorporate Solulink chemistry into several bioscience products
on the market today.
