SpectraGenetics joins Intellicyt’s Technology Alliance Partner Program
August 17, 2015
Albuquerque, New Mexico – August 17, 2015 – Intellicyt, the leading provider of innovative, high-throughput, high-content cell and bead-based screening solutions today announced its latest TAP awardee and partner, Dr. G. Reid Asbury, CEO of SpectraGenetics, Inc. The Intellicyt TAP Program was created to collaborate with pioneering scientists and commercial partners to advance the frontier of cell- and bead-based assays, and discover new therapeutic leads through the use of our proprietary High Throughput Flow technology.
“We’re delighted to welcome SpectraGenetics as the newest member of the TAP program.” stated R. Terry Dunlay, CEO of Intellicyt. Dr. Asbury’s use of the Intellicyt’s iQue® Screener instrument and ForeCyt® software will further the development of a new type of internalization and trafficking assay for G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR’s), an important class of proteins for therapeutic development. The combination of this assay with the Intellicyt iQue Screener’s ability to measure 50,000 wells per day in 96-, 384- or 1536-well microplates, will enable assessment of very large (1,000,000+) primary compound screens.
“The iQue Screener in combination with Spectragenetics’ GPCR screening reagents, is the perfect solution, offering unrivaled data quality and throughput for this valuable class of drug targets,” Dr. Asbury stated.
