Founded in 2000, BioMicro Systems focuses on the development and commercialization of biological research products based on its microfluid and microarray technologies. It develops and improves microfluidic microarray sample processing. Microarrays are tools used by major pharmaceutical companies and research laboratories to sift through and analyze information contained within a genome. BioMicro Systems has launched the MAUI Hybridization System, a microarray instrument designed to target the processing bottleneck encountered during the critical hybridization step in gene expression studies. BioMicro Systems offers several standard MAUI Mixers to work with various microarray dimensions and hybridization temperature requirements. It is located in Salt Lake City.
