IonGate hosts workshop and presents new SURFE²R prototype at SBS 2008

IonGate Biosciences GmbH will present its SURFE²R Technology for label-free and automatic measurement of transport proteins in a workshop at the SBS 2008, 14th Annual Conference & Exhibition of the Society of Biomolecular Sciences. The meeting takes place in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, on April 6 – 10, 2008. Additionally IonGate will give an exclusive preview of the prototype for the new SURFE²R Workstation 5000.

Immediately at the April 6th opening of the congress, IonGate will host an open workshop on transporters in drug discovery focusing on basics of the SURFE²R Technology and its fast and easy implementation into academic research. Simultaneously the workshop highlights important benefits for the pharmaceutical industry using this technology for high-throughput screening in drug development.

During the SBS meeting a poster will be presented detailing the latest research employing the SURFE²R Technology: Through parallel transporter screening an increase in throughput can be achieved. With the next generation model, the Workstation 5000, to be launched later this year, IonGate paves new ways in industrial automation of transporter screening for the pharmaceutical industry. More detailed information about IonGate and its proprietary technologies will be available at booth no. 929.
