Press Release:
Attana
in 2007
Stockholm, 16 February, 2007
– Attana AB, a leading supplier of affordable label-free
biosensor systems for real-time detection and analysis of
molecular interactions, will be participating at various
antibody and diagnostics conferences and exhibitions early
this year.
-
Attana is a proud corporate supporter of
The Protein Engineering Summit (PEGS) which will
be held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, this May 14th
– 18th, 2007. Representatives from Attana
will be exhibiting the new A100 C-Fast system throughout
the duration of the PEGS Summit at booth number 24.
-
Attana will showcase the latest automated
system at the British Society for Immunology Glasgow
2007 conference between February 20th and
23rd, 2007.
They would be situated at booth number 9.
-
Attana will be present at the 3rd
Halle Conference on Recombinant Protein Production
in Germany. Attana representatives will be participating
in this conference as delegates and will be open to
discussions about the latest A100 C-Fast system and
more.
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Attana AB
was founded in 2002 with the goal of becoming a world
leader within sensor technologies for detecting, registering
and measuring chemical and biochemical reactions, based on
the Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technology. Today,
Attana develops and sells the A100 biosensor along with
consumables and associated services throughout Europe.
Attana’s systems are employed by leading universities and
biotech companies within application areas ranging from drug
discovery to surface science, yet all with a common goal:
understanding molecules.
ABOUT Technology
Quartz Crystal
Microbalance (QCM) can be explained as a very sensitive
scale or balance, which can measure atomic changes in mass.
QCM uses the piezoelectric effect of quartz crystals, by
applying an AC-potential to oscillate a quartz crystal. When
atoms or molecules are added to, or removed from the
surface, the change in the resonance frequency can be
converted to a mass response. By attaching a specific
molecule (the target) to the surface of the crystal and
letting a sample flow over the surface, the target’s
interaction with the sample can efficiently be studied. QCM
can thereby be used to detect the presence of a substance or
to characterize biochemical reactions, e.g. a drug
candidate’s interaction with a protein.
