MADISON, Wis.—December 6, 2007—GWC Technologies Inc. of Madison today announced an agreement with Biolab A/S under which Biolab will serve as exclusive distributor for GWC’s label-free array systems in Scandinavia. “Label-free” systems have extensive benefits for proteomics research, in part because they avoid fluorescent labels that can cause experimental artefacts. Label-free analysis also allows more information to be collected about how molecules interact than do conventional scientific instruments. Biolab will now be able to offer GWC’s versatile label-free detection systems to life scientists in Scandinavia, providing superior and more cost-effective capabilities for research into proteomics, cell biology, food science, and the development of novel array fabrication methods.
According to Tim Burland, GWC’s President & CEO, “This new relationship with Biolab establishes full-service, local representation in Scandinavia for GWC’s label-free array products. Biolab’s staff have both the scientific background and the technical capabilities needed to provide the standard of service and support that GWC expects of its partners. Biolab has developed a strong reputation in the industry for its dedication to service and for its commitment to identifying the best solutions for its customers. We are delighted to welcome Biolab to GWC’s worldwide team.”
